Potential "Tags" for Fun & Games threads

[Bobsican]

I don't think that I should ask about the following topics, as content revision discussions should preferably simply add the main affected pages, and only 4 of them are allowed.

Hax Revisions

Power Revisions

Well, normally those (to my knowledge) tend to include the main character(s), the verse page and "denotable" characters involved, which sometimes can look messy if you ask me.

Those tags are meant so such topics get a sort of highlight so they are attended better and without having to bump them for weeks, especially for threads about "inactive" or to-be made for the wiki profiles like Jimmy Neutro (Which doesn´t even have a verse page), Hello Kitty and Arthur Read (also in development for the site from scratch)

Outside of that, yeah, such tags are fine to be added as of right now, as more will likely be added as needed.

 

[Antvasima]

There would be too many and too unspecified entries for both of those options, and they would recurrently take up room from the more specific topics, so I disagree.

 

[Bobsican]

Let´s see what others think in that case. These two should be at least kept in mind if this idea shows to get useful results.

The rest seems to be accepted, however.

 

[Antvasima]

Yes.

 

[Bobsican]

I think you can go ahead and ask Fandom about this, more tags will likely be added in the future as needed, then again.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. I will do so.

 

[Antvasima]

I have asked them.

 

[Antvasima]

The Fandom staff has replied. They are not able to create topics without connected pages. We have to create empty pages ourselves in order to do so, and I am not sure whether or not that would be a good idea.

 

[Kepekley23]

Why not? We just need to admin-protect them.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, I suppose that might be an idea.

However, we would have to place a note in each of them that clarfies that they are only created for the sake of the forums, and that no new such pages are to be created without asking the bureaucrats for an evaluation first. Otherwise we would end up with a lot of pointless empty pages being created.

 

[Antvasima]

So the following to start with then?

[Kepekley23]

Yep.

 

[Antvasima]

Are you willing to handle it? I am going to bed now.

It would probably be good to add a "Forum Topics Pages" category at the bottom of the pages as well, for improved indexing purposes.

 

[Torlikoff]

This seems like a great idea

 

[PsychoWarper]

I agree with this completely.

 

[Bobsican]

It would probably be good to add a "Forum Topics Pages" category at the bottom of the pages as well, for improved indexing purposes.

That´s a pretty great idea TBH, it definitelly should be applied as soon the pages are made.

 

[Ryukama]

Or I guess you could have "Fun Match-Ups"

 

[Bobsican]

Or I guess you could have "Fun Match-Ups"

It would confuse new users, so the current one is likely better as it wouldn´t really be taken as something else, especially considering "actual" Vs. Threads often are quite fun, which is self-explanatory regarding your idea.

 

[Ryukama]

If it's a "Fun" one in the Fun and Games no one is going to mistake it for being a serious match up.

 

[Bobsican]

Quite a good amount of new users (As in, very new users) aren´t even aware of the board in a proper way TBH, and preventing it by doing this minor thing surely would avoid needless effort.

 

[Antvasima]

I agree with Bobsican in this case. The topics should preferably be as hard to misunderstand as possible. My apologies Ryukama.

 

[Junkoposter]

I agree with all of this

 

[Antvasima]

I will try to get the time to create these topics pages later today.

 

[Junkoposter]

noice

 

[Antvasima]

I have created the pages:

[Antvasima]

Feel free to add the new topics to all the appropriate threads in the Fun & Games forum.

 

[Andytrenom]

Can we make a "lists" tag? It would apply to things like the "for every tier" threads which are really prevalent here.

Also we are still allowed to tag the involved characters in a non serious battle thread right? Just want to make sure.

 

[Antvasima]

A lists thread topic is fine to create, but the page must follow the exact same pattern as the ones I linked above, and be admin-locked.

You can tag the involved characters, yes.

 

[Andytrenom]

Understood. I'm creating it then.

Edit: Done.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thanks.

 

[Bobsican]

I really think the pages themselves should also have a description for what they were meant to be used for in the forum, by the way.

 

[Andytrenom]

I'd rather if we don't be specific with what the tags have be used for. They give a good enough general idea on what they can be used for from just their names alone.

Though I won't argue strongly against adding descriptions if that's what others want.

 

[Bobsican]

I mean, not adding a description would make some tags like the "Lists" tag be taken to use for something else, making them a mess over time.

It also doesn´t hurt to have a description, after all.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. If somebody writes good suggestions for text descriptions for each of the pages, I suppose that I or Andy can insert them.

Here are the ones that we need:

Lists

 

[Bobsican]

Well, the OP already brings a decent description for all of them but the "Lists" one.

I´m sure they´ll need some rewording, however.

 

[Antvasima]

Is somebody else willing to refine the description text segments? I am extremely busy.
