Pet Peeve about Pre-patch Updating

Every time GGG releases notes for upcoming changes, people start updating the wiki before they've been implemented. Now I understand that people want to have the most up-to-date information, and there is something to be said of preparedness. But honestly, this behavior needs to stop. Even if it'll be accurate later, it's not accurate yet. Pages should really only be updated once the changes have actually been happened.

I think this is better than the alternatives. When is it better to be accurate? During the down time or at launch when player numbers are peaking? When do you enjoy editing? I know I don't edit as much at the start of the leagues. So the time it takes to update will probably be about the same even though there may be some new and returning editors. --Illviljan (talk) 07:55, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
Editing things too soon is a problem, but the launch is just 2 days away, I think that is well within an acceptable time frame. As Illiviljan said, people would probably rather play the game over updating the wiki and it gets most exposure on the release. Only thing people waste time on are stuff I'll be able to update with bots though --OmegaK2 (t|c) 08:10, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
