This feels really hard to read. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 21:50, 3 August 2022 (EDT)
- I actually find it easier to read than the previous version. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 00:44, 4 August 2022 (EDT)
- The previous version was like two sentences and three bullet points. Now it looks like a giant block of awkwardly-written text with slashes in the middle of sentences. The feels like a perfect example of sacrificing readability for The Joke. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 13:13, 4 August 2022 (EDT)
- Agree to disagree. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 13:25, 4 August 2022 (EDT)
- This is exactly what I was annoyed about on the main Wheelie talk page; us brushing off the concerns of other editors and readers in order to preserve a joke. I don't thing "agree to disagree" is the right response for this sort of situation. Escargon (talk) 13:27, 4 August 2022 (EDT)
- Aside from that excellent point, this is also getting into the area of "can we please hold off on yet another ______ joke?". --Khajidha (talk) 13:47, 4 August 2022 (EDT)
- The existence of a second rhyming Wheelie page after this wiki had already been noted for the first one seems to edge uncomfortably close to "the SG authors were trying to game our system." Since it's Shattered Glass, maybe the really funny joke would be to not rhyme. And, uh, be much easier to read. --Thylacine 2000 (talk) 15:50, 4 August 2022 (EDT)
- Yeah, he's from the Opposite-Day Universe. Even if he spoke in poetry, we should write him in prose. --Thylacine 2000 (talk) 15:52, 4 August 2022 (EDT)

I see nothing wrong with the page overhaul. If SG Wheelie speaks like this, better a revamp than no rhyme at all. McBaggins (talk) 16:08, 4 August 2022 (EDT)
- Hard disagree, there. The way it's currently written awkwardly breaks up sentences across multiple lines, with slashes in the middle of everything that force the reader out of what they're reading (including in the reference text, which isn't even written in verse). This is a page that takes *effort* to read, and that's not conducive to conveying information. I swear, I read the Notes section three times and barely understood what it was trying to say. The previous version was split into three bullet points and formatted like normal sentences, so that even if you ignore the rhymes it still reads just fine and was much more clear, to boot. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 16:30, 4 August 2022 (EDT)
