Hello.
As several of you probably know, I will not be able to continue taking care of this wiki forever.
In preparation for when I have to leave, I have constantly tried to find ways to make the wiki easier to take care of for the rest of the staff.
One of the duties that I constantly take care of is to monitor every potentially suspicious edit that takes place in this wiki.
By doing this, I recurrently notice people who use the visual editing mode to create lots of bulky code, that I, or other staff members, have to clean up.
The problem has been kept manageable since I constantly tell any members who perform this error to change their personal user settings to use the source code editor instead, before they have a chance to repeat the same mistake.
However, when I am not around any more, there is a major risk that new members will do so over and over, and mess up many profile structures before they are discovered.
This has the potential to grow into a massive problem in my absence, and as such I am currently trying to convince Wikia's staff to change the default editing settings for the vsbattles wiki to source code mode.
However, they want good examples of this occurring, and I perform such a massive number of different tasks every day that it is hard to recall good examples.
As such, I would like to request help from the community to find "good" (technically "bad" is a better term) examples of the visual editor severely messing up the code structure of pages, so if you remember any such instances, I would appreciate if you could please check the profile editing histories, and post links in responses below.
Thanks in advance for any help.
