After some discussion here, it was determined that we need to draft an editing rule regarding that the degree of infinity for tiers Low 1-C and above should be clarified whenever it is known.
My Proposal:
In addition to this issue, I think many people can agree that in general finding the specific power level of characters can be extremely difficult. Many profiles are based on calculations which aren't linked either on that profile nor the verse page, and many profiles are part of massive scaling chains which can become very confusing when you attempt to follow them without a blog. This is an example of how complicated scaling chains can be. Without a blog like this, certain verses become almost impossible to determine the power of properly to people who are not avid supporters on this Wiki.
Even if the verse page contains a comprehensive blog or easy to understand explanation (and I stress if), then a very large number of visitors the wiki have no idea this is where they should look. Off-site, a primary complaint I see constantly is that people have no idea where we get our values from. Going to the verse page simply isn't intuitive, countless people can surely testify to not even knowing about this until considerable time on the Wiki.
My proposal for the rule is something all-inclusive, which accounts for both the degree of infinity issue and the lower tiers at once. I'm not attached to the exact wording, this is just a draft:
Note that it says "if practical", which means this won't be so strictly enforced that characters whose powers are vague to begin with will be affected. In short, one will be required to include or link to an explanation only if it's available to us. If it exists somewhere on the Wiki, it should be linked to right on the profile. If it exists in a CRT thread, and if someone knows about it, then that explanation should be adapted for the profile.

A few quick examples of this rule in action would be: "Stronger than [X], who is superior to the 6-dimensional [Y]," or "Held his own against [X], who is capable of [this feat]," or "Superior to [X], see [here] for an explanation of the full scaling chain."
Note that it says "if practical", which means this won't be so strictly enforced that characters whose powers are vague to begin with will be affected.
