Wait, is this like needed immediately? I don't have anyone in mind currently, but I think I can try looking for one.Okay. No problem. Thank you for your reply.
@Dereck03 @Just_a_Random_Butler
Are there any other content moderators or administrators that you think are sufficiently highly experienced, meticulous, hardworking, and responsible to be able to properly handle a Bot account?

Just a note that @Just_a_Random_Butler and @Dereck03 have now received Bot account rights, so maybe they can help out with this task later?

Well, we have to handle the Gfycat links revision first, and we also have the Discord links revision to handle, as well as an upcoming requirement from Fandom to clean up a list of our around 2000 dead links in our wiki in order to receive prioritised search engine optimisation.

It seems that we might have to delay this. No, not "might", we actually "have" to delay this, as a lot of high-priority tasks have suddenly emerged.
Also, I currently have a lot of wiki projects on my plate, and unfortunately, the Gfycat issue isn't making it better.

I don't disagree with that, but yeah, we have a lot of things to do.

I think that my most recent view regarding thiss topic is to just merge all of the "Supporters", "Neutral", and "Opponents" sections into a single "Knowledgeable Members" section, or at least the first two sections, and remove the listed members who are inactive in our forum at the same time, but I would appreciate further input from @Promestein and other very sensible members.

Should I create a complete different staff thread regarding this? (or a wiki management thread)
- 18,393
- 14,311
Unsure; my only argument is that this thread is three pages and this task is preferably to be in a new one, so staff members are not required to read three pages, again it can be anyone, you or anyone else.

That would effectively mean removing the Knowledgeable Members (Verses) page, as LordTracer implied, as the page would become redundant with your proposal.
And AFAIK, the first option is currently considered more feasible.

We are making it complicated for no significant reason: (here are three options)
- We can remove the entire section (which leaves the VKM at hand)
- Alternatively, we can convert it to VKM which would still require removing the original page.
- Lastly, we can choose to keep it as it is. There have been no complaints for years, and while it may seem arbitrary, there is no evidence to suggest that it is misleading in any way.

Definitely in favor of Option 2. Better to put the knowledgeable members on their individual verse pages as opposed to one giant amalgamation page that’s out of the way.

If you're going to keep a running tally, I'd bold Tracer and I, as well as any other evaluating staff, just so's it's easier to pick out the actual current number. I don't think this will be a controversial decision after three pages of discussion, but it's best to make it easier in case it does become a problem.

Well, we first need to merge all of the information in our knowledgeable members list for verses into our verse pages in that case. Basically, we would add to the existing lists rather than entirely replace them.
- 32,811
- 38,012
The first sentence is confusing to me at first glance.
Converting the Supporters/Opponents/Neutral section to Knowledgeable Members means you just basically replace it by copy-pasting the names from the VKM page into the verse page. Should be pretty easy.
- 165,218

Well, I was thinking of merging together the listed usernames in each corresponding verse page and knowledgeable members list section in order to avoid not knowing which members to contact for helping out in content revision threads for most of our verses.
- 32,811
- 38,012
Hmmmmmmmm, can you show me an example of what this would look like?
- 18,393
- 14,311
To simplify; he meant to add all usernames from the knowledgeable members (verses) page to the section with other existing names
In math:
Names from KMV + existing names in the section (Supporters/Opponents/Neutral) = Knowledgeable members in said verse
- 18,393
- 14,311
But regardless;
even if we implement that; we still require deleting the list page; since it will be unnecessary and redundant. So I think @Antvasima is leaning to option 2 based on my understanding on his request/opinion.
- 30,086
- 31,386
Still prefer option 3; because I still see no need to fix something that isn't broken. But otherwise option 2 wouldn't hurt too much. But not every single verse I added myself as supporter or opponent are verses I consider myself fully "Knowledgeable" on. But that would be accounted for later if Option 2 is decided.

Also, ; we do actually require if possibly the entire staff team and specially content moderators attention; this one is a wide revision that effects each verse profile in the wiki which are currently 1,522.
@KLOL506 Would you like doing that?
I will keep updating the staff vote tally list every time

Simply voting (Mass-ping); this thread will affect more than 1500 pages, so it still feels that everyone should at least voice their opinion (at least from staff team).

Well; butler's opinion is important. I think content moderator should have right to vote as well (since largely this is one of their daily duty)
