This has been something that I thought of for a while but never actually went through with making a thread for it, until now.
As a suggestion, should we make it a rule that for any content revision thread that is accepted to change a characters statistics, or something about their verse, it needs to be linked on the character's/verse's actual pages in some way? I notice that a lot of times, threads where things are seemingly accepted to add just get lost throughout our site to either be very difficult to locate or never be seen again. This has happened to me as well, where I need to find a specific thread but can never narrow it down or even begin to narrow it down in my searches. I think it would be very useful if any accepted revision is to be linked onto the pages of the character/verse it's for so that anyone who wants to see it, for any reason, can find it immediately.
To give an example: I make a thread for Character A to have his AP and speed be upgraded to 5-B and FTL+. After discussion, the thread is accepted and part of his justification provides a link that leads directly to the thread on which this was discussed and accepted. Or if I want to upgrade the hax of multiple characters from a verse that follow suit, I link the thread on which the hax was discussed and accepted to the verse page to make it easier to organize.
The one thing that I could see making this suggestion pointless is us being able to tag the threads we make with topics that lead to the discussions about the character. However, I feel that is less efficient due to people not always making the title of their threads straightforward and clear enough to actually search for them. Plus, with the links right on the characters/verse's pages, threads can be found much faster and take less work to accomplish.
