Smurf is what this entire site uses to describe higher dimensional hax, having the name change would be redundant.

As theglassman12 stated; I don't think its misleading.
Also, I can guarantee you that "smurf" has more importance in battleboarding than the unpopular series you showed in the community of ability indexxing.
It would be only misleading based on which place you are putting it.

Eh, the resistance stuff is not really about smurf, though. Quite the opposite, it's technically about when a higher infinity being can be affected by non-smurf stuff.
I guess something in Bobsican's direction might work better in my opinion. (Although I personally don't mind using the term smurf too much).
Something like "Interaction Between Hax and Higher Infinities" grasps the topic relatively well. (personally I prefer saying higher infinities than qualitative superiority for the title, since its meaning is more apparent to a reader not deep in our jargon)
Sounds ok.

Alright, thanks for giving me an answer, now I can actually process my work tho.

I think "Hax - Higher Infinities Interaction" could work as a title then, it's shorter and stays in line with naming precedents such as the Reality - Fiction Interaction Transcendence page
Thing is that as a wiki we are doing this for visitors that barely know battleboarding in general to begin with (as much most visits are one-offs IIRC), and I wouldn't call a franchise that has lasted over 40 years "unpopular", beyond probably the powerscaling circle.

I agree about that using the term "Smurf" is likely not going to remotely be intuitive for 99% of our visitors.
That seems like a reasonable solution, yes.

BUMP
Should we decide by vote on whether to make a new page or elaborate it on the Hax and Resistance pages?

This thread is about making how qualitative superiority of different types affect hax potency clearer. DontTalk's draft was accepted, and the only thing left to is decide where to put it.

My preferred idea is:
Although some also considered creating a special page for it, which ended up requiring unwieldy titles like "Hax - Higher Infinities Interaction" and "Interaction Between Hax and Higher Infinities".

DT thinks a new page with the title “Interaction Between Hax and Higher Infinities” grasps the topic relatively well, which I am also in the same sentiment.
However, if @Agnaa maintains the opinion that it should be replaced in the other two sections, I have no objections.
He is free to proceed with the replacement.

Hmm. I cannot just overrule DontTalk.

Are you willing to try to reach an agreement here please?

Just a heads-up, DT is fine with @Agnaa's suggestion (if you're both waiting for his input). He's open to creating the page or substituting it in other sections.
Agnaa has the option (and if he chooses, he can) to replace both sections with the page. No one will object to this. It's just that, in my view, having everything in one location would prevent the need to switch between two pages to grasp the overall concept.
So I suppose, the page can be handled by him if we want to conclude the thread.

Sure, I think Agnaa can handle this properly as well. So I will leave the work for him.

@Agnaa @ImmortalDread Should I adjust the draft to one that fits the pages or would one of you two prefer to do it?

Agnaa would be the best candidate to do it, leave it to him.

I recall we agreed on not using the term "smurf" in the pages, instead going with something like "Hax - Higher Infinities Interaction", we already have the Vs Battles Glossary page explaining the term "smurf" in terms of what it refers informally.
In the Hax page, the following:
...could be simplified to:
I think it'd also be worth explaining how Universal Energy Systems fit into this whole stuff, and otherwise instead explain why they don't.

Done.
Hax
Hax is a catch-all term for abilities that can be used to ignore/bypass one or more of a target's statistics, rendering them irrelevant. The most common hax are the ones that ignore durability, and their scale/potency are unrelated to their users' AP & Tier, however, they can be measured with...

@DontTalkDT (I am sorry for saying this), on the resistance part, it is very much messy, hard to read.
I am at my PC with desktop mode and it's completely unreadable. So I would say mobile users will face difficulties.
On the other part, it is fine. Although, I am not fan of how the page is turned on, It's pretty much disorganized to my taste.
I will let @Agnaa judge it, but this is my evaluation. I am very picky when it comes to explanation as they should be professional and organized.

Sure, I would like, but I prefer waiting for Agnaa's evaluation, if he offers a suggestion or has an other viewpoint.
