Controversial Powers on New Pages - Editing Rules Tweak

How is this coming along?

Didn't know I had to make a draft. Current:
  • Profiles for characters that have any statistic or ability that is Low 1-A or above are not allowed to be created unless their reasoning has been evaluated and accepted by the wiki staff via a content revision thread or explanation blog, or if they scale to characters whose reasoning has already been evaluated.
  • Blogs for 2-A or higher tier and particularly controversial powers will be subject to extra scrutiny and will need the approval of staff members.

My revision:
  • Profiles for characters that have any statistic or ability that is Low 1-C or above require a CRT to add unless an existing scaling already exists and has been previously accepted. Profiles that are Low 1-A or above are not allowed to be created unless their reasoning has been evaluated and accepted by the wiki staff via a content revision thread or explanation blog, no matter what profiles may already exist.
  • Particularly controversial powers such as Conceptual Manipulation, Information Manipulation, Plot Manipulation, Causality Manipulation, Fate Manipulation, Abstract Existence, Nonexistence Physiology, Paraconsistent Physiology, Godly-level Regeneration, and Acausality will be subject to extra scrutiny and will need the approval of staff members.

i think the starting threshold should be 2-A at least; theoretically speaking, 2-A seem easy due to only involving infinite amount of 4D universes, but this is one of the most controversial topics due to wide varieties of ways 2-A could be achieved, which sparked heated debate in the past

@Qawsedf234 Are these changes acceptable?
 
@FinePoint @Antvasima @Vietthai96 @DarkDragonMedeus @Catzlaflame The following is the current draft as agreed by Agnaa and Qawsedf. Is it acceptable?
*Profiles for characters that have any statistic or ability that is Low 1-C or above cannot be added without a Content Revision Thread, unless that rating scales to an accepted value on an existing profile. Profiles that are Low 1-A or above are not allowed to be created unless their reasoning has been evaluated and accepted by the wiki staff via a content revision thread or explanation blog, regardless of whether or not they scale to another page.
*Profiles with controversial powers such as Conceptual Manipulation, Information Manipulation, Plot Manipulation, Causality Manipulation, Fate Manipulation, Abstract Existence, Nonexistence Physiology, Paraconsistent Physiology, Godly-level Regeneration, and Acausality cannot be created without a Content Revision Thread, unless another profile in that verse has received that same ability for near-identical reasons, through an accepted Content Revision Thread.

I also agree with the latest draft text for new rules being applied. 🙏

Thank you greatly for helping out. 🙏❤️
 
Since the thread is concluded, the change was applied, should we close this thread?
 
Permission to comment given by Ant, didn't really mean to have this thread re-opened.

I had went and asked Ant in site dms if this threads newly accepted rules extend to editing existing pages that might be outdated, and being able to do so without a CRT so long as it comes from already accepted things as well and was prompted to ask here, since I am aware the wiki can be very strict with adding even self evident revisions for existing profiles without a CRT.
 
You can make a new page that scales to, or has nigh-identical reasoning for, these things, as long as our standards say you can.

But you cannot revise existing profiles without a CRT.

Yeah that's what I thought, I was more so wondering if the emergence of this CRT would result in more lenience for editing and/or revising existing profiles. However, I am aware this comes with various new things to consider such as the concept of "self evident revisions" being mostly subjective to the user in question and whatnot. Thank you for swiftly answering my question though and sorry for needlessly opening this CRT, you can close this again if you'd like.
