Vs Battles Terms

[Catzlaflame]

The Vs Battles Wiki Glossary Page is bad.

While the idea of a page that explains vs battle lingo to new members is fine, the stuff in said page is questionable. Why would any member need to know that "Agk" stands for Akame ga Kill ? or that "FE" is an abbreviation for Fire Emblem ? This is not useful.

In contrast though, the page does have useful definitions such as the definiton for "Bump" and "Necro" which are things you often see new members pondering the meaning of.

Taking this into account, I have removed all of the random, weirdly specific information and condensed everything that appears important into a sandbox for the new Vs Battles Wiki Glossary. NOTE: this list is not exhaustive. If there is anything that you would like to suggest please feel free to.

I believe this should be minor enough. Does this seem like a good idea to you all/do you have any other terms that I should include?

 

[DarkGrath]

The sandbox looks good. Much neater, and less arbitrary with what terms are included/excluded. This has my support.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Looks great to me. Though, there are more additional terms to add. PIS and CIS come to mind.

 

[Catzlaflame]

PIS

This is already included actually, It’s in the second tabber

and CIS come to mind.

Thanks, will add this tmr when I wake up.

What about UES or layer?

When a character performs a feat that is generally that is considered way above their usual level of power.

This isn't entirely correct for the Outlier definition. An outlier is just a feat considered outside their usual level of power, whether that's above or below it (though the latter case isn't brought up nearly as often)

I thought to include it, but akaik it is being revised atm.

or layer?

Will include

I took it from the original, so didn’t catch that but yea for sure. Thank you for pointing that out. Will fix.

Oh yeah, I just overlooked it as it wasn't abbreviated. But I suppose Game Mechanics can is another additional one.

You can just say universal energy system and link to the UES page

WoG should be the "term" and "Word of God" should be explanation.

Downplayer and wanker are definitely needed to be added.

Regarding the sandbox itself. Yes, I love the usage of table style and the introduction is neat itself. Great job!

 

[GarrixianXD]

I forgot that page even existed, lol. Anyways, looks good.

"Word of God" is not enough as an explanation since that's just what the acronym stands for

This is not what I meant. The OP switched between abbreviation and explanation in that instance.

All of this should probably be fixed, yes.

I also support the fundamental principle of this revision in any case.

All terms have been added now, and given the staff support, I have applied this. If anyone has any additional nominations for terms feel free to tell me on my message wall.

I believe this thread can be closed now, thank you to everyone that commented.

Isn't wanker a no-no word anymore?

Great work Catz.
