Organizing The Site Rules, Part 2 - Editing Rules

[FinePoint]

Continuing from here.

Hello, friends. I have completed my first draft of the revised structure for our Editing Rules.
The original page suffers greatly from being a very long list with no headings and in no particular order. I fixed that.

This is the revised draft.

Note: Per Ant's request, I did not make content changes. I merely reorganized them, and made slight changes to grammar if needed for the different order. It was lot of copy-pasting, so it's possible there's an error somewhere.
Please let me know if you have any complaints, suggestions, corrections, etc. If you want to edit the sandbox directly, you may.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you extremely much for helping out.

It looks good to me, but I did not have the time to properly investigate the structure and choosen titles of the page in question.

@AKM sama @DarkDragonMedeus @SomebodyData @Celestial_Pegasus @Wokistan @Andytrenom @Ultima_Reality @Mr._Bambu @Elizhaa @Qawsedf234 @ByAsura @Sir_Ovens @Damage3245 @Starter_Pack @Abstractions @LordGriffin1000 @Colonel_Krukov @SamanPatou @GyroNutz

Would any of you be willing to help out here please?

 

[Elizhaa]

It seems fine.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Looks good to me.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you for the evaluation help.

Would somebody here be willing to spend the time to perform a bit more thorough analysis than I had the time to do above? Given that this is a very important change, I would definitely appreciate it.

 

[Damage3245]

At first glance the expanded rules page looks greatly organized and sufficiently detailed, but I can spend a bit more time going over it tomorrow.

That would be appreciated by me as well.
I did not do a thorough enough check for errors.

 

[SamanPatou]

Looks good and better to both read and navigate.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you very much to everybody who are helping out here.

 

[FinePoint]

Thank you very much to everybody who are helping out here.

Well, despite any possible errors, it seems people support this as well.
Should I begin work on the next page ahead of time?
If so, could you please link it to me again?

 

[Antvasima]

Yes, that is perfectly fine.

Only the "General" section of that page might need a bit of reorganisation, and it isn't very long:

[Antvasima]

I am also uncertain if the following page needs some improved organisation or not:

[FinePoint]

Is there a way to have multiple sandboxes open at once?

 

[Antvasima]

You can create several personal wiki sandboxes for yourself, yes. Just name them Sandbox1, Sandbox2, Sandbox3, etc., or somesuch.

@FinePoint

Have you made any progress here?

@FinePoint

Have you made any progress here?

Not yet, but soon.
I'm finishing up a render someone requested.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. No problem. Thank you for helping out.

 

[FinePoint]

I am finally starting to feel better from COVID.
I believe that still, nobody has thoroughly checked my draft for accuracy.

Could someone please do so?

The current name of #5 is too similar to the name of #4, maybe the name of #5 in the draft should be renamed to Referencing Statistics instead of Justifying Statistics? As most of the points under it pertain to the application of link/citation of sources? So that there is a clearer distinction between the two.

 

[Just_a_Random_Butler]

I saw this thread earlier and I forgot to reply. Thank you for notifying me, Ant.

I like the draft a lot, it's definitely better than what we currently have.

 

[Antvasima]

No problem. Thanks a lot for helping out.

 

[Just_a_Random_Butler]

Ah, right. I forgot.

• Remember to sign character profile talk page posts with your username. Use four tilde signs (~~~~) to do so.

We don't do profile talk page posts anymore, no?

 

[Antvasima]

Some people still occasionally comment there, so I think the rule can remain.

Thank you for the feedback.
While explaining and justifying are technically different, I see your point.

I have changed it to Referencing.
Would "proving" be even more apt, though, considering not everything is about linking?

I think that works for me. Though, more input from other staff is probably needed. I'll try reading the draft again later.

 

[Antvasima]

I made a few minor changes. Does this look acceptable?

[Antvasima]

Thank you.

I would appreciate input from our other staff members here regarding if the contents of your draft page are fine to apply to our editing rules page now.

The changes are okay. Also, as I've already said before, the draft is really good, it's easier to read now, and I like that it's not just a wall of text now. Though, we still need more input. If other staff members aren't coming, should they be tagged again?

@DarkDragonMedeus @Elizhaa @Damage3245 @SamanPatou

Do you think that the following draft seems fine to apply to our Editing Rules page now?

FinePoint/sandbox

vsbattles.fandom.com

 

[Elizhaa]

It seems fine.

 

[Dereck03]

Was about to point something but at the end it was just my misread, anyway new draft looks alright.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you for the evaluations.

I will apply it then.

If other staff members have any objections afterwards, please mention them here.

 

[Antvasima]

Hmm.

@FinePoint

Would you be willing to make the following updates to your draft page first please, given that you began to write it on October 11 2022?

I believe I have applied all the changes, but I'd appreciate someone to double-check my work.

I see no problems with the new changes.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, the issue is if FinePoint properly included all of the updated editing rules that were applied after October 11 2022.

Yes, I think he did, I had to check it manually and compare.
