Thank you very much for your help. We should preferably decide a naming procedure in which all of the new regular pages use something similar to the following title structure:

- Granblue Fantasy Cosmology Explanation
- Blazblue Cosmology & Terminology blog
- World of Darkness Cosmology Blog
- Unsong Cosmology Blog
- God of War: Myths of the Norse
- Grandmist Duology - Cosmology
- Lord Xue Ying - Cosmology
- W.I.T.C.H. Tier 2 Cosmology + Tier 3 and 2 Feats Collection
- The Elder Scrolls: Cosmology & Lore
- The Elder Scrolls: Metaphysics & Philosophy (I think?)
- No Man's Sky Explanation Blog
- The Absolver Explanation Blog
- Spore: How Will You Create the Universe?
- Chronicle Legion Blog
- Fine Structure Explanations
- Gurren Lagann High Complex Multiversal Cosmology
- Dragon Ball Heroes/Xenoverse/Fusions Cosmology Blog
- Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Complete Scaling Blog!
- Granblue Fantasy Cosmology Explanation
- Bionicle Respect Thread
- Wedding Peach Respect Thread (Creator is no longer active so idk.)
- Epic Battle Fantasy respect thread
- Heavy Object Respect Thread
- The Weakness of Beatrice... Explanation and Respect Thread
- Toaru Majutsu no Index Explanation Thread
- The Unexplored Summon Blood Sign Respect Thread
At the moment only the explanation pages/cosmology blogs should be moved to regular pages, there are still more blogs, but they are compilations of feats or explanation of some character, etc. There are also other blogs that explain aspects of X cosmology, but there are too many of them and I don't know if they would qualify.
Yep, (except the one I put in parenthesis saying (I think?)That seems good to me, but do all of the blogs in question explain cosmology specifically?
As cases like this appear to just have been declined from being moved to Explanation Pages, I'd think it'd be worthwhile to have some criteria regarding what's allowed in a Explanation Page and not, especially long term.Sorta crossposting this here due to relevance; I noticed in this thread that moving all Explanation Pages to mainspace would run into conflicts with our rules on Verse-Specific Powers and Abilities, since some abilities that don't qualify for that instead have Explanation Blogs.
Agnaa's suggestion seems fine to me, in that regard. Nevertheless, I'll work on converting blog posts I was personally involved with into proper wiki pages, if necessary. This will be a good opportunity to trim some of them down and make general adjustments, anyway; it's something I've been wanting to do for quite some time."[Verse name] Cosmology" or "[Verse name] Explanation Page". The word "thread" should also not be included, for example.
That seems like a good idea. We could create a "Standard Format for Explanation Pages" instruction page, if somebody is willing to write a draft for it.As cases like this appear to just have been declined from being moved to Explanation Pages, I'd think it'd be worthwhile to have some criteria regarding what's allowed in a Explanation Page and not, especially long term.
Thanks a lot for helping out. It is very appreciated.Agnaa's suggestion seems fine to me, in that regard.

Maybe something like...Okay. That makes sense. I would appreciate if somebody is willing to write an instruction/rule text draft.
Regarding Explanation Pages, keep in mind that their contents should aim for formal wording and not rely on content such as fan terms or pronouns related to the author(s) of the page in question. Of note is that they shouldn't be used to circumvent standards for other page formats nor overlap with them, and so are restricted at most to explain content that can't properly fit in a profile (such as reasonings for a cosmology, equipment and in-verse exceptions or semantics) for the purposes of their current indexing on the site, and are linked as justifications in the relevant pages.
To clarify, I mean the above being added to the Editing RulesThank you. How about this then?
"Keep in mind that the contents of Explanation Pages should strictly use formal language, and not rely on content such as fan terms or personal pronouns referring to the author(s) of the page in question. They should also strictly focus on explaining content that can't properly fit into profile pages, such as extensive reasoning for the scale of a verse cosmology or other complicated functions and structures within it, to provide justifications and background context for their currently listed powers and tiers in this wiki, without overlapping with the structure and function of verse-specific powers and abilities pages. Explanation Pages should be linked to as justifications in the associated relevant verse and character profile pages."

Wouldn't it be better if I add the accepted instruction text to the following category page instead of to our Editing Rules page though? It will likely be seen by more people who actually need to see it that way.
https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Explanation_Pages
Chances are there'll be even more standards to do over them eventually, and generally category descriptions want to be rather short, and so it'd be best to just mention the current one then request that for more information the Editing Rules should be checked, even if just for futureproofing at the moment.
Something similar was done in the Mind Manip page regarding Hax standards.
@Dereck03 @DarkDragonMedeusYes. Placing the instruction text in our Editing Rules, and then referring to it in the category itself seems like a good approach.
I think so.Was that what was proposed?
Medeus already handled it I think, also I'm not in my home yet so I can't edit properly as I'm using phone atm, sorry.Would either of you be willing to handle this please?
