Hello.
Given that my continuous work to try to take care of this community has taken up so much of my time, my to-do list for it has unfortunately continuously grown as well.
As such, I would greatly appreciate help from our staff and honorary staff with providing input regarding, organising, and taking care of the following tasks, although I also have some additional ones that have to be handled in separate threads.
My apologies for the inconvenience, but all of this unfortunately has to be handled at some point, and I am tired of constantly pushing the task in question to be handled some time in the future.
1) I will hopefully soon create a double-highlighted news and announcements forum thread about that all of our members permanently need to stop inserting any categories whatsoever into sandboxes and any inappropriate categories into blog posts, as it greatly messes up our wiki's organisation structure by spamming our category lists with completely irrelevant additions, and takes me massive amounts of time to continuously vainly try to clean up.
I will then request help from our entire community with systematically removing inappropriate categories whenever they notice this problem, but in the meantime I would greatly appreciate help from our staff and honorary staff in this regard.
Take note that it is perfectly good to always use the "Blog posts" category for any type of blog post, that the "Calculations" category should be used for calculation blogs, and that the relevant verse categories should be used for officially accepted calculation or explanation blogs, so those categories should definitely NOT be removed.
Here is a blog that uses acceptable standard categories, for example:
Completed:
2) Our Enhanced Senses page needs to have sixth sense removed, as that is already listed under Extrasensory Perception.
3) Listing invulnerability as being limited is our standard approach when it is just invulnerability to certain things, not everything. This should probably be noted in the page in question.
4) Is this a redundant category?
5) Should we change Infinite Stamina to Endless Stamina, as it has to do with time rather than size?
6) It seems very useful to add a "High Animalistic" definition to our Intelligence page for more intelligent animals, and "Instinctive" to comparatively extremely mentally simple living creatures.
7) Should this category have all character profile pages removed from it? It seems to fit better with our standard approach.
8) Should Large Size type 11 be redefined?
9) The following category, and any other officially used explanation blogs, needs to be cleaned up, so only legimately accepted explanation pages are included, and the contents of them are moved from blogs to regular wiki pages:
In progress:https://vsbattles.com/threads/explanation-pages-reorganisation-important-help-needed.139846/
10) Should we insert a description for how to insert inter-wiki links into the Standard Format for Verse Pages page?
11) I would greatly appreciate if any members who genuinely have a deep understanding of our tiering system write themselves down in our Knowledgeable Members List (Wiki Terminology) page.
12) Should we update the standard code for character image gallery links in verse pages to the one used in the One Piece verse page, as it looks good for both light and dark mode, as well as explicitly mention that this is our preferred standard? We would also need to include instructions for linking to the associated most relevant wiki(s) for each respective verse near the top of the pages.
13) We need to check through all our wiki verse pages and remove the listed members who have been inactive in our forum for more than a year, and do the same to our knowledgeable members lists.
In progress.
14) We preferably need an official rule text about always using calculations as a basis for statistics between tiers 9-A and 3-B, except for very self-evident cases of 5-B and upwards.
15) Should we change our standards (and common editing mistakes page) so we begin to use considerably more proper punctuation?
In progress:
16) The verses listed under "T" in the following page, simply due to having a "The" in the beginning, should preferably be alphabetically reorganised.
17) Should we start a project at some point to add categories for verses depending in terms of appropiateness rating? For example, a category for verses with content appropiate for minors, a category for verses with content only suitable for adults, etc.
We could also add a template so younger viewers of pages may avoid verses or content that are too inappropiate for them.
"All-ages suitable verses" and "Adults only suitable verses" perhaps?
18) If anybody here knows people who are skilled in Japanese, can you please ask them if they are willing to sign up to this forum and help us out with our translations thread here?
19) There are many verses with inconsistent naming procedures.
A few examples:
We may need to decide on a more consistent system. "(Verse)" works in general for when a character is named the same thing, but if there are several spinoff continuities, the issue turns more complicated.
20) We may need to rewrite the abstract existence definition.
"Personally, I think that the misunderstanding might come from that somebody wrote "Abstract Existence is the ability to embody an abstraction, such as a concept, thought, or an information" instead of "Abstract Existence is the ability to embody an abstraction, such as a concept or idea" in order to keep the ability easy to understand. That should probably be adjusted."
"My concern is that this will set a precedent that all spiritual beings listed in the wiki should automatically get Abstract Existence instead of Incorporeality."
