There's wayyy too many characters in the hax category

I hate that I'm making a thread about categories so soon after the other one but...

There's no reason there should be 81 pages in the hax category. I'm looking at the first page alone and quite a few of the characters in the first page alone don't qualify. It looks like people assume that just having one good hax is enough to qualify. That shouldn't be the case. You don't have to be Reinhard it xourse, but just having spammable timestop like Dio isn't enough.
 
Can't we just delete that category?

It's pointless, and unlike other catogories, instead of organizing characters with specific abilties, it just messes things up.

Even if it raises a standard, what counts as "hax" is very subjective, since it can be anything from just having some minimal level of durability negation, to higher dimensional erasure and crap.

And just look how inflated it is.
 
Why do we even have a "Hax" category to begin with? It seems completely arbitrary.
 
>Iconic Characters

Everyone: "Nah, let's add this, that and everything..." To the point that the discussion got out of control and we just agreed to delete it.

>Hax users

Everyone: Yeah, get rid of that.
 
I can delete the hax category if the rest of the staff think that it is okay.

Speaking of badly handled categories, most of the pages with the Shapeshifting category, should likely really just have the Transformation category.
 
Okay.

It is probably best if you ask Promestein to handle it with her "Promezwein" bot account, since that will hide the edits in the recent changes page, and as such avoid that it is spammed with 1295 edits, so nobody can follow anything else that is going on.

I am aware that I could handle it with my "Kav-bot" account as well, but my tablet only allows me to run one active task at the same time, and I have some other things that I need to do before I go to sleep.
 
So, just want me to fuse the Shapeshifting and Transformation categories? I can do that.
 
No, not at all. I want you to use the bot account to delete the "Hax Users" category:

https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Hax_Users

What I ideally want regarding the other two categories is that somebody preferably needs to go through the "Shapeshifters" category entries one by one and replace all the ones that cannot freely morph into lots of different forms on a whim with "Transformation Users" instead, but that is not realistic.
 
Oh, understood. I can do that. Starting now.
 
Thank you very much for the help.
