Suggestions for new rule additions

[Antvasima]

Hello. I hope that you are all well.

I wonder if you would all consider it acceptable to add the following text near the start of our Site Rules page:

==='''Be Kind'''===
This is supposed to be a nice community where all of our member try to be considerate and respectful to each other, to collaborate and have fun together in a safe environment. Do not be toxic, mean, or abusive to other members.

Also, what are our standards regarding "Resistances" sections in our character profile pages? To me it seems redundant to link to that page over and over for every ability when the "Resistances" nature has already been stated at the start, but maybe it would sound like the characters have the listed powers instead of being resistant to them otherwise?

What do you think?

 

[SamanPatou]

The first is perfect to add yes.

About the second, I'm fine with removing the first link in case of specific tabbers for resistances. Maybe we could keep the To before the ability, to keep things clear.

To avoid linking to the same page over and over again, I set up Acacia's page like this:

Being in a separate tab and having "Resistance to;" at the top of the page makes it look clear enough to me.

I've used similar formatting.

That looks much better, yes. Thank you.

Should we write that down in the following page?

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...

vsbattles.fandom.com

And possibly here as well?

Resistance

Resistance is the power to withstand the effects of certain abilities through varying means. The highest degree of resistance is outright Immunity, supposedly making the user in question completely unaffected by such abilities. Of course, simple resistance to one showing of an ability isn't...

[KLOL506]

I just do it like this:

"Resistance to the following:"

If there is a Limited or Possible Resistance, I just say "Limited Resistance to" or add a "Possibly"

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

The first rule is agreed by me.

For the second, I think we can simply add, "All previous resistances" before mentioning the rest that are new to a specific key (And beyond).

1. Being kind is fine to add, no complaints.

2. I tend to just write "Resistance to [every resistance with separate explanations]", thus only linking to "Resistance" once.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you very much for your replies. I will apply the new Site Rules then.

We can continue to discuss here how to write new guidelines for the "Resistances" sections in our wiki's character profile pages, and I have invited @ImmortalDread to help us out with that task in this thread .

 

[ImmortalDread]

I fixed the following text:

==='''Be Kind'''===
This is supposed to be a nice community where all of our members try to be considerate and respectful to each other, collaborating and having fun together in a safe environment. Do not be toxic, mean, or abusive to other members.

It is minor, not much of a significant modification.

As for resistances, I have prepared this:

The relevant section in Standard Format for Character Profiles is Powers and Abilities Formatting, we can add a sub point in the fifth point since this case is only relevant to tabbers, I suppose.

5) a. (Mandatory: To maintain clarity and prevent excessive repetition, it is advisable to create separate tabs for related content and prominently display the heading "Resistance to;" beneath the tab "Resistance". This practice effectively communicates the subject matter without the need for repetitive linking. When encountering limited or possible resistance scenarios, the phrasing can be adjusted to "Limited Resistance to" or "Possibly Resistance to" as appropriate. This approach streamlines the content presentation, ensuring that the term "Resistance" is linked only once, with detailed explanations provided for each specific type of resistance. See successful examples of this here and here.)

I included the word “Mandatory” in the draft because we are making it a requirement.

May I get some good examples (profiles) for this thread that presents this?

@Damage3245 and @Firestorm808

So I can link it in the end of the sentence.

See successful examples of this here and here.

Regarding the “Resistance” page, I am uncertain whether additional text should be included, as this page primarily serves as an explanation of the concept of Resistance, rather than a guide for formatting.

Thank you. I made a small adjustment:

That mostly seems good to me, although perhaps we should mention that multiple instances of "Resistance to" and "Limited Resistance to" should be grouped together in the following manner?

Resistance to:

• Ability 1
• Ability 2

Limited Resistance to:

• Ability 1
• Ability 2

I would also appreciate community help with this.

Okay. Never mind about that then.

 

[Antvasima]

See here for a possible workable solution:

[ImmortalDread]

5) a. (Mandatory: Upon creating a dedicated tab for resistance-related content, it is unnecessary to repetitively use the phrase "Resistance to" for every ability within that tab. By implementing a clear and distinct heading such as "Resistance to;" beneath the resistance tab, the context is sufficiently established. When detailing various resistance levels, such as limited, possible, unconventional, or likely resistance, it is recommended to group them together in the following manner:

[[Resistance]] to:

• Ability 1 (sufficient Explanation)
• Ability 2 (sufficient Explanation)

Limited [[Resistance]] to:

• Ability 1 (sufficient Explanation)
• Ability 2 (sufficient Explanation)

Possible [[Resistance]] to:

• Ability 1 (sufficient Explanation)
• Ability 2 (sufficient Explanation)

Unconventional [[Resistance]] to:

• Ability 1 (sufficient Explanation)
• Ability 2 (sufficient Explanation)

Likely [[Resistance]] to:

• Ability 1 (sufficient Explanation)
• Ability 2 (sufficient Explanation)

This practice eliminates the need for excessive repetition, ensuring a concise and well-organized presentation of information within the resistance tab. See successful examples of this here and here.)

Is this acceptable for you?

• Agreements: @Elizhaa, @LordGriffin1000
• Neutral: @Antvasima (regarding standard text formatting is for "Likely", "Possibly", and so onwards.)
• Disagreements: none

 

[Antvasima]

That seems good to me, yes. Thank you for helping out.

What do the rest of you think?

 

[ImmortalDread]

That seems good to me, yes. Thank you for helping out.

What do the rest of you think?

I updated the post to align with your suggestion

 

[Antvasima]

It mostly looks very good to me, but it likely deviates too much from our standard formatting in powers and abilities sections to use bold text for "to:"

I am also uncertain what our standard text formatting is for "Likely", "Possibly", and so onwards.

 

[ImmortalDread]

It mostly looks very good to me, but it likely deviates too much from our standard formatting in powers and abilities sections to use bold text for "to:"

Oh, true. Looking from Damage's post, we don't bold "to:". I will remove it now.

I am also uncertain what our standard text formatting is for "Likely", "Possibly", and so onwards.

We need more sufficient input from staff members, then.

I will update the draft to match Damage's example.

 

[Elizhaa]

The rule seems fine.

It seems fine.

Same with me.

To avoid linking to the same page over and over again, I set up Acacia's page like this:

Being in a separate tab and having "Resistance to;" at the top of the page makes it look clear enough to me.

This works to.

 

[ImmortalDread]

Same with me.

Just a note that I made a small modification to our new rule section, in order to better underline what kind of community that we want to maintain here:

@IdiosyncraticLawyer

Thank you for helping out, but the phrase "See successful examples of this here and here." does not actually link to any examples within our wiki explanation page, so that needs to be fixed.

Also, Dread's entire explanation text was not included:

Dread's explanation text's syntax doesn't work well with that page's syntax, so I had to change some minor formatting to get it to work, and I also linked the two examples brought up in this thread. Can we close this now?

I made a minor formatting correction, but except for that your changes look good.
