For threads please post a ==Topic== and at least your nick/name (if you cant be bothered using "~~~~"). End your comments or thoughts with a blank line..
..then a line with 4 tildes ("~~~~") and..
..then a line with 4 hyphens (----)..
This makes a signature and a separating line for the next person.

Useless Spaces
Please stop adding a bunch of useless spaces to various articles, it doesn't look good and simply makes them unnecessarily long.
In most cases it makes reading the page a lot easier. ALL wiki's require TWO (2) blank lines to get a descent space between to objects. ONE (1) blank line is fine for paragraph seperation, but on other divisions it is rendered as "half line" of blank space, whereas using TWO (2) blank lines gets 2.5 blank lines.
On single item pages (like Modules, Missions, NPC's, etc) spacing is used to compensate for the BLACK colored HR rendered by "----". This object is only visible in the top 2-300 pixels of the Galaxy Legion wiki content (as can be seen on this page - there are HR's separating each post, including below this one). It makes the content look continuous, as if it were just another paragraph division.
Posting with TWO (2) blank lines makes a hard separation visually (as I have done above).
Also on those same pages, it was an effort to try to get continuity across various types of "item detail" pages.

Market Artifacts vs Market-only artifacts
I fail to see the distinctions you are making here. If you had included all the common artifacts which can also be purchased with GP on the first page that would have been fine, but you haven't, you just have this column for "Market Only" suggesting that many GP purchase items are not "Market Only".
Are you thinking of the creative workarounds people sometimes use? That doesn't really render a GP only item as non-Market only, it just means there is a convoluted way to get hold of it without spending GP. Those who offer such services often charge through the nose in ctp anyway.

although initially I just cut and paste the parts of the table with Market Only Artifacts, they are in fact only available from the Market, as in require GP. all other artifacts can be gained from Artifacts Shipments (or a chance to gain them).
The idea is that someone wants to know/see only those artifacts which are not available in the actual game (outside of the Market).
The second part of this seperation is to allow proper and thorough categories and sub-categories, as well as the creation of individual pages for ALL artifacts.
However as such they are still required to be listed on any page that contains a complete list of all Market Artifacts.

I still fail to see why it was necessary to create two different pages. I know full well the difference between those artifacts which are GP only and those that can be gained from AP shipments. What in the world makes you think that (e.g.) Reality Transfusers can be gained in that way? Dave smith354 02:59, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
what are u trying to say - because YOU know the difference its ok NOT to let other people know that?
Xecti Missions Subcategory
Not sure this was necessary either. We'll have mission sub-categories coming out of our ears if we do one for every chain. Also some playable races have npcs or artifacts associated with them, how would you cope with the overlap? Anyway you missed out Xecti Recrudescence.
Just out of interest, do you use the forums at all?

You are forgetting the point of categories, especially with this wiki considering they were not being used before I started adding them..
they are not linked into regular wiki content either, so their "multi-reference" is a bonus, which is not usually possible with wiki content where Categories have been included from the start.
so the basic idea for categories is to include as many as possible for a specific item, usually, but not limited to, artifacts, how to get them, where to find them, what they apply to, there alternate uses, size, bonuses, application stats, and what other categories they come under (ie Xecti Mission NPC Bonus Defence)..
like I say, on another wiki, or if categories had already been used, some of the categorization might be seen as overkill, but on Galaxy Legion this is not the case, where if u are in the categories you are either looking for detailed info and reference, and/or application or path to an artifact..
I have categorized a few pages very thoroughly, if anyone needs an example ..
