Don't feel too bad. Yes, we have been changing back some of your edits, but that happens to several new wiki posters. When you're new, it can be hard to tell what needs to be changed. If you like, I can spend some time guiding you through some changes that I know need to be done. Would you like that? With a bit of practice you'll get a feel for the wiki and what it needs.

About your Shaft of the Dragon page: you probably noticed that I changed it quite a bit a few minutes ago. That doesn't mean it was bad! It was a good thing that you created the page. I modified it to use a standard "infobox" template, which has been created for showing off equipment to its best advantage. There's no easy way you could have known about the template, so I don't consider it bad that you didn't use it yourself. I also made the same template change to another equipment page.

When you say you want to change to a healer, so you have to help on the wiki, do you mean that you hope to earn gems to make the change? I'm not sure you can count on that. You'd need to earn two contributor levels, and I'm not sure how strict the standards are for them. I believe the second level might be harder to reach than the first. The wiki admins decide about levels on a case-by-case basis, so it's not something that can be easily quantified. You can buy gems for a once-off donation of $5 - enough gems to change class more than once. Is that an option for you?

Also, it's generally felt that it's nice for people to help out with HabitRPG simply for the sake of helping - to assist the developers, and the other players. Helping solely to earn gems or levels is felt to be missing the point a bit. If you can afford $5, I do recommend buying gems, and then if you like, we can work together to build you up into a great wiki editor, simply for the pleasure of doing it.

If you can't afford gems, or don't have a credit card (perhaps because you're still at school? I don't know what your situation is) then maybe you could ask a friend or relative to give you the gems as an early birthday/christmas present? They could use their credit card to buy gems on your account. Their credit card details would not be saved on the site, so it would be safe for them.

Anyway, if you want more guidance on the wiki, tell me! I have got a sense from some of the things you've posted that you'd like to be useful here for more than just the gems, so I'd be happy to help you. :)
