About The "Others" Section

[Flashlight237]

You know how we have an "Others" section in every profile? I think it should be renamed "Notable Matchups". I say that because... Well, that's all it seems to be used for. The "Others" name implies that there are other, miscellaneous things that can be applied to profiles, but I don't think that's ever been used in practice. I have asked about the topic before and gotten no explanation for it: https://vsbattles.com/threads/others-section-in-character-profiles.140217/

So yeah, I think, unless there is some miscellaneous stuff that could go in profiles, I think it's best to just rename the "Others" section as "Notable Matchups."

 

[IdiosyncraticLawyer]

I support this. Changing it would be quite simple with a script.

 

[Antvasima]

I also agree with this, if it can be safely handled with a mass-editing script, but wouldn't calling it "Matchup Results" or something similar, instead be preferable?

Also, the following instruction page and its top example image would also need to be updated along with our manually selected predetermined standard layout option when creating new wiki pages.

Standard Format for Character Profiles

When there are multiple versions of a character that are distinct enough to be split into several profiles, whether it is due to the length and complexity of the page or versions from different mediums, then the multiple pages that are created as a result of this have to be linked by a tabber...

Eh. Same context, different wording. I wouldn't mind.

 

[Psychomaster35]

I'm up for Antvasima's suggestion.

 

[Celestial_Pegasus]

I agree with this.

 

[KLOL506]

Ant's suggestion is much more preferable IMHO.

 

[CloverDragon03]

Ant's suggestion makes sense to me

What do you think about this?

 

[Propellus]

This should be fine

 

[AbaddonTheDisappointment]

Seems fine to me

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

This is fine.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Antvasima's suggestion looks good.

 

[Aguywhodoesthings]

No problems with this, i don't really have an opinion on what wording we should go with tho

 

[Mr. Bambu]

As already said: with bots, good idea, I agree. Mostly ambivalent about what terminology to use, both are fine (as would any number of similar phrases be).

 

[DarkGrath]

I support this. I prefer 'Notable Matchups', because it ties in with the phrasing of 'Notable Victories/Losses' in a way that looks natural. However, I'd support the change either way.

 

[QrowBarr]

I agree with this

 

[SamanPatou]

I agree too.

 

[JustSomeWeirdo]

This is fine

 

[Jasonsith]

Sorry for speaking late.

I do agree the general direction of making records of notable matchups more intuitively understood.

I would see if anyone is on the suggestion for:
Leave "Others" as is, but add a "Notable Matchups" section for matchup records.

 

[Damage3245]

This is fine with me. Seems best to change it to "Notable Matchups".

 

[Crabwhale]

Sure, seems self-explanatory enough.

 

[Dalesean027]

Yeah notable match ups works

 

[Flashlight237]

Seems people leaned more towards my naming idea as the thread went on. Neat.

 

[LordTracer]

I agree with the change, and I prefer the wording of “Notable Matchups”.

 

[Therefir]

"Notable Matchups" does sound and look better than Matchup Results to me, and it goes in line with "Notable Victories" and "Notable Losses", so I prefer that wording.

 

[Flashlight237]

Well, time to make a tally here.

"Notable Matchups": Flashlight237, Darkgrath, Damage3245, LordTracer, Therefir, Colonel Krukov (6)
"Matchup Results": Antvasima, Psychomaster35, KLOL506, DarkDragonMedeus (4)
Could go either way: Aguywhodoesthings, Mr. Bambu, CloverDragon03, LordGriffin1000, Crazylatin77 (5)

 

[CloverDragon03]

I’m pretty ambivalent to either phrasing, honestly

 

[Flashlight237]

Fair.

 

[LordGriffin1000]

Either one works for me.

 

[Antvasima]

I support this. I prefer 'Notable Matchups', because it ties in with the phrasing of 'Notable Victories/Losses' in a way that looks natural. However, I'd support the change either way.

I think that is a good point. Let's see how the discussion here continues regarding the two name suggestions.

 

[Crazylatin77]

Either one is fine

 

[Colonel_Krukov]

Noteable Matches/Matchups works for me

 

[Mr. Bambu]

I didn't want to debate on a fine detail like name if it wasn't too important, you may put me as more favorable of Notable Matchups.

 

[Flashlight237]

Honestly, me either. I just wanted to let democracy do its thing.

 

[GarrixianXD]

Ok

 

[Elizhaa]

Either name works for me.

 

[Firestorm808]

I have no issues with the proposal.

Matchup Results is also fine.

 

[Antvasima]

I think that we can call it "Notable Matchups" or "Notable Matchup Results" in that case. DarkGrath's points made sense to me.

However, it needs to be handled in a very safe manner via a mass-editing script via Bot.

@AKM sama @Elizhaa @Just_a_Random_Butler @Catzlaflame

Are any of you willing to handle it please?

We need to discuss how to safely and accurately set up the Bot script settings for this project via a private discussion thread, and also discuss if any other administrators or content moderators have sufficient skills, sense of responsibility, and levelheaded awareness to handle a mass-editing Bot account without potentially causing any harm to our wiki.

script should be very straightforward tbh; yea I’ll help with this, feel free to create that GC.
