P&A's still pretty important and all.

We have quite a lot of unknown pages, I don't see the problem. Tiers are cool and all, but not all characters are made to be tierable.

true, before being a member whenever I look up a character and see unknown for most of the stats I get quite disappointed

I mean if tiering is meant to be the main focus, should we just go ahead and remove most profiles?
P&A, range, stamina, intellect, etc, seems more important to me than how hard they can punch

I still don't think that we should encourage our members to spam pages that are essentially half-empty drafts, especially not for Marvel and DC Comics, given how many characters they have. Sorry.

Not sure if this was meant for me, probably wasn't
but if it was, I was referring to most stats being unknown
should those profiles exist?
I mean if you don't even know how fast these types of characters are, then what's the point of a vsbattle, would they just be match-banned...
but if it was, I was referring to most stats being unknown
Like most of these being unknown with only a few specific abilities that are usually hax or something
should those profiles exist?

I was responding to Confluctor and Impress.

Idk Ant, think that's a very subjective take there.

Characters can be worthy of indexing just via P&A imo, so Unknown is fine

What would be the procedure for getting the work on the key started on?
Should I just scan a bunch of panels and start a debate over it, or what?
I'm still in limbo for if I should try to revise the drafts myself.

I think that there is a big risk that we would get spammed with minor characters that are not possible to index properly/that would turn pretty pointless due to their lack of statistics.

I doubt that a key on a secondary profile would cause any change in the behavior of users at all. Plus, the P&A would still have to be well-researched.

I think that you can probably start revising the draft, but Impress should preferably check with Amelia first. I don't want to trigger any conflicts.

Yes, but I was speaking in general terms. An exception here and there likely isn't a very big deal.

So I looked for Darkseid, and saw that all of Great Darkness Saga Darkseid's showings are categorized under the Pre-Crisis Darkseid key, although Pre-Crisis Darkseid was beefed up in the Great Darkness Saga beyond even his "baseline" power level. And by that, I mean he was beefed up a lot. He had stolen the power of several magical artifacts, as well as that of Mordru (himself a high-power baddie) and the Time Trapper (also a high-power baddie, although this version was later retconned into a mere proxy for the "true" Time Trapper that was even more powerful). I suppose it could be argued in the context of the story that it was just Darkseid using extrinsic power sources to compensate for the degradation of his own abilities over a thousand years of hibernation, but that's not how I read it.
I think similar logic might apply for Pulsar Stargrave, which is theoretically a really, really beefed-up Pre-Crisis Brainiac. So maybe we could just put his feats under the Pre-Crisis Brainiac key as is.
I don't know if these off-the-cuff suggestions are helping any more at this rate.

Er, no actually.
Is there a manual?

Just go to your user page, and in the URL address, add in /[Sandbox Title], and edit whichever page comes up

Kerfuffles had to make his own changes or something to propose, iirc
