Important: A change in our wiki tiering format

[The_Impress]

I'm burnt out from irl stuff, but is there anything I can do to help so I don't feel like I'm not doing anything?

Nothing specific, just if you see a page without the format just add it in :v

 

[Antvasima]

Also, there is still the tab2 revision to help finish, so don't overwork yourself with both at the same time please.

For editing tiers can i start doing it or is there anything i should wait for?

We're currently not allowing relative newcomers to assist, as that'll completely bury the recent activity section, if it's fine :V

But why template it all if it's just gonna add some unnecessary scrambling around, especially with things that pretty much have to be manually written in anyway (ex. possiblies, likelies, and in some cases move-specific and transformation-specific tiers)?

Oh my god, we finally have categories for sub tiers. My prayers have been answered.

Because it's the only way to add sub-tier categories using a bot, for 30,000 pages :V

Like yes it's not ideal we've reached a point where we had to do this, but it's a minor change for something the wiki crucially needs.

 

[Antvasima]

I agree with Impress. It is a trivial change, even if it will take some getting used to.

However, I have two questions for Impress and Amelia:

Let's say that we later decide to only add tier categories with the templates, and remove all of the ones that were added manually with our automated categories mass-editing script. Would the ones added by templates still remain in the profile pages afterwards, and would there be any potential damage to the wiki due to conflicting scripts, if I let my Bot account handle this task later?

I'm editing D&D

I finished it

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you for helping out. It is very appreciated.

Yes, because they technically are a part of the Template, not the page, coding wise

and would there be any potential damage to the wiki due to conflicting scripts, if I let my Bot account handle this task later?

Shouldn't be, but it must be afterwards the project is complete 100% though

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you for the information.

Can you verify with Amelia, as she is quite experienced at coding?

 

[The_Impress]

K

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you.

 

[The_Impress]

Thank you.

She says it won't cause any issues if you were to do it afterwards the project is done.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you for the information.

 

[Theglassman12]

Updated more of my verses and fixed some mistakes.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you for helping out. It is appreciated.

 

[GoldenScorpions]

I updated my verses according to the new tier format.

 

[The_Impress]

We're likely to be done with Tier 9 by Monday, for the record.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you very much to Amelia for helping out so much, and to everybody else helping out here as well.

 

[The_Impress]

Tier 9, biggest category, is now finally complete.

Moving onto Tier 8

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you.

Promestein told me that she is also willing to help out.

 

[The_Impress]

AWB has isssues updating if multiple people are running it at once, so best refrain from it right now.

Thanks to her for the offer though.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. She said that she can likely get it done considerably swifter though.

She also made some improvements to the code.

 

[The_Impress]

k, I'll discuss with her

 

[Antvasima]

Okay.

 

[Antvasima]

Hello.

I just want to announce that the tier template-adding project has now been finished thanks to the combined efforts of Elizhaa, Amelia, and especially Promestein. Massively big thanks to all of them. You are all awesome.

 

[Antvasima]

Also, I updated our Tiering System page and wiki navigation bar accordingly.
