Personally I do not mind the modification in any case.

 

[DaReaperMan]

I also do not mind the modification

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you. We need some more staff input first though.

That's regarding staff, if needed I can list non-staff as well.

Sorry for the double post, but on second thought, I think one of the exceptions could be merged with one of the rules, as it serves as more of a clarification than being a proper exception in cases there's no proper entry to rely on for naming purposes:

• The character in question has been separated into multiple profiles for organization purposes, but it can't be formally named after a respective entry in a series, and so it's clarified by something else instead, usually a crucial event, such as Monkey D. Luffy (Post-Timeskip) and Monkey D. Luffy (Pre-Timeskip), or Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Pre-Genesis Wave) and Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Post-Super Genesis Wave)

So it could be instead:

"The titles of character pages should be the respective character's name and nothing else, but in cases when there is one or more characters with identical names, a parenthesis that clarifies the entry in the series that a specific character has debuted in, rather than the title of the verse itself, should only be applied in cases when:

• It is required to separate a Canon from another for clarification purposes, such as Son Goku (Dragon Ball GT) and Son Goku (Dragon Ball Super)
• The same character needs to be featured in multiple profiles, representing different periods from the same timeline, for organization purposes. For example, Son Goku (Dragon Ball) and Son Goku (Dragon Ball Z). If it can't be formally named after a respective entry in a series, it's clarified by something else instead, usually a crucial event, such as Monkey D. Luffy (Post-Timeskip) and Monkey D. Luffy (Pre-Timeskip), or Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Pre-Genesis Wave) and Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Post-Super Genesis Wave)
• There are other characters with the same name in the same verse (Even if they are related), as is the case with Link
• The verse in question as a whole does not have a proper name beyond the author/company involved for them, like with the Nasuverse and the 07th Expansion Series

The following are exceptions, as long as they are not covered by the above-mentioned criteria:

• Name specifications are available to differentiate a character from another with otherwise the same name, such as Sora (Kingdom Hearts) and Data-Sora, instead of Sora (Kingdom Hearts) and Sora (Kingdom Hearts Coded), or Kairi Sisigou and Kairi (Street Fighter), rather than Kairi (Fate/Apocrypha) and Kairi (Street Figher).

Otherwise it is confusing and unnecessary to deviate from only mentioning the respective verse title."

What do you think about this?

 

[Ogbunabali]

Seems good to me. However, I feel as though there's an unnecessary amount of time spent on a rather trivial matter.

 

[Damage3245]

Yeah, I'm fine with the proposal there.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you. I will apply it then. Sorry about being a bother.

@Bobsican

I have handled it:

Editing Rules

The VS Battles Wiki presently consists of 34,437 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...

Should I close this thread now?

 

[Bobsican]

The rule should be solid enought now, so yes.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. I willclose this thread then.
