I think they can be done separately.

Well, it'll take hours to do each, so it might be more time efficient to do them together.

Okay, I have spoken with some folks on the Dev Fandom page and created a personal wiki to test the MassEdit.js feature in order to establish proof-of-concept. I tried it on two different test profiles and it worked successfully on both.
deagonx.fandom.com
deagonx.fandom.com
So, the relocation of keys can definitely be automated. If we are comfortable with this, we can start small and test it on a single VSBW profile, and if that is successful try it on a small group of profiles, et cetera. We would need to add MassEdit.js to the global.js for an approved bot account, or to the ImportJS list for the wiki (probably not necessary, but we do have MassProtect and MassPatrol on there so it wouldn't be a problem if we did).
I have my own bot account that we could use, or if preferred I can teach someone else the process.

Obligatory Not-Staff but- When the massive Sub-Tier Tagging project was going on, there was a notice for users here about what was going on so they didn't try to change things back.
I feel like another giant notice is in order for this, so people don't try to "fix" what the bot changes

Ngl it's a need change in my view. Especially for dense profiles with like 6+ keys.
It'll take awhile sure, but it's always something we can work out and start improving like with scroll boxes or sourcing.

We can automate it actually using MassEdit! I worked it out with some people on dev.fandom and gave the instructions to Promestein to test it. It worked on some imported profiles I tested on a personal wiki.

I might be a bit late but i also agree with this, i've had issues with telling what tier belongs to what key a few times on pages with lots of them and i assume that wouldn't be as much of a problem if i didn't have to scroll to see the keys

Well, we don't know if we will be able to efficiently move the "Key:" sections in an automated manner yet.
Thank you extremely much for the help. You are awesome as always.

So should we place the "Key:" sections immediately above or immediately below the "Tier:" sections?
This seems like a good idea, yes. I just created a notification for DemonGodMitchAubin though, but suppose that I can replace it soon.
Also, we would need to quickly update the following instruction page accordingly:
Standard Format for Character Profiles
When there are multiple versions of a character that are distinct enough to be split into several profiles, whether it is due to the length and complexity of the page or versions from different mediums, then the multiple pages that are created as a result of this have to be linked by a tabber...

Would any of you and/or other staff members here be willing to handle it in that case?

Personally i'd prefer keys above the tier section, tho i don't care that much about where they go since it's such a minor difference

I think it should be below IMO. The tiers are the predominant stat and it feels intuitive to start with them.
- 165,078
- 71,940
Okay. I think that we can probably wait for you to set it up before editing the instruction page in question though.
- 165,078

I personally agree.

Shouldn't we wait until @Promestein has finished with applying the striking strength revisions?
Also, feel free to instruct @Elizhaa , @AKM sama , and @Damage3245 in private regarding how they can help you out, if they are willing to do so.

Keys should definitely be below the Tiers.

We can wait a while for the Line shift Script to have its kinks ironed out, if any are left.
- 18,393

So I have a question, is it optional or mandatory?
- 1,808
- 2,809
What do you mean optional or mandatory?
- 18,393
- 14,311
Keys being below tiers or just at the end of the page? Is it optional or obligation?
- 1,808
- 2,809
I mean, it's probably not in practice yet because the discussion is still ongoing. But yes, this is most likely going to be mandatory. It's a really bad idea to make this just optional, because we strive for consistency, we don't want people putting keys at the bottom of the page, and some just below the tier, that kind of inconsistency is confusing. Also, the Standard Format will be changed accordingly, so I think it is mandatory.
- 18,393
- 14,311
So if I changed now, will it mess up or am I violating rules or what exactly (I am rn working my verse page).
I need to be safe at least.

I am unsure to be honest, since it is still ongoing, maybe you should make the key changes after this has been officially put into practice?
- 18,393

Damn, alright. I will put them back then. Sorry for irritation.
- 165,078

You should wait with any Key section placement updates until we know for certain whether or not such a change can be handled by automated Bot edits.
If it can not be accurately handled by a Bot, we will not allow the change in the first place.
