#Right, there's definitely a distinction to be had between fixing up writing to match the writing guidelines and just doing pointless style edits that don't add anything. A lot of wikis have a similar mantra, sometimes phrased as "first come, first served". If it's not ''incorrect'', there's no need to do an edit solely to change it to your preferred style. Whatever is there first should stay there, as long as it's correct and consistent.

#I also agree. As was previously stated, if the initial wording was perfectly fine...why bother changing it? The only exception for me is applying that train of thought to using outdated video signal terminology for regional video game releases (especially since modern sources like NSO go with the standard "NA and EU version" route), but I don't think it's that pressing a concern right now. – [[User:Owencrazyboy17|Owencrazyboy17]] ([[User talk:Owencrazyboy17|talk]]) 16:48, 10 April 2024 (UTC) | #I also agree.

#Supporting. Spelling is definitely something some people have strong opinions and preferences, even when both options are correct, so having a policy like that to prevent arguments is good. {{User:Superbound/sig}} 19:18, 11 April 2024 (UTC) | |||
