I was reviewing some of the articles that have a version history. I want to apologize, Artem S. Tashkinov for the tension created with the reverts. Now that the history is separated, it can be molded a bit more than a table. It looks like bullet lists are fine for explaining features of a certain release with a paragraph before giving some details. The best example I've seen is Firefox version history for these types of articles. – The Grid (talk) 15:07, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
How are you going to specify common DWG tags for different versions in a bullet list? What about OS compatibility? What about a changelog? Do what you want with the article - WP editors don't want the AutoCAD version history in any shape or form. I also vividly remember adding OS compatibility for most if not all AutoCAD releases and someone deleted it as well - what a nice job. I did my best to salvage it but now that you're intending to maim it even further (tables are a lot easier to read than bullet lists) I rest my case. You may as well proceed and delete it altogether. Here are some extra articles you may want to consider for deletion: Perl 5 version history, Linux kernel version history (doesn't list anything but dates, dubious at best), Qt version history - granted these are all open source projects, so they have a huge vocal crown behind them while AutoCAD is a pesky proprietary application which probably doesn't even deserve an article in WP at all for all I know. Also please consider the VMware Workstation article which also deserves its history being eradicated from WP. There are lots of similar articles actually. Please don't stop. This world is already merciless and I thought that useful knowledge could serve some people but hell no, some articles are considered better than others all in the name of WP rules as if they are written in stone and must be absolutely adhered to. Too bad some editors kinda sorta misuse them to their schadenfreude. I mean multiple users argued that they needed the AutoCAD version history right in the article but no! rules! you have no voice here! Artem S. Tashkinov (talk) 22:40, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
