Wiki Audit Group: Explanation and Recruitment

[Antvasima]

There is a lot of work to do.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Hey so I forgot to link the thread here and I just noticed it posted as Undefined. Fun times. So here's the re-written Lonely Page Report Thread. Any pages found with no verse page are appreciated if you drop 'em here.

 

[Damage3245]

I would be happy to help as well, if there's still a need for volunteers.

 

[Qawsedf234]

I wouldn't mind helping out as well if the site still needs people.

 

[Ogurtsow]

I could suggest more criteria that all information must come with scans/videos, calcs, expanded feats corresponding to the abilities and explanations that go into detail the nature of the character in relation to its powers, all with proper citations in the references and everything from the standard character page format. Though I do believe at least green should be a pass.

Speaking of this: maybe we should also add something like Featured Profiles to give it for impeccable profiles so our members may look at such excellent profiles and possibly try to make their own profiles that good themselves? That might also be used for newcomers who have to learn how to make quality profiles, and they could find the best profiles far easier than now. Many other wikis do have such a thing for a while.

 

[GyroNutz]

We already have featured profiles

 

[Yobo_Blue]

^^^^

I fully support this idea. I'd rather not have profile standards dictated by those that are the most popular simply because of trends

 

[Yobo_Blue]

We already have featured profiles

Yes, but it needs a overhaul, as not only is it dictated primarily by popularity rather than exemplary design as it should be in my personal opinion, but is severely outdated.

 

[Ogurtsow]

@Gyro

You meant those ones listed on the Featured section of the navigation bar, right? They are just one of the most popular characters among everyone. My idea is closer to the following examples: [1] [2] [3] [4]

Those are also extremely helpful as well.

 

[GyroNutz]

They're also of high quality, and pages that new users are most likely to click on @Ogurtsow

 

[Yobo_Blue]

I would hardly call the Harry Potter (character) profile exemplary.

 

[GyroNutz]

It's decent and follows our editing rules well. Plus we could make an extra effort to make sure all the featured profiles are of very high quality, if they aren't already.

 

[Yobo_Blue]

Yes, but that merely makes it worth keeping. Obviously there would be a problem with it existing if it didn't follow the rules.

Regardless, this should really be its own thing.

 

[AKM sama]

That's a good idea @Ogu. While we do have the standard format for character profiles, having examples of our most systematically organized profiles would obviously help users to reach for that level.

But it's better discussed in a thread of its own.

 

[InfiniteSped]

So, when should this be starting? so I can prepare for my verses getting nuked

 

[The_Divine_Phoenix]

Reasonably soon. We are currently dividing into groups.

 

[NostalgiaTrip]

Well I'm going to unsubscribe now. No reason for me to stay around.

Blessings be upon your work.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Currently we're dividing into groups. All Auditors are in the Discord save for one who we have had to opt to move on without. Once the division of groups is done we'll begin taking verses.

 

[Makkurona]

What discord server?

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Send me an invite?

 

[Makkurona]

Me too?

 

[Agnaa]

Every accepted auditor has been invited, and all of them have joined besides Eficiente.

As said earlier, we're planning on having an eternal public invite to let any users see (but not post) in all the channels. Even though we've only been organizing groups so far and not actually auditing verses, it should be fine to do now, but I'd like to get one last confirmation before I actually post it.

 

[Agnaa]

With Bambu's blessing, here's the invite link https://discord.gg/EQFENWx

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Anyone joining through that link isn't automatically an Auditor. This link allows you to join to watch over progress if you desire and if your expertise is needed on a verse you are particularly active on we may give you rights to speak in main chat.

 

[N_Kardashev]

This campaign will never be completed as new verses will always be popping up

Now you may be on to something.

 

[DarkGrath]

Even if it's never officially completed, that doesn't undermine it's importance and utility.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Nothing ever gets completed, there is always going to be room for improvement. And we'll always work hard to improve it as long as we're all here.

 

[LSirLancelotDuLacl]

By that technicality, we should stop VSBW because we will never index all fiction and we will never finish adjusting our standards as time goes on.

 

[Jasonsith]

Just to ask: if I am too late to join in any way?

(I have built some verse and profiles myself so I think I can at least keep my profile page works clean.)

 

[Mr. Bambu]

We can consider you since we haven't fully started yet but I do think it's getting a bit close to Zero Hour to actually try to make new groups.

 

[Antvasima]

I agree that Ogurtsow likely came up with a good idea earlier.

 

[DarkGrath]

Yeah, that does seem like an excellent idea.

 

[Yobo_Blue]

I'd rather not post on the Discord #applications so I don't get in anyone's way, but I should ask, will the discord have a form of application or standard requirements later on down the line?

 

[Agnaa]

I'm fine with still taking in more applications and auditors - we can add more groups without much hassle.

 

[Yobo_Blue]

I assume requirements just haven't been worked out yet completely?

 

[Agnaa]

The requirements would probably be the same as for the current auditors - we ship the names to Ant for comment and Bambu interviews if there's any uncertainty.

Good to know.

 

[InfiniteSped]

Don't know if I can ask it there, but that "Applications" channel on the Discord keeps sending notifications even though it's empty.
