Starting help making a verse

[DrGreyman]

I'm really sorry if this isn't the right place to put this, but I've been searching through forums and wiki pages for ages, and I still can't make heads or tails of it, so I'm just going to hope I'm not breaking some rule. Wikis are just alien to me for whatever reason.

I want to make a verse for a game, and I've read through all the articles I could find on the wiki on how to do so, but I'm still a bit confused and would appreciate some help.

First, what exactly is the threshold for a piece of media being too obscure to be added to the wiki? I've seen some extremely niche characters and verses floating around the tags, but that doesn't seem to match up with the standards I read on the Editing Rules page. I just want to make sure I'm not wasting other people's time, since I will admit that Golden Treasure: The Great Green is a very obscure game that I doubt many have heard of. However, I have found more information about it online than some of the verses I've stumbled across.

Second, I know that in order to actually make the verse, you have to create the pages in your sandbox to properly format them, then paste those pages into actual wiki pages. And you need to get the calculations approved by staff in order to add them to the verse. I'm just not sure where I put those things to get approved. Do I make a content revision thread for them? Do I just put them in one of the megathreads or ping some staff member hoping they look at them?

Third, what level of approval does everything need before it can be added to the wiki proper? If all the calculations are approved, could I just slap the verse pages up from there? Or do the pages themselves need to be approved?


I know that I should probably have found the answers to these questions somewhere, and staff probably get these sorts of questions all the time, but I really looked and I couldn't find anything answering these questions. Maybe I'm just blind. I'd ask a staff member directly, but I was once yelled at for wasting time, and I really don't want to upset staff again for any reason, so I want to be triple sure about what I'm doing before proceeding.

And hey, if this is somehow wrong to do, then at least I'll probably get someone's attention without directly bothering them.
Any and all help would be appreciated, obviously, I just hope I'm not being a nuisance.

Here's the thread for the first one (don't comment, though, since non-staff members are not allowed to comment in Staff Discussion unless given permission, if you ask for permission. It's a thread, but it does answer some of your problems if you read the thread). Second, calculations must be posted here for evaluation (don't get your hopes up. It really takes a long time for calcs to be reviewed since there's also a lot of others that go through the same problem as you. So, you gotta focus on bumping it). Lastly, I'm pretty sure you only need one approval for calcs to be approved (doesn't mean your calc is correct since they skim over it), but they can be debunked if they find a mistake on your part (they'll provide advice, don't worry), or another proposes a better one compared to yours. Also, I think you have to ask for permission first after you get the calcs and page ready in the Content Revision, before you add them.

Just a question about making Verse Pages. So I'm trying to make the a Manhwa Boy of Death page I guess "official" for the site. Had like a bunch of calc's accepted for the verse (like over 10 during the span of couple of months), then asked another supporter of the verse to make a Blog page for it. Now, I'm trying to get it kinda (?) official as I made a CRT for 3 character profile pages for it along with getting a scaling chain for the verse for it. Then I sent it to the Content Revision Promotion page. Did I do the steps properly or messed up somewhere?

Okay, so... I've been digging. There's no process for adding a verse page; you can actually add it now. But from the link I sent, those are requirements for what the verse must have, so they don't risk being deleted. From what I see in your CRT, it's fine to add the verse now in this wiki. But in the (very) likely case that I'm wrong, I advise that you ask a moderator first, just in case. You can ask them by dropping a question on their Message Wall.

Here are some mods about it from other threads when it comes to profiles or verses:

1. Twilight-OP
2. Twilight-OP (again)
3. ActuallySpaceMan42

I didn't realize I didn't answer this question. My bad. I read the question wrong.

Determination of Notability​

The notability of a work is a crucial factor in determining its eligibility for inclusion within the VS Battles Wiki. Notability can be determined by various means such as the popularity of the work among readers, the number of adaptations or spin-offs it has spawned, the impact it has had on the broader cultural landscape.

In determining the notability of a verse or personal work, the adherence of the work to the VS Battles tiering philosophies shall be taken into consideration.

• It is impractical to set hard defined viewer number limits, however, in general, preference shall be given to officially published works or at least very popular privately published standalone original works that are not fanfiction.
• The story from which the character originates must be reasonably notable or popular outside of the versus debating communities. This can be determined by various means such as the popularity of the story among readers, the number of adaptations or spin-offs it has spawned, and the impact it has had on the broader cultural landscape.
• In cases where there is ambiguity or conflicting information regarding the proximity of when the work was written and when the author claims to have interacted with powerscaling purely for battleboard purposes, such works shall not be considered for inclusion within the wiki.

The inclusion of a work shall be based on the judgement of the relevant authorities and stakeholders, and adherence to this regulation is mandatory for all contributors to the wiki, any violation may lead to appropriate actions. Notability is not limited to a specific location or region, it is determined by the fanbase and impact of the work on the broader cultural landscape. For example, a series like The Interface Series, that has a vice article about it, has a significant fanbase and discussion about it across various platforms, may be considered for inclusion, whereas a lesser-known work would not.

Looking at the game, "Golden Treasure: The Great Green," I think the game can be added just fine to this wiki. But again, ask a moderator.
