    Comma Issues: Black Hole Feats in Fiction

    There appears to be pretty significant grammatical issues in this article regarding comma usage. For example, the first introductory sentence of the article reads: “When it comes to the topic of black holes there are a lot of common misconceptions about their nature and through that also...

    How to Train your Sandbox

    How do I turn a sandbox user blog profile into a full wiki page once it's approved for releasing? I heard that creating an entirely new page is something you can just do yourself outside of some exceptions like tier 1 and 0 profiles, so presumably this isn't something only a moderator can do...

    Proposal to Disallow the Use of Google Docs/Drive and Similar Services for Scans and Evidence Hosting

    Hello, Butler here. It seems there isn't currently a written rule regarding this, maybe it was deleted (I don't know), but as of now, nothing of the sort exists. So, let us make one. Due to privacy and reliability concerns, I suggest that private cloud services like Google Drive or Docs be...

    Controversial Powers on New Pages - Editing Rules Tweak

    From our Editing Rules The first word here seems out of place to me; why would we limit what is on blogs, rather than what is on profiles? To make more sense, I think that the wording should be tweaked to But that makes me wonder whether we want that as a rule, given this rule immediately...

    Requiring CRTs for More New Profiles & Enshrining New Page Deletions

    Ant has expressed concerns about it being difficult for the relatively few staff members that keep a watch on new pages to evaluate the more complicated higher tiers of our system. Finite tiers can be linked to calculations which have to be accepted by CGMs, but High 3-A and up lack this basis...

    Should Edited MTL Be Allowed?

    Big CRTs and Bad Pages - A Different Way

    It seems like recently, we've approved the deletion of verses when they have outdated profiles which require massive CRTs to revise. In the past, we never did this, but we also never wrote rules about it. I think there's a better way to deal with the concern of the profiles being a bad...

    Page Naming

Do characters with two independent Multiple Selves need to have both names...

    Shree Krishna having profiles here seems extremely distasteful to the Hinduism religion

    I'm just gonna be blunt, Shree Krishna is the most blatant example of a religion profile out there and only feels like it was added here for filler for the new Tier 0. Boiling down what Shree Krishna teaches to "lol he solos Goku and all of fiction" is profoundly disrespectful for what the show...

While it uses characters from Hindu mythology, it also adapts many stories directly from Hindu scriptures, making it feel more like a collection of tales than just independent stories. The...

    Fan art for characters with no official appearance

    Hello. I have been told that our rules currently do not sufficiently well define that fan art, whether drawn or A.I-generated, that depicts book characters with no officially displayed appearance, i.e. that is based on guesswork, should not be used. I think that we talked about this in an...

    I noticed that “Varies” ratings don’t have specific standards for them listed in any of our Wiki Rules (or none that I could find), and Variable Tiers don’t even have so much as a passing mention on the Tiering System page. The lack of defined standards has caused Variable Tiers to be...

    Infinite Power Statements - Editing Rules Revision
