Would I be allowed to make a profile over RackaRacka's portrayal of Ronald McDonald? It follows its own universe and their portrayal is very different from the company's namesake.

Would a Ronald McDonald (RackaRacka) Profile be Allowed?

I'm not sure we allow RackaRacka, there have been case by case rules regarding YouTube series and there are plenty of cameos. But we didn't allow Smosh profiles for similar reasons.

What were the reasons they weren't allowed if you remember?

I agree with this satement, it seems more like something that belongs on FC/OC, due to it being a parody/fanmade version of a licenced character

He's already there
Ronald McDonald (RackaRacka)
Ronald is the psychotic, murderous, hot-tempered, cruel, two-faced, violent, pedophile, aggressive, caring, good-hearted, evil, mean and psychopathic clown mascot and manager of the McDonald's fast food restaurant chain who can't handle any form of criticism and hates restaurants other than...

We already have multiple characters on the wiki who are licensed characters. They just differ from/have there own narrative to distinguish them as separate entities. In this case Ronald in the Youtube series is depicted as a murderous psychopath dead set on making everyone eat McDonalds.
I did not know this site existed. This will make creating the page a lot easierHe's already there

If it's an official parody like Kool-Aid Man in Family Guy, then I think it would get a pass. But seeing as how this is RackaRacka, who I don't think is a brand channel, I doubt the wiki would be too happy about it.
Personally, I think you're better off looking into the officially-licensed Ronald McDonald VHS cartoons made by Klasky Csupo if you want Ronald McDonald to be a thing on the wiki. The real deal actually appears on the live-action segments of that cartoon series, so you're getting the truest incarnation of Ronald McDonald out of the cartoons.

Except half of those characters you linked are actually pieces of official work and not fan work. On SCP's part, I have no idea how that even works for them

The thing is, most of those guys are either licenced characters by their companies or are parodies from licenced media, like the Family Guy Kool-Aid Man. The only exception is the SCP, but SCP gets a lot of exceptions from this wiki
RackaRacka is just a Youtube channel that makes fanmade gory parodies of things, not an actual licenced IP or anything

That still leaves Family Guy and SCP then.
Question barrage heads up! So a parody character has to be licensed in order to be applicable? What does that even mean if so? If SCP can get away with it then does that mean it has a chance of being allowed in VSBW? How would I go about creating/updating the page in that wiki that was linked, are their rules similar to here? And finally would I be able to make VS matches with that other wiki here?

I'm pretty sure SCP is also a brand at this point, but that's just guesswork on my part.

Yes. To be on Vs Battles Wiki it typically has to be a licenced brand of some sorts unless you're something like SCP or the Vita Carnis series, which are kind of loopholes. But that doesn't mean that any unlicenced properties can just be put on Vs Battles Wiki.
For example, I have a book series that I write myself. But because I don't own a brand or copyright for that material, I can't just put it on VS Battles Wiki. It would count as OCs and I have to put it on FC/OC Vs Battles Wiki. Because this version of Ronald McDonald falls more in line with a fan-version of the character, being made by people who don't actually own any McDonalds IP and are just making a parody version of him on Youtube, he would be counted as an FC and put on FC/OC VS Battles Wiki or Jokes Battles Wiki (like he already is) due to being a more "comedic" character (if you want to call RackaRacka's content that)
Not really. As stated earlier, SCP gets a lot of acceptions made for it. Even if we wanted to remove the SCP universe, not only do they have a massive amount of supporters on the site and removing it would inevitably make many people upset and have a massive amount of backlash, but it's debatebly one of the most popular series ever in powerscaling, up there with Marvel, DC, Dragon Ball, Naruto, ect. Removing that verse would be like removing one of the previously mentioned verses. It's that popular with powerscalers. RackaRacka will likely not have even close to that level of support from the wiki.
Even in just this thead, a majority of people contributing don't believe it belongs on VS Battles Wiki, and chances are most major staff won't allow it either.
I'm not a member of Jokes Battles Wiki, so I couldn't tell you. It would probably be better to ask this question there.
