Quantum Manipulation: A Broken Relic of Old

[Crabwhale]

We can just do an evaluation thread to check on all pages that have quantum page.

Good idea.

We still need to set up an organisation structure for this project, and then apply it in practice.

Agnaa had some suggestions here:

Yeah I think we'll have to do the ol' manual check by splitting the pages into sections for different people.

Split the whatlinkshere stuff into 5/10 segments, assign them to different people, and people will go through their segments, determining whether it should stay, and if so, what ability it should be changed to, for each page. In cases of ambiguity, try contacting supporters.

Once these have all been altered, the page can be deleted.

Just the typical thing we've done in the past for these sorts of revisions.

Are any of you willing to help out with this as well please?

How would we go about the evaluation thread? What would our exact criteria be?

Also, GarrixianXD is taking a break for at least 3 month in order to focus on his studies, so we likely need more volunteers for this project.

We still seem to need your help here if this project is going to be structured and applied.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Not sure what's needed aside from the entire list of pages with it linked from Quantum Manipulation to have it removed. And then to delete the page.

 

[Antvasima]

Yes, but we need to get several volunteers to handle all of the work.

[Crabwhale]

Hmm. It appears the number of pages actually on there is substantially lower than I thought at first. The over 1000 is also accounting for comments on blogs as well as sandboxes and blogs themselves.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. That is good then.

Here is a more accurate list with less than 500 entries:

By the way, this category also needs to be removed from all of the pages where quantum manipulation is removed

[GarrixianXD]

What should be done here now? Have we properly discussed our strategy yet?

University was surprisingly not as bad as I anticipated; considering it's first year, I can just get 4.0 credits and officially enroll into my program before getting into any serious crap. Especially since the content I'm studying is already covered in my years of doing AP in high school. Though, I might be busy next year, who knows XD

I'll try and help out more actively from now on.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you. That is good to hear.

I do not remember exactly what we need to do here, beyond gathering staff volunteers to help remove the quantum manipulation ability and the quantum users category from the following pages, but I may misremember.

Do they need to be reviewed to see if they fit other powers or just cut? If it's the latter, I can finish this on the spot with a simple script.

Yes, they need to be reviewed. That is the whole point of continuing this thread past the initial consensus of "power page bad". There are variations and listings of Quantum Manipulation that would fall under other powers, and would thus need to be edited into something else rather than outright deleted from the pages.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, where no explanations are available for the ability, it should likely simply be removed in lack of better options.

 

[Crabwhale]

Bump

We need help with applying this project.

 

[ByAsura]

Ok. I can help.

Are we just removing them outright, or reviewing each page?

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you greatly for being willing to help.

@Crabwhale

What do you think?

 

[Crabwhale]

Are we just removing them outright, or reviewing each page?

We have to review each page that has an actual description for the power. If it's there without purpose, delete it. Depending on the description of the power, it may need to be changed to other abilities.

 

[ByAsura]

Ok, I'll make a list of the first couple hundred.

 

[ByAsura]

I've started with the first 82 for today.

 

[Antvasima]

Thanks a lot for helping out. You are awesome.

 

[ByAsura]

Ok, I've covered the other half of the 200.

I'll admit, I kind of gave up at Destiny characters, like Oryx, because that shit sucks.

Edit: To clarify, not saying Destiny sucks. I've never played the games. Just interpreting all that sucks.

I can evaluate the rest because I'm off work for a while yet, but I'm not editing the profiles.

@WHYNAUT

 

[ByAsura]

Also, I'd recommend getting someone to spruce up World of Darkness.

The quantum manipulation justification seems perfectly fine, but the profiles need evidence and such.

 

[ByAsura]

On another note, I've left off a couple profiles (including Creator's Offspring) because, while it sounds right, I have no idea if you need resistance to quantum manipulation specifically to survive a black hole. Also, I'm pretty sure it depends on whether the characters were within the ergosphere, event horizon, or singularity.

 

[Crabwhale]

Okay so there might have been a misunderstanding here. We're deleting the Quantum Manipulation page entirely. The examples of it that have more to them than just garbled nonsense, they may need to be reassigned to other powers. One example that should pop fairly often is the Quantum section of the Matter Manip page.

 

[ByAsura]

Bruh. I asked that immediately and nobody clarified that.

Ok, then. That's just a small edit. And I've already given a bunch of alternatives on the page, like fissionism for Squidward.

 

[Antvasima]

Thanks a massive lot again.

 

[Crabwhale]

Bruh. I asked that immediately and nobody clarified that.

Apologies, I should have specified.

All cases of quantum manipulation in Destiny should fall under physics manipulation or matter manipulation. I'm currently reworking the verse, so I can handle that.

@Crabwhale This protocol is correct, right?

Needa make sure.

 

[Crabwhale]

Yes. If there's no justification linking Quantum Manip to anything else, just get rid of it. If not, keep it and change it to an appropriate power. If you don't know which power to change it to, you can post about it here.

In his O2 he has Quantum Manipulation, what would this be changed to, if anything?

 

[Crabwhale]

WHY's handling it.

 

[DaReaperMan]

Wrong Oryx. What WHY is handling is The Taken King

 

[ByAsura]

If there's no justification linking Quantum Manip to anything else, just get rid of it

In that case, I've edited almost all the profiles I put under unjustified.

So that's 30 or so down.
