Bump.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.
What needs to be done here exactly?
Somewhere into our standard format pages, probably the feats section? idkFor information about linking off-site respect threads, read the rule concerning that on our Editing Rules page.
It is possible to add Respect Thread links to the list, as long as they follow the policies regarding the subject provided in the Editing Rules page.

Thank you for the information. The current text seems fine to keep in that case.I checked the Standard Format page, and we have a text that is a bit similar to this, so I assume this will be the text that will be replaced?
I do not understand why such an awkward linking method would be necessary.Also, if I am allowed to, I can link to the specific text in the Editing Rules page via a different process so it doesn't get detected by our LinkSearch or DPL (basically, not the full link "vsbattles.fandom.com") because there are moderators that are currently looking for full vsbattles link to clean up. It looks something like this:
Okay, so nothing will be changed then?Thank you for the information. The current text seems fine to keep in that case.
I was concerned that links would get detected as full vsbattles link, but nevermind that.I do not understand why such an awkward linking method would be necessary.
I think so, yes, unless Agnaa and Bobsican have objections.Okay, so nothing will be changed then?
Okay. I still do not understand though, but we should preferably use shortlinks within our wiki when it is possible.I was concerned that links would get detected as full vsbattles link, but nevermind that.
I am referring to FANDOM links that use the feature in web browsers to link to specific parts of a page based on certain words, like in this one:Okay. I still do not understand though, but we should preferably use shortlinks within our wiki when it is possible.
When you click on that hyperlink, it leads you to a text.Chuck this

DPL parameters and similar features also include this type of link. It's a situation I often come across when searching for pages with complete %vsbattles.fandom.com% or %fandom.com% links to convert them to shortlinks. Def Jam pages, for example, have multiple instances of such links (def-jam-wrestling.fandom.com links that redirect to text), which can be quite frustrating. However, let's not dwell on it. I'm simply expressing how bothersome it can be at times, and it doesn't look great in the editor if used consecutively.[https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Editing_Rules#:~:text=Do not directly add any respect thread links from external sites to our pages Editing Rules]
Okay, so there's nothing left to do here then?Okay yeah I don't know why Bob wanted something added if it was already there.
Okay. I obviously agree about that our links should use standard formatting.I am referring to FANDOM links that use the feature in web browsers to link to specific parts of a page based on certain words, like in this one:

That hyperlink would look like this in the editor:

I don't think so, but it seems best to wait for a confirmation that we can close this thread.Okay, so there's nothing left to do here then?
Okay, let's wait for Bob.I don't think so, but it seems best to wait for a confirmation that we can close this thread.
We've already addressed one of these, and the rest feel like they could be left for other threads, if people still want to pursue them.That editing rule was already drafted and implemented. Quoting from Editing Rules...
It was agreed to be added around page 2/3 of this thread.
After that it seems like the following happened:
After that it was mostly people wandering into here, and forgetting what had happened.
- Bob suggested adding a note on the standard format pages that points to that rule.
- Bob suggested trimming down "Feats" sections on pages, to only the ones relevant to tiering. I disagreed with this, since such feats would already be included in the relevant sections, making this redundant.
- You asked if a thread should be created for removing respect threads from pages.
- Bob, Saman, and I discussed how to format "Feats" sections, if they focused on showing demonstrations of a character's hax.
