In your recent edits, I've noticed you're focusing on changing "based off" to "based on". However, if that's all you're going to change on a page, it may be better if you don't touch it at all. There really isn't an appreciable difference between "based off" and "based on", so there's not really a reason to go out of the way to make such edits.

::It is not grammatically incorrect. At worst, it is uncommon. Let me put it this way, though: it would ease my mind very much if you would ask someone on staff about whether it's really worth changing. Thanks.
