How do I know if a calc is outdated?

[Nierre]

I'm trying to revise a verse, and it has some calcs which date back to 2016-2018, I'm not sure if they're outdated or not, because I don't know if our standards have changed for those calcs.

Some of the calcs aren't even on the wiki itself but on Naruto Forums, or from an old user and there are either no links, or all the links are dead.

Should I just remake the calcs/ask for them to be calced, or should I just keep them for the verse?

Correction: I'm also seeing calcs used from 2012...

It smells a bit sour, that's how you know it's outdated

didn't even know calcs can be outdated

If they're from that far back there's a change our standards for them probably changed and we tend to prefer calcs be hosted on directly on the site when we can.

So, I say copy them over here and see how calc members respond. If they don't like it, try and remake them proper and if they give them the greenlight, less work for you

They can be

• The calc maker could be using out of date information
• The calc may be using a formula that we changed forever ago
• The standards regarding what assumptions you can make could have been changed
• The calc could be full of dead links that no one can view again

If the calc is completely offsite, or maybe if the calc is filled with dead links from an inactive person
