Hello, everybody. 🙏🙂❤️

As you can see, we have a new sub-forum called "Wiki Page Collaborations".


As we have stated on top of it, it is intended to be a place for our members to request volunteer help with creating specific profile pages or other collaborative wiki projects, but our other sub-forums should still be used for their intended areas, such as discussing calculations in our Calc Group Discussion sub-forum, or asking questions in our Questions and Answers sub-forum. Also, the requests there are made to our community as a whole, not to our staff members, who are already busy with other tasks.
 
Would this be where I could suggest tweaks to the standard proforma/formatting of character pages?

What do you mean more specifically? 🙏
…Oh my god! This is exactly what I dreamed of doing on the Pokemon Scan Server!!! You DO read my posts!!
No, this idea grew from that I noticed that many members in our wiki seemed to need this sort of resource. 🙏

Basically I was thinking of making a thread about splitting Power (the main ranking, not the explanations of where that power/scaling comes from) between displayed power and scaled/stated power, similar to how we distinguish speed or lifting strength. I've touched on this before in the main Death Battle thread:

No, seriously. We make distinctions for lifting and striking strength - why can't our pages make the distinction between displayed feats and scaled feats? It'd make verses like SMT feel far less outwardly wanked to high hell knowing all the 'what's perceived' statements in it's cosmology that makes mere breathing a '1-A feat', and it'd allow our debates segments more MU variety. I also know a few games like Xenogears and Scarlet Nexus that ultimately thrive on delineation between the two descriptors for more or less the above reason(s).
You're kinda missing my point here. SMT has had this problem for a while where, because of 'our cosmology', that there are major discrepancies in the feats that are applied, and the implications of those feats. Are we saying that, say, Shido's ship blowing up in Ryuji's face should never be calced because of this?

And I need to make it clear that I'm not trying to take any statements away from you, just that what is applied is equally viable. Here's how I'd format such (and I feel like I've said this before...):

Tier (applied / displayed): [Insert tier]

Tier (scaled / statements): [Insert tier]


A good example of this is discussions I've had with the likes of @JoshSSJGod and @CloverDragon03 - I cannot count how many times that N's city bust in FR got written off as a footnote for his lower tier key(s), just because the cast was going to scale to god tiers in Aionios anyway (and don't even get me started on Poppi/Ino scaling...). The thing about scaling like what we have atm is that it becomes more vindicated the later into a story or game it becomes, but to slap it on at the beginning like it's the totality of a character is ultimately just taking that power out of context.

Or would that go in CRTs in general?
 
Our new sub-forum is intended for finding volunteers to help out with creating new wiki pages and collaborative wiki projects, including for content revision research, and that is pretty much it so far.

That does not seem to be what you suggest here. 🙏
