-So, on the CS Wiki, we had a rather serious problem with bylines on tutorials - it prevented them from being edited, updated, improved, and when we asked that bylines no longer be used, it sparked a large-ish controversy spanning several pages and a 200 post thread on the CS forums.

-Now we have "bylines", of sorts, in the Talk pages of the Bethesda-written tutorials. Well, OK, clearly they're special for that reason, but are we to take it that those are not to be changed? I'm concerned that they set a bad precedent, and I'm worried about what people will think of them.

-Regardless, you guys should add <nowiki>{{Break}}</nowiki> to the end of your userpages, so when you transclude them like that the floated image doesn't mess things up that come after. We could add the template to each of the pages that you've transcluded into, but it makes more sense for it to be done on your end since it will update all of those pages simultaneously.<br />

-:According to a forum post they definitely are okay with tutorials being edited.  Maybe bylines were for internal... accountability?
-:Anyway, this wiki is chock full of info... so much to learn :(

-::Just two more comments:
-::#Adding a byline doesn't directly prevent anyone from editing the page, however it does ''discourage'' people from editing the page. The byline implies ownership and, as such, that you need permission to change it.
-::#If you want to sign your tutorial, there are places to upload it: the [http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showforum=46 Bethesda Softworks forums] or [http://www.fallout3nexus.com/articles/ the Fallout3Nexus Article Database].

-<br>Really?
-<br>It's hard to say how this will work out. On the one hand, if someone finds a bug or trick with Fallout 3 and it works with Oblivion, then by all means they should be on the same page. On the other hand, would it be exactly the same?
-<br>I bring this up to stir conversation, let people keep it in mind, and provide feedback on how this works out.
