Thats fine then, but if they dont contribute then they shouldnt put their names down tbh. We wont get major traffic of people who wanna sign their names down, they should expect to be asked questions or to go into threads. Just think the name doesnt need to be too long, but its up to everyone else

Something less wordy for the title, perhaps, but otherwise that's fine.

@Promestein @AKM sama @Elizhaa @Damage3245
Would any of you be willing and able to handle this replacement process via Bot accounts?

Agreed, I don't see any point for creating a section in the verse page.

What about this post suggests they're against the section being made?
- 18,393
- 14,311
This perspective posits that staff members remain steadfast in their desire to retain the aforementioned section, irrespective of any counterarguments or objections that may be raised.

Pretty sure they're just talking about whether 'Contributing' should be in the title, to clarify only to put your name if you know the series and are willing to contribute
Unless im mistaken

Honestly I am more in line with this. Get rid of the Knowledgeable Members Page and merge it with the verses individually. No muss, no fuss.

Yall might as well just say "scalers" and call it a day

Better than Knowledgeable Members being the overarching term for verses instead of supporters

Deadass
There's a bunch of verses I support, I don't know shit about em
There's a bunch of verses I know everything about, wouldn't call myself a supporter
Knowledgeable Members should be a term for people knowledgeable about a verse, not for people who scale it in general.
All cause I know the plot of DBZ and I know that Gohan could whoop Cell, doesn't make me a knowledgeable member

I believe Ant suggested making it “Knowledgable and Contributing Members” or something along those lines, perhaps that would be better?

I can roll with that
- 21,143

Contributing should be one, and maybe another tab for knowledgeable
Cause we do actively look at knowledgeable members to find who to call to CRTs

Well, the three requirements should be that the listed members are registered in our forum, that they are willing to help out in content revision threads here, and that they are sufficiently knowledgeable to make themselves useful while doing so, so those requirements should be listed in the titles of this type of verse page section.

Well, I think that AKM told me that it should be fine if we allow Bot account rights to be given to your extra account and one that JaRB can set up, respectively, but you both obviously need to be extremely careful and ask Promestein for instructions before you start.
Is that what you mean with adequate instructions?

Yes. Strongly agreed.
Would you be willing to give proper Bot mass-editing management instructions to Dereck03 and Just_a_Random_Butler please, @Promestein ?

I have some experience using bots, so I'll just link the main guide here, but beyond that its usage is quite trivial for changes of this kind, you just insert (case and space sensitive) text you'd want to change (you can also list multiple variants so they get changed accordingly as well), then what it'd be changed to.
You can even make the bot so it previews changes per page before actually applying the edit, and so you can monitor that nothing goes wrong and edit particular cases manually directly in there before clicking the publish button and continuing.
Also, just use AutoWikiBrowser, anything else is for fancier stuff that won't really be used here.

@Just_a_Random_Butler @Dereck03 @Elizhaa @Damage3245
Would you all be willing to set up Bot accounts if you do not have them already, and to receive Bot management instructions from Promestein afterwards? And would you be willing to instruct them, @Promestein ?

I think I have already made my instance clear, I am willing and I have already talked to you, but I have not received the administration perms nor the Bot perms nor the necessary instructions.

Yes, my apologies. I have been waiting for confirmations from the others as well, so everything can be handled at the same time.
@Just_a_Random_Butler has also accepted to create a Bot account, and @Damage3245 may also have done so some time ago. I do not remember so well.
Also, @Promestein seems to have accepted to give all of you some basic instructions regarding how to properly use the AWB browser afterwards, but I would prefer if you all genuinely know what you are doing before your start mass-editing.

@Just_a_Random_Butler
Have you created a new account that can be given Bot user rights?
@Damage3245
Are you willing to create one as well?
@Elizhaa @AKM sama
Are you willing to receive instructions from @Promestein regarding how to properly handle such a Bot account for mass-editing with AWB?

Not currently. I'm too busy IRL to commit to that. My time on the forum is limited already.

Okay. No problem. Thank you for your reply. 
@Dereck03 @Just_a_Random_Butler
Are there any other content moderators or administrators that you think are sufficiently highly experienced, meticulous, hardworking, and responsible to be able to properly handle a Bot account?
