Done.

Uh, why are the citation links bugging out?: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Megalania

You linked a lot of non-existent internal links to the citations.

Hey, I was pasting all the citations exactly how I copied them.

I suppose you copied down the citations from another Wiki?

No. Some of them are from wikipedia and one (Reference 6) is direct from the sourced article.

Give me those sources and I can probably fix it for you.

Aight. Some of these articles don't exactly have links, but I'll provide the citations here.

There's an ISBN thing in there, Fandom should have a feature that indicates ISBN links as shown in the article we have on Emus: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Emu

The Aura ability page uses the "himself" pronoun to describe the target of the ability in the "Rage-inducing" section, even while the other sections avoid such inaccurate wording. I think, in my humble opinion, that the "themself" is more accurate for describing an ability being used on a target unless there is a unique reason to use the "him" pronoun, which is not the case here.

Ben 10 discussion rule against using naljians statement to upgrade cosmology to 1-B should be removed since recently a thread related to it just passed and it went 1-B.

Do not attempt to upgrade the cosmology or the cast to 1-B based on the statements from the Naljians or about their toy. First, although one told Ben, "[There are] [o]nly 26 [dimensions] that matter," this statement is insufficient to scale them to such a level. They only have one mention in the entire series, and the mere mention of dimensions doesn't automatically meet the criteria for qualitative superiority. Second, even though Kevin claimed the Naljian toy was more advanced than the Omnitrix, it failed to accurately copy Gwen Tennyson's energy disks when it replicated her form, replacing them with pink disks. It would be unreasonable to assume it can copy the powers of Celestialsapiens when it couldn't accurately replicate those of an infinitesimally weaker species.

 

[Antvasima]

I have removed it from our Discussion Rules.

Hello, Mr. Bambu directed me to come here for help with redoing my profile for the Flatwoods Monster from the horror film, Abominable. I can provide a link to the film, but Bambu said that calculations would be needed for anything above 10_B. I am not entirely certain how to do this. I will note that it's a horror sasquatch film, and the monster is directly stated to be larger than a bear.

See the film here. Not sure how to do timestamps on a tablet, so this may require you guys to move the video to certain points.

 

[Reiner04]

These 2 Ben 10 discussion rules needs to be applied in the discussion rule page as per this CRT.

Ben 10 Rules:​

• Do not attempt to downgrade Alien X from any argument pertaining to Atomic X or Osmosians. We have dealt with such arguments many times over and over. Due to biological and DNA alteration, a very basic structure of a being, alteration of which, even if by a small percentage, can have vast differences, we cannot assume any scaling of powers and abilities between Atomic X and the parent DNA. Take, for example, Gwen and Ben. Both are a hybrid of Anodite and human, yet they do not automatically scale to regular Anodites. Pierce Wheels, despite being a hybrid of human and Argit DNA, doesn't have paralyzing venom in his sharp quills, unlike Argit. Another example would be the hybrid BigChuck. Despite being a Tokustar and Upchuck fusion, he was brought down by a few of Eon's human-sized minions two times when purebred Tokustars themselves could take on an entire army at any day and time.
• Do not attempt to create threads claiming Alien X is only the most powerful in hax abilities and not attack potency. While them being omnipotent can be argued to only apply toward a “high level of reality warping” abilities, it ends up being a semantics debate. It's highly unlikely that they're the most powerful only because they have absolute control over reality, considering that there is a warrior class of Celestialsapiens who rely on their physical might rather than hax. Even Professor Paradox is capable of such things, and this extends to being capable of destroying it all. This was never called or treated at the same level as a Celestialsapien's omnipotence. Incase if further clarification is needed, read here or here.

Yeah uh... check his Feats section and check the "Sealed Eternity" scan. The scan should simply be uploaded to the wiki directly instead.

@Catzlaflame said he'll do it after 3 hrs since he's on mobile rn.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. That is good then.

 

[Catzlaflame]

Got on PC a bit earlier than I thought I'd be able to, so I went ahead and handled it, however, it seems one of your links is dead @Reiner04 the first one about the "very basic structure of being"

As current and former content moderators, are you willing to regularly help out here please?

Yea, I'll do so. Could for sure use some help though, especially in the All-Purpose thread.

Thankyou and uh sorry about that i didn't notice... Can you replace that with this link?

I'd like this page to be unlocked and the SSJ2 multiplier example removed: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Multipliers

The bad multiplier example used has now been approved in this thread: https://vsbattles.com/threads/the-much-needed-super-saiyan-multiplier-revision.166075/
Meaning it now does not fit as an example of a disallowed multiplier

I'd also like to ask a suggestion on how to replace the example. Shall I make it ambiguous?

@Agnaa @Mr._Bambu @DarkGrath @Qawsedf234 @Catzlaflame @IdiosyncraticLawyer

Do you have any suggestions regarding what we should do here?

 

[Mr. Bambu]

I haven't got any verse that comes to mind that deals in multipliers like that flippantly. I will note that Maverick already just removed the multiplier from the page, which seems to be a very simple solution if the page can operate fine without it.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you for the information.

There seems to be a new example added there now as well.
