Generally have been ignored in thiis thread, but it's worth meaning that a few words in this page should be removed.
https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Standard_Format_for_Vehicle_Profiles
"Cars, Motorcycles, Bicycles" all the ones that we won't be allowing. But, then again, you could just put a note that says that they should only be allowed for blog posts for such.

Still relevant for the sake of fictional vehicles and as example on the page itself.

That seems fine.
I try to rephrase this as
"Please make profiles for real life vehicles only when the vehicle in question has a combat/military/policing/lethal purpose (such as a tank). Ordinary civilian vehicles are not notable or distinct enough for pages."
This will clarify better on what types of vehicles should stay/be added.
And just saying: Vehicles (Helicopters and airplanes etc) that carry weapons (like the AC-130 and AH-64 Apache) are considered combat/military/policing/lethal purpose vehicles right?

I disagree. I think that wording's kinda clunky. Military is clear enough

But quite a lot of weapons are not quite military but are definitely lethal enough and fit the purpose to be added as a profile. Sorry for disagreeing your disagree.Promestein said:
For example:
An Elephant Gu is more for hunting than for use in militaries but it currently qualifies as weapon profile here. But Prom version note will exclude it because it is "not military" but can definitely be used for a combat/military/policing/lethal purpose. Same as for Baseball Bat and many more.

Maybe just combat oriented is fine.

I mean, no reason to apologize.
Combat-oriented is fine though.

"Please make profiles for real life vehicles only when the vehicle in question has a combat purpose (such as a tank). Ordinary civilian vehicles are not combat-purposed, notable or distinct enough for pages."
How does the Jasonsith-DarkDragonMedeus version go?

How about this?
"Please do not make profiles for real life vehicles, unless the vehicle in question is combat-oriented, such as a tank. Ordinary civilian vehicles are not notable or distinct enough for pages."

A minor gripe with the standard profile:
Rather than "Notable Attacks/Techniques", I'd rather put "Notable Attacks/Functionalities" or even just "Notable Attacks", as a vehicle can't really perform a "technique" or have any skills, unless the user/driver is able to pull such things off either because of their own skills/experience and/or because of the vehicle's design.
