And the sole reason I've never applied to be an updater was because I've seen what an utter mess people make of their update page. There's no rhyme or reason to half of the formats to people's update pages. It's not that hard to properly label and maintain an organized update page.
The worst thing I've done is accidentally link the wrong link when claiming something (like link to an AC which I claimed that same post because I failed to properly copy the link when tried to claim a PT or something like that.) but I never actually claimed the AC twice. It was a simple copy/paste error which the Updater realized, looked in the proper claim thread and realized I still had the right TPE amount claimed but the link was just off. Because I label all my claims easily, the updater could tell, without issue, what I intended on claiming and was able to rectify my mistake without issue.
Looking at yours, TB, you could label a bit better as to help yourself and the updater who does your team. Simply labeling it (PT) doesn't help when it could be ANY PT you're linking and has to double check the last couple weeks to see if you're linking the right one or not. instead make it say (S11 PT 1) or (S11 Trivia 1) or (S11 Week 1 Predictions), that way you can see, and they can see easily what you're claiming so this doesn't happen again. It's a few extra keystrokes that saves you and the updater plenty of time.
This ^. I accidently made a similar mistake to TB because every week I quote my own last post and change the numbers in "current attributes". I forgot to change the links for activity check and weekly training and since I had thought they were already linked they weren't done. Keeping my update page organized has really helped me out.
