I personally think it's still important to have a neutral and opponents section for each verse. When meeting new friends, I also like to know what things they dislike and what they're mixed about. Plus, IMO it overall show a stronger unbiased impact if an opponent agrees with an upgrade/disagrees with a downgrade. Same with supporters actually agreeing with a downgrade/disagreeing with an upgrade. And neutrals are usually the least biased debaters on average, key word being usually.
I'm not sure why this has to be shown on a public page as opposed to a user's profile. Whether a person likes or dislikes a series is irrelevant to what the Vs Battles Wiki is for, which is powerscaling. You can always ask these people if they dont include it on their profile either, its not something you need to use a verse page for
Being an opponent/supporter of a seriers shouldn't affect the impact of your vote on things at all. What should be counted for is the argument and logic you put, you cant put your name down for free as an opponent just to earn more brownie points and traction. Neutral is the most unclear one on what its meant to be about
Also, what is something that concerns me is a stereotype that people are going to agree with every exaggerated upgrade they see just because they're supporters or agree with every picky downgrade they see just because they're opponents. Or people put themselves as opponents just because they dislike the statistics ratings rather than them disliking the verse for what it is. Supporter IMO just means they enjoy watching the shows/movies, reading the books, and playing the games while opponents means they dislike all those stuff. And neither should have any correlation to their opinions on their statistics ratings, powers, and abilities and/or how much they enjoy debating them within the Vs debating community. Though it is case by case for me, there do exist verses I wrote myself as neutral despite me overall liking it as a franchise more so than one I have listed myself as a supporter. And same with verses I have as neutral despite me overall considering it inferior to a verse I have myself listed as opponent since some verses I give mixed or average ratings I may either add or subtract supporter status due to how great and/or toxic the community is. But I always list myself as supporters for absolute favorite verses and opponents on absolute least favorite verses. There are verses where personally taste in quality wise that is closer to me being a supporter, but toxic community makes me lower it to neutral. And same with neutral quality can be changed to either supporter or opponent based on community. And even verses I consider below average I have listed myself as neutral may be either due to "So bad it's good" status or a surprisingly great community.
Alright but this is the Vs Battles Wiki. It's all about character profiling based on power, and the discussions and main info on actual pages should all be focused on that rather than people using these sections to find friends... Again, this can all be put on a user profile.
And while people arent obviously being those blatant stereotypes (That know the wiki and are aware of it, casual viewers would not know this sentiment), it still provides a negative motive and suspicion for one to believe why they may be against something. Opponents more so, but we've literally amde a 'Knowledgable Members List', thats much less viewed and more annoying to look through than a list people are using to put their personal favourites in.
Basically, the main point of the wiki is powerscaling and profiling based on this. Therefore a section on the verse page should list the people who are most willing and confident to talk about its presence in this regard, not for conversation starters. You can still list your favourites regardless in the section, but theres really no need to put yourself down as 'neutral' or 'opponent'.
However, people can add their name to whatever based what they personally view supporters/opponents/neutral as. Everyone should list their name based on what they see as making them which, but I still personally think they should overall just let their taste in the works of art rather than their taste on the community or VSBW statistics ratings. But of course, no one can force their policy on other people; people shouldn't be going around forcing their name to be changed to opponent just because they have been agreeing with every downgrade they see or disagreeing with every upgrade they see. But all in all, the three things have too much purpose to just get rid of.
So I think we best keep all those sections.
Idk what else to say other than a complete repeat but...
The wiki's main purpose is for powerscaling, Supporters/Neutral/Opponents of this verse, as the section is apparently meant to be people who know the series by its powerscaling. Why are we holding it back from being more efficient, and less biasedly labelled for the sake of trying to find the 'personal favourites' of a user rather than comprehending their stance on how well they know a series clearly. There are many users on Vs Battles Wiki that have made their profile nice and fancy, with all the series they like?
Their purpose in this regard is irrelevant to what the wiki is about, and only causes more confusion on the trustworthiness of a stance on a verse
And heck Knowledgable Members list wouldn't stop that, its just not going to identify to others as 'supporters' (positive), 'opponents' (negative) and Neutral (They...hold no opinion of it? I don't know why you'd need to include this info regardless. If you dont care enough about the verse then you shouldnt really put it there) which can stir a view of someone and their willingness to debate rationally.
