About The "Others" Section

Status
Not open for further replies.
Okay. I will set up a private discussion thread in a while.

Should we call the former "Others" section "Notable Matchups" or "Notable Matchup Results"?

Also, is somebody here willing and able to modify the instruction example image at the top of the following page?

vsbattles.fandom.com

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...

The former is what people seem to have agreed with; I have made the edits to the standard format page barring the image which I believe is usually handled by @MonkeyOfLife

Do I start applying?

Something like this right..? (Fixed image tabber also)

Minor complaint, but I think we should also shorten to just Victories, Losses and Inconclusive so it’s less redundant

Thank you greatly to both of you. 🙏❤️🙂

Do you know how to safely apply such a massive change to all our wiki pages with the "Characters" category, without input from other knowledgeable members, Catzlaflame?

Also updating the sub-sections to the following format makes sense to me, yes. Thank you for pointing it out. 🙏❤️

==Notable Matchups==
'''Victories:'''

'''Losses:'''

'''Inconclusive:'''
 
We also need to update our standard layout page that is preloaded when our members want to add new pages to our wiki:

vsbattles.fandom.com

Createpage-with-video

vsbattles.fandom.com vsbattles.fandom.com

Yea, this part is actually super easy. I wouldn’t even need to write regex since the “==“ is wikitext, and leaves no room for accidentally pinging every instance of the words “notable” and “matchups” for example. It being a header, makes it really straightforward.

Now Crazylatin’s suggestion is trickier. Very much doable, but doesn’t have the same inherent safeguard as the original suggestion.

Well, you can discuss the best setup with other knowledgeable staff members in private if you wish.
 
I think so, yes. Thank you. 🙏❤️🙂
 
@MonkeyOfLife I just noticed that the picture needs another change because it's technically breaking our rules. File:Avacyn_1.png shouldn't have an underscore.
 
Yes, thanks a lot to MonkeyOfLife for being so dependable, and to you as well of course, Catzlaflame. 🙏🙂❤️

Did the AWB mass-editing work as intended withouth any problems?

Also, aren't matchups between tier 0 characters forbidden by our rules?

Yea, if you wanna quickly swift through some random pages in the category to ease your concerns, feel free to.

They are, but those pages still follow the standard format. I chose to do tier 0 first, because it has the fewest pages.

Thank you. I trust that you have verified this previously. 🙏

Okay. That makes sense in that case. Thanks again. 🙏
 
Most pages A-G across all tiers have been cleared. At this rate, I should be able to get the whole thing done during my next PC session.

Probably not today though, cus I’m gonna be at school for the next 11 hours 😔

It is a part of the plan, yes. My apologies. 🙏

Thanks a massive lot to both of you for helping out. 🙏❤️💖

Garrixian:

If you do not have an activated Bot account, you do not have to overexert yourself regarding this task. 🙏
 
I thought this thread was concluded on a near-unanimous agreement to change "Others", with "Notable Matchups" being the preferred option. Kinda surprised it wasn't locked yet.

We're preferably waiting for Garrixian to finish the edits, so far from the comments only Tier 10 is done, seems like the bot may take some time.

I thought it went alphabetically. At least that's what my email notifications of all the pages I created/edited told me.
 
I have most of it done, just some time needed, and I’ve just been so busy with school...

For an update, my bot’s done around 21,000 pages of the 29,000 total pages.. so, again, it’s in its final stages right now.

If you want spontaneous updates, feel free to monitor my bot’s activity here, otherwise, i will mention it here when the project is done.

This project should be over 95 percent done by now for all official pages. Perhaps some pages still have the ==Others== code as the title but all of the "Notable" parts got removed.

What's the scripts you've been using?
