All-purpose request thread (New forum)

I don't mind whatever conclusion is given so long we specify in the end if giving a key section to a page with a single key in the first place is fine.
And even then this would grant a site-wide revision if we say "yes" to this, for the sake of consistency and all.
Why? That's a whole lotta work for something so minor.
 
So we should make pages now have a section arbitrarily that was intended for something be clarified be uselessly added to pages just out of preference? I even outlined how it goes against standards, plural is used and it's clearly meant to clarify multiple tier segments of a character, not to just give a fancy name to a character's single tier.

And yes, it's a ton of work for something useless, so I extremely support just removing the key section of that page, it can just be readded once there's two or more key sections to index in the first place.
 
This doesn't need a site wide revision even if allowed considering it doesn't go against any standard. You are the only one blowing this out of proportion. Just because one page has it =/= every file has to follow.
 
You keep reiterating it not breaking any standard yet I also have already showed you how it does break a standard currently, edit the page to specify that it can also be added to a page with a single key out of your preference (Even if useless and redundant) and then it would be fine.
It would also be a good idea to just see what other users think as it seems we can't get each other to agree.

Your argument on it being plural doesn't mean it defies standards. Listing the shit in plural is literally just how English works. Not once does it say that Cloud's file is against standards. It simply gives the general use and that when you have multiple keys, it's required. That plural doesn't prove what you think it proves. At the end of the day, it is up to the person making the profile. Nothing needs to be changed. Once again, you are overflowing something like this for no reason and are trying to nitpick details to make your point more justified.

Nah, if we want to get there, the issue is that the key involved isn't a transformation/power-up/timeline thing to begin with, it's just the base key and nothing more, in fact, if it's so minor as you say (And redundantly useless as said before, which you haven't opposed), why don't you just remove it and call it a day? That argument of relevancy goes both ways.
I'd edit it, but I'd like some confirmation first on either side to not be labeled as vandalism or something like that.

And before somebody claims that it's so small to be an issue, there's still the aspect of this being unprofessional and making the page look worse for visitors, which is counterproductive, and thus would be beneficial to just remove the key section of that page.

Following this CRT, could it be possible to have a bot change every single instance of the Suda51 category to a category called "Kill The Past"? That category is already on every single page of the verse I'm in the process of fusing, so changing it would remove a now redundant category for a verse one.

If it's not possible I could probably do it with enough patience but it would take a lot.

You just want the category to be renamed and reflected on every profile it is already added on, right?

Can someone move it the the Fun and games board in Vs Battle?
I moved it.
 
I am afraid that I agree with Bobsican about that we should not use single statistics keys at the bottom of profile pages, for the sake of consistency. This has been a self-evident unspoken rule so far, but I suppose we can write it down somewhere if necessary. My apologies Dragonmasterxyz.
 
Can a staff member please move this to the Content Revision board, then close it? It's in the wrong board and there's no way this is getting a pass as is
I handled the closing. Somebody else already moved it.
 
Yes, I want every character's "Suda51" category to be a "Kill The Past" category
Would you be willing to handle it AKM? I have a lot of forum work to do right now.
 
Also, should the new "Kill The Past" category still be a sub-category of "Companies" or not?
 
Weren't company categories supposed to be removed entirely from all profiles?
I remember reading about that in the past, and I've been removing them upon encountering them.

This has never been a self evident unspoken rule. There has never been any rule regarding it. Reason being because it existing does not harm anything in anyway. I put the key there for the fact that said character will get keys in the future. Only reason this is an issue is because Bob decided to make such a small disagreement public when no one gave a shit and he wasn't getting his way on the FF discord. But go ahead, remove it if you want.

This is such a complete bullshit excuse for making this public. The profile is not unprofessional I'm anyway, simply adding a key doesn't take away and professionalism from the profile. The page wouldn't look worse as it objectively looks like other profiles. You are making a mountain out of a mole hill. And blowing this simple key out of proportion. I doubt any new member searching this site will see a key on Cloud's page and say "Oh my, how unprofessional. Get out of here. But whatever do what you want. I made my stance clear.
 
Anyway, alongside the Kill The Past thing I would like to ask for a bunch of redirects, since a lot of pages have more than one possible name. Apologies if this is a lot. Just so I'm clear I'm asking the names without a link redirect to the ones with a link, not the opposite

They are supposed to be completely removed from character profile pages and only remain for verse categories and verse pages, yes.

I asked Promestein to handle it some months ago, but she has been too busy IRL so far.

That is too much work for me to handle on top of everything else. My apologies.
 
I have done so:


However, I am not sure if it is properly organised. Is "Kill The Past" the name of a company or a verse?
Quoting from the page itself:

Kill The Past is a term used to indicate a series of games written by Japanese game designer, writer and director Goichi Suda, better known by his alias of Suda51 and most known for games like No More Heroes or Killer7.
[...]
This universe has sometimes also been referred to as "Sudaverse" or "Grasshopperverse".

Well, the problem is that it risks to turn into a precedent that starts to spread significantly in the long run, so it is more practical to remove it from the start.

Just to clarify, this is in no way meant to be a slight towards yourself. It is just about my standard housekeeping.

Okay. That sounds like a head category for other verses, so for organisation purposes it is likely inappropriate for character profile pages to feature the category, unless they are a part of the same continuity.
 
Since Dragonmasterxyz seems to have accepted it, I removed the Cloud Strife key at the bottom of his page.

There is no such risk. And even if people started doing it, what issue does it cause? Nothing. It doesn't effect the structure or information given on the profile. It's just a damn key. This profile has been up for 3 months and this apparent issue is non-existent. But of course, everything is something that can possibly cause an issue in the long run, even something as insignificant as a key because this site can't possibly function if people start putting keys on profiles. Even if going by the long run, said profile would have more keys. But whatever, I've said my thoughts on this subject.
 
Okay. I apologise if I have caused offence. It is mainly just a consistency issue, not a big deal in either direction.

As I've said, it causes pages to have a uselessly redundant section for no reason, which makes us less appealing for visitors, anyone that can read our pages in the first place won't feel comfortable at something of this nature unless they simply ignore it, and the act of ignoring it can be said for about any issue on a page, so that's not a point either.

That being said, there's no point on arguing it further.

Show me multiple visitors saying this, otherwise you are talking out of your ass in order to justify your point. Also, other issues being "ignored" doesn't make my point any less existent. It's a key. It harms nothing visually. It's just you making a big deal out of it because you don't like it and you weren't getting your way on the Discord server as everyone else told you it was a non-issue. Do not even start with me Bob.
 
Well, if it is very important for you to keep the key, I suppose that we can restore it if you wish. It doesn't seem like a very big deal either way after all.
