Undos and how not to react
Hi there,
When an edit is undone, you should not take them personally. Edits on the Wiki are never personally targeted towards you or anyone else. The edit summary I left was a clear explanation of the reason why I changed the wording, this is standard for Wiki editing. Including comments such as 'Relax' can be seen as hostile, as they are implying the other user is aggressive or otherwise upset.
I've changed it to say 'created' as I can understand the possible confusion. If you wish to discuss this edit please do this here, or on my talk page rather than undoing it.

- I didn't take it personally, and I didn't say relax because I thought you were aggressive or upset. I undid the edit and said relax because you needed to relax. Chill out. Not get worried about people not understanding "newly generated". Because, again, those are extremely common and simple words.--Zandergb (talk) 14:58, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
- Again, this is just hostile and implies the other user is aggressive or otherwise upset. Even if you don't intend it this way, this is the way it's taken. The same could be said for your edit, there is no need to specify that it's a new item because nowhere does it say 'This item gifts one of your own items to another user'. The issue is not 'users do not understand what the words "newly" and "generated" mean', it is that 'newly generated' is not used anywhere else on the Wiki and is overly technical when words like 'new item' simply do the trick.
- And again, smugness and telling people to relax is not something you should do in undo summaries, they are meant to explain why you undid the edit, not to make personal remarks.
