We might need to start a wiki project for this, yes, preferably by using the following code in Google search: "extended melee" site:vsbattles.wikia.com
Would somebody else in the staff be willing to start a thread for it, or should we let this change be a gradual process instead?

Either way, we'll need these bullet points.Antvasima said:
- It's important to note that the act of throwing results in arbitrary distances. This category simply covers the minimum distance required to be out of reach for most melee weapons.
- Characters whose melee range is under 10 meters yet exceeds the limits of most melee weapons (including spears) qualify under this range.

I agree with using several meters instead of thrown weapon range.

Standard Melee Range: 50 cm to 1 m
- Applies to fighters using mostly their arms and legs as weapons.
- This includes most standard melee weapons, such as daggers, swords, axes, maces, etcetera
- Applies to fighters who utilize long melee weaponry or have otherwise short-ranged attacks that extend beyond normal human reach.
- Applies to weapons such as spears, halberds, and whips.
- This also applies to characters who possess abnormally long weapons such as Cloud Strife's Buster Sword and Guts' Dragonslayer.
- Applies to weapons that are designed to be utilized as throwing weapons such as shuriken, bombs, grenades, and chakrams.

As the OP, I'm gonna leave a note here and say this. I just felt it needed to be said...
I can't believe one guy's nitpicking on one category would lead to one of the most major revisions in Vs Battles Wiki history.

@Antvasima IIRC, for the 3rd one and assuming you're quoting @Rep's suggestion, that should say "thrown weapon range" not "several meters."
Edit: Nvm, ignore this reply.

@Magi Several meters is what we're going with.

Should I invite other staff members to comment here as well? This thread is lacking in staff opinions. And if it goes through, it will be a pretty big revision, so I think we should get more input just to be safe.

If it's just for editing our range page (and our standards), this seems fine, but I don't think actually doing a wiki-wide revision would be reasonable, if that's what is planned.

I agree with this, but I don't believe a wiki-wide revision is needed. All we need to do is touch up files we see with an EMR issue when we see them.

Alright thrown weapon range sounds weird to me considering other weapons could be in that range but other than that this seems fine.
Common sense. I approve.

Well, I think most of us agree to say several meters instead of throwing weapons; in fact, a lot of throwing weapons can very depending on thrower and object being thrown. So that would only confuse newcomers. and it's not like several kilometers is called "Sniper Weapon range" or anything.
But other than that, Reppuzan's suggestion is great. And the way Antvasima has in the quoted block of text above looks perfect for me.
