Hey guys,
This is not how we do things here.
If you want to make this drastic changes to an article you first have to discuss it in the articles discuss page.

Hi Paula, what's the problem? I took an out-of-date page and overhauled it. Right now my link to this page has hundreds of boosts on the Fediverse, so it's obviously useful. Since when do you have to ask permission to change a wiki?!

It's in the guidelines: https://joinfediverse.wiki/Join_the_Fediverse:About#Guidelines

Also the table showed prices and was ordered by price for a reason.

I would think pricing is a little volatile to be usefully shown on a wiki, but if it is to include pricing could we make it something with class wikitable sortable so that it is in fact sortable across different software columns - it would be good to rescue the effort that has been put in to this Alanbell (talk) 17:50, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Yes, that is a good idea, I'll do that right away.

Hm, for some reason it doesn't work that the table is sortable.

think it should work . . .

name	data	more data
cats	273	53
dogs	65	8,492
mice	1,649	548

I will give it a go later
