I made like two edits for badges and immediatley reversed them. (I was just testing the Wikia software, and if I knew I couldn't delete posts I wouldn't have made them.) I would never make any effort to worsen the wiki in order to get a badge--now that I have a better idea of Wikia's workings I'm not interested in them anyway. If you prefer the title "The Avengers" I will change every instance of "Marvel's The Avengers" back to that title, and add the official title as well as any alternative titles onto its page. (Perhaps the same some other alternative movie titles with other movies, if they exist.) Here is a list of corrective edits you've made which I don't understand, and I will hold off on reverting until you explain your reasoning:

- First and foremost, the media list on the front page (currently absent). Previously only the feature films were listed, tucked away into a list inconveniently organized by mini-series in the bottom right corner. It was my idea that upon clicking on the wiki, a passerby would immediately be brought face-to-face with a full list of canon works to explore (if not non-canon), making the site at large much more accessible and easy to navigate. If this is unacceptable I would urge you to allow me a sentence on the main wiki briefly listing the canon works in the universe ("six feature films, two short films and six comic series").

- You've marked a number of my list pages for deletion. Each of these has its own use, and it seems wasteful just to dispose of them. "Feature films" is a slick quick-access bar for the details of each major film and (once I get to it) how each's rights were acquired by Marvel. "Canon-inspired comics" lists as nowhere else on the Internet does every comic inspired by the MCU in order of release (some people are interested in all of these, trust me). "Comics inspired by canon", then, is the logical third category: though it has only one comic so far, it's important to make clear that it's the only one of its kind. "Comics" I created to match the layout I made for the front page and is probably the least useful, but I'm sure there are people out there looking for every MCU-related comic in order of release; plus I spent like eight hours on that page. Finally, "Other" has every MCU-related publication that doesn't fit into any other category--it's a rare collector who wants all of these, but some do exist, and without the page the media list wouldn't be complete; it was a massive undertaking, but I'm happy to know it's now the only list of its kind to be found anywhere. Please reconsider taking these pages down.

- You've also marked "Arc reactor" for deletion and have set "Marvel's the Avengers Prelude: Fury's Big Week" to redirect to "Fury's Big Week". While I understand somewhat your desire to use the less clumsy and more popular "The Avengers" over "Marvel's The Avengers", FBW is not going to get so much traffic, and only hardcore fans are going to come looking for it. Since I had set "Fury's Big Week" to redirect to "Marvel's the Avengers Prelude: Fury's Big Week" anyway, I don't see the issue. Meanwhile, "arc reactor" is correct, not "Arc Reactor", so your decision to delete the former and keep the latter is puzzling.

- You deleted my allusion to the tenth MCU movie in the Captain America 2 page. It seemed like the best place to put it; users flipping through the movies would reach a dead end at Captain America 2 and see the new one is planned. If the point is that you don't believe such a movie exists, I assure you that several news sites have reported on it; I'm not going to mess with Wikia any more, so I won't attempt to post a link, but it can be easily Googled.

I hope I don't come across as antagonistic; my primary goal, too, is to improve the wiki. But as you seem to have seniority, I will bow down to any changes you decide to keep. Please let me know if there's anything else I should specifically not be doing.
