I have done so.

That is a good idea. I am very open to good suggestions in that regard.

I think that Mario is so extremely distinctive that it seems unnecessary.

Eh, there's even other pages on the site named Mario as well, it's rather easy to mix up, which is the main reason more specific titles are done on the pages to begin with.

Anyways...

In cases where a page title is too generic to be recognizable on its own, such as being a common name from a public domain character (often a notable mythological or historical figure), a common name or nickname ("Alice", "Nick"), or a name originally written in logogram (for example, Chinese names), they should have a parenthesis that clarifies the verse the character is from, or otherwise the name of the entry of the series they debuted in, among others, depending on the ruling criteria they fit. It's to be noted that the examples aren't exhaustive, and should be evaluated in a case-by-case basis.

This would go in the Editing Rules, preferably right after the current rules on naming pages.

On an unrelated note, the Mario example may become invalid as there is an ongoing CRT for Mario and separating different Mario is one of the potential options.

What do you think about this?
 
Thank you. We can probably apply it then, but let's wait for a bit more input in order to make certain first.
 
Thank you for the evaluations.

@Bobsican

Is this roughly what you had in mind?

The VS Battles Wiki presently consists of 35,645 pages, most of them listing the statistics of characters across different fictional franchises. However, there is a tremendous amount of work involved in maintaining the accuracy of statistics and upholding a high quality for the profiles. In...

Requesting for this page to be locked. It was unlocked for a revision, but that revision has been put on hold, so it should be locked again.

Elizhaa handled it.
 
Thank you to everybody who are helping out here.
 
Not sure where else to post this but.

I was trying to add a WatchFrameByFrame link to a calc blog I made and I got banned for the #5071 error, saying that it was blacklisted. Here is my report to the SOAP wiki

Even though I have used WatchFrameByFrame many times before without issue.
 
Oh, that might be a serious problem, but it seems like your account was not banned when I checked:

User contributions for KLOL506 | VS Battles Wiki | Fandom

vsbattles.fandom.com vsbattles.fandom.com

Most likely your current IP address was used by a vandal at some point, and it was a coincidence that the IP block happened in conjunction with your edit, or so I think.

You can link to this post for a confirmation from me that you are a consistently well-behaved and constructive contributor.

If that does not work, I will contact Fandom directly about it.

It was actually wrongfully banned by Fandom two years ago for "spam" reasons I believe, for about a month, I told you about that too. Of course, the ban could be circumvented just by refreshing or logging off and logging back on but it kept coming back at times up until the ban period was over. But for some reason it never showed up on my block log.

Weird, that should not be happening. I've only ever used VPNs when I faced internet outages or I was sure that my country was censoring access.

'Kay.
 
Okay so I got a report back, it was an old-ass filter from 2010 and was causing severe problems across Fandom. It has been fixed now, I carried out an edit without issues.
