In fact, The bundled styles were chosen because they were already very popular on Xtras. This guarantees that many users will have duplicate/conflicting message styles the first time a style on Xtras is bundled. I *do* think it would be beneficial to do a bit more checking of message styles before they are approved. A message style has to have a unique name set in three different places, and It's not that unusual for someone who mods an existing style to fail to "fix" one of more of the three places. I only recently added this to the wiki, so maybe it will improve. However, I'm guessing that implementing a check for this would require an overhaul of Xtras, and I'm not expecting that to happen anytime soon. -- Matthew
