    When you click "Buy" on one of the Features in the ECC Shop, it says:
    "Information about this feature can be found on our wiki page here!"
    It says this on pretty much every Feature except nickname. It would be nice to see the feature description be put into that box instead of having to go to the wiki every time you want to read about a feature. It would be more user-friendly and a quicker way to read the feature description.

    Here's my concept:

    Something like this would take some time to add onto all the features, but would be great to see. It doesn't require any extra coding, just editing the text inside the boxes. I think this is necessary to add because it is very simple and straight-forward, and would make it easier for a lot of users.
    I don't see why it would be a problem to add this, since it has already been added to a few of the features. It's just a matter of doing some copy-pasting and changing some words.

    They did this in purpose so that users go to the wiki also so the wiki team have fame and also the wiki team can change it otherwise the wiki team has nothing to do and its pointless at this moment in time

    It would take Andrew a lot of time to change this and time is better spent elsewhere.

    Unless it can be done by an SA or wiki team member there's no benefit for a lot of work.

    You literally just copy and paste from the wiki onto the buy page. It'll take max 30 seconds per feature.

    +1 if anything, forcing people to unnecessarily go to a separate page to find info on stuff will only dissuade them from buying.

    The wiki and buycraft use different methods of formatting text, so to format everything so it's actually readable would take longer than that. So no, it's not just literally copying and pasting. It would actually take a decent amount of time to do.

    Not to mention you need to update 2 locations instead of 1 whenever something changes. In programming it's standard not to repeat code because otherwise it becomes exponentially harder to maintain and is prone to mistakes. The same applies to this.

    The concept that I made took me 2 minutes. It took some formatting, but it's not that hard

    It is very inconvenient to go to the wiki each time you check a feature. It was better as it was before. +1 definitely.

    This is precisely why it won't change, let alone the fact that it took several HOURS last time for andrew to re-add them
