I'm sorry, what? Isn't this how the whole issue with the unnecessary italization of the page titles and the debacle that followed it happened?

As far as I am aware we don't change the codes (or anything else here) simply because one person doesn't like it. If there is a problem on your end, then that's something you should resolve yourself rather than deciding to change policy/presentation simply because it doesn't suit you personally.

You italicized the article titles without asking anyone else simply because "That's the way Wikipedia does it."

You added magic words like the DefaultSort without asking or consulting anyone (at least as far as I know) to change the sorting of the article titles. And afterwards, specific instructions were not provided to people so that the titles were being added incorrectly. Numerous edits for the sorting had to be redone (and basically resulted in several unnecessary extra edits to correct them) just because you wished to add this to the pages.

I would ask in the future that you quit adding codes or new style techniques to pages/articles simply because you like them or think they are neat. If you would like a change in formatting, presentation, or anything else in the rules, then ask or bring it to an admin's attention ahead of time. No other wiki I admin on has editors change up presentations or MoS like this willy-nilly as it's considered disruptive.

I'm not a fan of the italicized page titles nor of the NavBoxes that make searches more difficult. Despite this, I don't just start changing up formatting and presentation simply because I don't like them.
