Yes, that seems to indeed be a problem.

Well, we had some new mobile viewing formatting opportunities added recently, so it seems like we can add some text description near the top of the screen now.
community.fandom.com
I am not sure if it is appropriate to add a brief description about this in particular though.

Never mind. I forgot that Ursuul set up a customised mobile wiki front page layout that is a tweaked version of our desktop layout, so we can probably place a brief information text somewhere in it without too much trouble.

I am not sure, but if we apply something like that it would have to be optional.
Also, do not experiment on our actual pages for unapproved possible new page structures. Copy the page contents to sandbox draft pages instead.
That goes for this page as well:

I added a new brief "Scaling" information section to the front page of our wiki regarding this issue.

I dunno if I’m late and conclusions have already been made, but I agree with indexing values in the character justifications. Granted, it should be an optional thing.

Accidentally got myself
Optional is fine, at the very least I think people should be allowed to add the values to the tiering when they choose to
- 2,200

In my opinion, putting the numerical values in the stats sections breaks up the flow of reading with numbers and Prefix-atons.
Numerical values would be better put in the optional Explanations section that profiles can have.

It takes up barely any space at all

And? Still feels choppy regardless of how much space it takes up.

This feels like an issue that not everybody is going to have with it, I can’t really take your word for it.

Obviously not everyone is going to have that issue with it, but a number of people will. Putting the numerical values in the Explanations section of profiles avoids possibility of people having this problem entirely.
Not to mention for editing, it's more convenient to create a new space add information to, rather than wedge it between existing text.

We literally wedge shit in between text all the time
“Attack Potency: City Level (insert a buncha shit) possibly higher (more shit) Mountain level with X (more shit)”
It’s literally what we’ve always done, the only difference is that it’s numbers instead of words.

You made this edit.
And it was more or less agreed upon by most that the scaling and indexing values were to be put in the Verse page.

Despite our conclusions here, it has become quite common for our members to add "[9.7 Petatons]" or "[6.4 GigaJoules]" notes to the right of attack potency level, so we probably need to either allow this practice or make our rules regarding the issue considerably clearer and easier to notice.

If it’s an optional thing, then I personally see no detriment
I vaguely remember a Naruto profile using the format, and it made things much easier for me.

It should probably be undone then. The majority consensus was to handle it using Scaling Chain explanation pages and using approved calculations then placed in the Verse page, or in the Optional Explanations section in the profile, not to go about adding values like in the example above.

I think it looks better to have the values in there, but at least a mention in a notes section would be tolerable.
If not "Large Mountain level [2.2 Gigatons]" then maybe just leave the tier, and say smth like "The High 7-A keys all scale to [x]"
I just like working with numbers and I can't count the number of times on my hands I've had to open like 10+ tabs of characters just to create a coherent scaling chain. ESPECIALLY if there's multipliers involved, like X > Y (amped by 3x) > Y > Z.

To be honest I don't like the appearance of having the AP values displayed like that inside the AP sections. Whether it be in reference notes, or a detailed scaling breakdown elsewhere seems like the better solution to me.

Hell no, adding values to the profiles make everything more easy. Some times people just want the value and thats it, nothing more.
Also, it's not as if scaling chain explanation blogs are easy to create, they are way harder to write and elaborate

We already disagreed on this, in case y'all just forgot.
Not "blogs". Pages. We stopped doing the "blog" routine ages ago.
