Most of the staff already agreed on doing this in general, not just for Marvel and DC.Okay. So should we only use this rule for Marvel and DC Comics instead, given that they are the most inconsistent?
We would still give credit to them at the top of the respect thread blog post by linking their post.I still am of the opinion that it's pretty scummy to just copy the work made by others for our wiki, which is basically what copying them to our blogs would be.
Well, do you have any better ideas? As we still need moderation over this sort of stuff, even if it won't be removed, it's a hard task and all, but it's of a good priority to fix the issues that have been outlined across the thread. Also, if they don't want to, they can just ask for us to just remove them, as we do with fanart currently, no profile relies on them for justifications on what's on the profile beyond the research some users do in some cases, after all, so it wouldn't compromise the profiles themselves if they were removed.That implies we asked them for permission, which I doubt was always the case, and with how other battleboarders sometimes view VSBW, there's a decent chance they wouldn't be willing to give it. Unless you're willing to contact each and every single one of them, that doesn't really work.
All I know if that if someone put the effort in a respect thread, stealing their content is absolutely unacceptable. Either way, yall do whatever,Well, do you have any better ideas?

Again, "consistency" for us, and "consistency" for other websites just aren't compatible, so this doesn't extend to only those two verses, especially considering that they also list a ton of tier 9 feats and so on when they bear no priority for us. Users can also find such respect threads for research purposes by looking them up if they so desire, so they can also just be removed with a bot in lack of better options, then eventually readded in some blog post that gets evaluated as we currently do with calculations.It is not realistic to go through all of them and somehow determine which feats that are acceptable or not, and the ones for more consistent franchises are useful to keep as future references.
Marvel and DC Comics are the main problems in this regard, since the feats are all over the place.
I think it's a case by case basis, but even a list of spells or such should receive some kind of evaluation, because they could be taken from different media, versions of the characters and so on.Also, how far does linking unevaluated stuff go? Is it only stuff from other battleboarders? Can we no longer link to other wikis for, say, a list of a character's spells for ones who have hundreds?
Even so, this feels like a lower-priority project. ig it could be enshrined in the rules and start to be gradually worked on, but a massive burst of edits to clear them all is unlikely to be successful.
These are very good points.I'm with Bob, regardless of time issues, we shouldn't link unevaluated stuff on profiles, otherwise we can start linking profiles of the same character that are on other wikis, youtube videos that explain someone's view on the character's strength, external blog posts, hell, someone might even link the Death Battles episodes, it's no different.
It doesn't make sense to strive for accuracy with calcs, debates, references, dividing media and everything else if the profile can just link to some place where all of these things can perfectly be ignored, all over the place, flat out wrong and so on.
My opinion is that we either host and evaluate them on blog posts, or we just evaluate them as they are, with the risk of them being changed, deleted or else.
The Editing Rules is perfect as it's the same place where a similar kind of stuff regarding versus threads is clarified (Although it seems we have yet to say in there as well over how off-site calculations aren't allowed for indexing purposes, but a similar wording can be used, or even be said on the same rule as this one).So should we write a new rule for this then? If so, is somebody willing to write a draft, and in which page should we place it? Is the Editing Rules page fine?
