Again, platform creation users generally aren't forcefield or creation users, so it wouldn't be intersecting with anything.

Actually, the primary purpose of the site is "properly index the statistics of characters from a wide variety of different fictional franchises.", so yes, this may be annoying and all, but any issue should be polished for it to be usable for this sort of purposes with no trouble.I'm not too keen on debating this anymore, so lemme just post some last general thoughts.
Making a lot of changes isn't inherently "progress" nor is it inherently "helpful", even if they seem like they would be. The primary purpose of the site is for entertainment. It's a hobby. Placing arbitrary restrictions on things and trying to draw lots and lots of lines in the sand where they aren't needed are only really contributing to making people wanna bugger off. Don't overcomplicate things, yo.
That is a very good point.Though I do find it weird how restrictive we're being on an indexing site.
This is also a good point.Making a lot of changes isn't inherently "progress" nor is it inherently "helpful", even if they seem like they would be.

My point exactly- or, at least, the end goal is the same. Trouble is to be avoided. So has it occurred to you, that swapping up many things that probably don't need swapping, could cause confusion? Could you reliably say every veteran member of the site could tell you the same procedures, given that we change them so often?Actually, the primary purpose of the site is "properly index the statistics of characters from a wide variety of different fictional franchises.", so yes, this may be annoying and all, but any issue should be polished for it to be usable for this sort of purposes with no trouble.
It is no such thing. It is an appeal to keeping the site user-friendly. I believe tweaking everything for low priority reasons is more of a hassle on the average user than leaving some things be. For example, your proposed future revision: why block fanart? If an artist is credited and the artwork is removed at request, what is the issue? 's foolish. Nonsense.Well, that's more of just an appeal to tradition, which shouldn't be given too much priority to unless it compromises stuff rather directly.
Changing the way of thinking from one time to another is also quite common, that's why CRTs tend to go in unexpected ways at times.
In the end doing large changes isn't necessarily bad, but it isn't necessarily good either, yes.
These are my approximations by seeing people's posts thus far and may be slightly off:
Delete: 2 (Bobsican, Wokistan)
Rename: 4 (Mr. Bambu, SomebodyData, Antvasima, AKM Sama)
Either of the Above: 6 (Agnaa, Antoniofer, Ionliosite, Damage3245, YuriAkuto, Elizhaa)
Do Nothing: 0
Maybe we can use this updated tally instead?Anyway, we seem to have a few options here:
1) Leave the page as it is.
2) Expanding a bit on the defined uses of glyphs beyond creating platforms.
3) Renaming the page to Platform Creation, and having to update a lot of character profiles that link to it afterwards.
4) Deleting the page, and also having to update lots of pages afterwards.
What do the staff members here respectively support?
Well, in some cases it looks too unprofessional, and plenty of cases don't bother to give credit, my main concern were the "memes" as seen in pages such as Patrick Star, but this is off-topic, this revision would aim more for some minimal standards as to what can be featured into a gallery section, rather than necessarily limit it to only official diverse canon designs of the character and its equipment, moves, etc. in question. Otherwise plenty of verses such as Fist of the North Star would be hindered indexing-wise out of using pictures from a non-canon game, let alone literary-based verses with their fanart in lack of better options... yeah, but as said before, this would be best covered in another thread.It is no such thing. It is an appeal to keeping the site user-friendly. I believe tweaking everything for low priority reasons is more of a hassle on the average user than leaving some things be. For example, your proposed future revision: why block fanart? If an artist is credited and the artwork is removed at request, what is the issue? 's foolish. Nonsense.
Regarding the last line, yeah, that's what I said. So just doing a large revision for the sake of doing a large revision reeks to me. A wise man once said, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". I don't think most of the things you're attempting to tweak are broken. Could just be me, though, I suppose.
No, I'm also for deleting it and have no idea why I'm listed under another option.everyone else thinks either of these is fine.
I agree, because a Glyph is a sign, a type of writing. If we take it literally as it is now, Glyph Creation is another kind of Text Manipulation.I suppose that is a good point.
I have seen glyph magic be used for other purposes than platforms within fiction though, such as force fields/barriers, so whoever updates the profile pages that link to it afterwards would have to check if each of the relevant characters are described to actually create platforms by using it.
