I could nake a thread on the old forum discussing how we should prioritize CRTs if you'd like. I've thought of doing it for awhile. That said, I'm currently in class, so I won't be able to do it now.

The issue with prioritizing specific CRT's is that some verses that have been meaning to apply simple revisions for the longest time will have to wait even longer because beefier and more important revisions will be given priority over small changes, I don't know a proper way to start this, because I know that many many people have many CRT's they need to get done, I mean pretty much every verse has CRT's that need to get done

Anyway, I am currently waiting for a reply from Sultan regarding how it works when we evaluate whether or not we should accept or reject new members to the forum.
After that, I should probably have enough information to start writing a highlighted migration explanation thread for the rest of our community.
After that has been published, I will need help from the rest of the staff with various very important issues:
1) We need to finish our discussion threads backup project, and then copy the list from it to a pinned and discussion thread in the content revision sub-forum here.
2) In conjunction, we need to continuously close almost all ongoing threads in the old forum, while linking to the migration explanation thread. The exceptions that should not be closed are the migration explanation thread itself, the rule-violations reports thread, the discussion backup threads, and possibly some other thread that we start about the migration process.
3) The members who joined after early May 11 this year will not have automatic accounts here in the new forum, and will have to sign up individually. They will be told to preferably pick identical usernames to the ones they use in the wiki, or extremely similar ones if that isn't possible, and then tell our administrators about what usernames they used to sign up here, so we can accept the legitimate wiki members to sign up to our new forum.
Point 3 is what I need more information from Sultan about.

I mean, small changes are also fine. I would also distinguish simple revisions from major verse wide revisions. If it's just a simple calculation corrections that changes stats slightly, those are fine too. But stuff like "Major verse wide upgrades" or "Major verse wide downgrades" are also things that should be saved for last.

Also, after our members have properly understood how to sign in or sign up to this forum, we will have to start our versus thread links updating project. In preparation, I will have to remove all rollback rights from the dozens of regular members that I have granted them to previously, so we can focus more properly on this single thing for a while, and I do not get too distracted by my regular patrolling work.
NoGround has agreed to give the volunteers for this project temporary Bot account statuses, which will allow them to edit thousands of pages without completely spamming the recent changes page.
In addition, Fandom has now blocked adding any direct links to *************** or manga scanslation sites to the wiki via an automatic content filter, so all pages that contain such links will not be possible to edit until they have been removed or replaced with individual scans from the wiki or image hosting sites, so we likely need to handle this in conjunction, or it won't be possible to edit many of the pages.

Well, the problem is that if we allow content revision threads right from the start, very few people will focus on helping us with getting our absolutely necessary big projects done, and we will drown in chaos before we get things somewhat in order instead.

I understand that, I mean't after getting those first major things done, when CRT's are finally allowed to be made, I feel a "One CRT per verse at a time" rule should be implemented in at that time

Okay. Well, I am not sure how to properly mitigate the upcoming tidal wave, especially as I won't be able to help out with organising them to the same extent as prior to the partial wiki lockdown, due to not wishing to work 14 hours a day 7 days a week again, but one content revision per verse at a time seems rather reasonable.
- 31,461
- 34,321
One Content revision per verse also seems good. But in addition to that, wait before anything major and/or controversial.

Also how will the links to VS threads work in the profiles now? Will we also have to manually switch each and every last one of the links already there with those in the new forum? Is it possible to automate the process with bots, for either of these tasks?

Yes, of course. If people start or reply to ongoing threads, you should all preferably help out with closing them while providing a link to our official migration thread in the old forum.

We only have a few members with Bots with the mass-editing program for this, but the process likely cannot be entirely automated. The program in question can probably search for such links, but they then have to be manually replaced.

You still preferably need to replace that soul-ripping statement with something harmless.

I'd imagine we'd need a total list of pages with said links then, in alphabetical order as well as a project to divide the labor.

@Antvasima can’t we mix some CRT’s for certain verses together if they have some similar upgrades? Just to cut down on the amount of threads that need to be made?

I am not sure if our internal or external link search pages can search for links to our old internal forum, but would appreciate if somebody can test it.

That is probably fine, if they are connected revisions.

You can probably compile multiple topics in one CRT, that's preferably better than doing 3 small CRT's at the same

also how exactly does the report and warning button work? Like, does it notify other staff members or does it ping the user about what they're doing wrong or?
- 31,461
- 34,321
I have a report and a ban button. Not sure how the report button works though.
- 11,135
- 14,120
I think the report button notifies the bureaucrats. Zark used it on herself earlier. You should try reporting and warning someone who is not an admin or discussion mod and see how it works. That's the whole point of staff being here first and testing out things, isn't it.
- 31,461

So does that mean I could test the ban button on a regular user?

Well, I have to write a letter together with AKM sama, that explains the organisation for our migration process, and that will be released after Sultan has corrected some bugs and problems that we found.
Fandom has also blocked the use of direct links to illegal scanslation sites, so we have to update or remove all of them to be able to edit the affected profile pages.
