Self-Demonstrating Character Pages cleanup

Important note:

  • This thread is for discussing individual self-demonstrating character pages. However, it was determined that consensus regarding whether such pages are or aren't necessary or beneficial to the wiki needs to be determined before discussing individual pages, as stated in this mod statement, so this thread has been locked in the meantime. Please join the policy discussion in this thread on the Wiki Talk forum.

    Original post 
So apparently the self-demonstrating page I created for Charizard was deleted. I could somehow sense that the character articles were getting out of hand, but since nobody really had a problem with it I just decided to run with it.

However, this deletion hints that rules should be in place for self-demonstrating character pages, so does anyone have suggestions for what the rules should be?

I have a few:

  • Deadpool has one, no questions asked (even if everyone else's are deleted). Especially Charizard's.
  • The character must be able to speak English (or other intelligible languages), except for Rule of Funny (like with Groot's page). Charizard violated this rule. Kyoko's page is fine since she'd be speaking Japanese, for example, which is simply "translated" for reader convenience (largely based on the official subtitles).
  • There can be a forum thread where people can post their drafts and suggestions for character pages, similar to the Fanon Pokédex. In this case, new character pages can't be started without being reviewed in the thread. This is to avoid having the wiki oversaturated with pages for characters with boring personalities (like Shu Ouma) or ones with strange speech patterns that aren't for Rule of Funny purposes like Charizard. I can just imagine the chaos that would have ensued if other tropers had decided to follow my lead and create Pokémon Speak pages for about 30 other species of Pokémon.

Any thoughts?

We can have Thanos willingly join Makima's group citing how because he lost to Darkseid in death battle he will join her as a way to payback.

[down][down]Depends. Not sure if the IG works considering the crossover nature. Most likely he won’t have it considering that he’s not in the marvel universe so it would be useless. But What If…? (2021) showed it could still work albeit a lot weaker via the stones still functioning outside its universe.

Added lore to Hank Hill's stinger. I'm also thinking Mr. Krabs and The Heavy could qualify for the team if they aren't on ones already (and maybe Slim Shady as well, since he got a page).

as the page maker for slim i say you can go for it

slim would'nt be down with either sides endgame war so he'd definitely just join the team that lets him fuck around

[up] I'll give his page a lore stinger.

BTW, where would the neutral alliance's formation go on the recap page? I already have the titles "Hank Hill: Purveyor of Fine Clean Fuels" and "Jeremy Clarkson: Man of Frightening Genius" ready.

Maybe thinking of finding a Winx Club character to add to the Sandbox for evaluation. Also thought of testing out a potential Jake Long page there (I might do the latter first, actually).

i say go for the latter, jake'd be funny AND danny had a page at some point

I just got the idea to have Palpatine return "somehow" after a Disk-One Final Boss battle with Makima (jk we know he's in the Underworld and would make a deal with Hades to return), have him claim Sephiroth as his new apprentice "Darth Malkuth", have both of them whup Makima's and Vader's asses 6 ways to Tuesday, and have Plankton show up at the last minute to retrieve them just as they're about to be killed for good. Palpatine then reclaims his Empire and becomes the Big Bad and Final Boss, with Hades also calling the shots, while Makima's faction is forced to merge with the rest of Megatron's faction.

Thoughts? It might be good especially if someone volunteers to create a page for Palps (where the FINAL final battle would be later added).

So the story's now at a point where Makima's been able to learn the ALEQ for herself. Contrary to what Megs thought, who said she wouldn't want to go near it? She's the Control Devil, after all.

Fortunately, I have an out planned for the next section: Gojo will use Unlimited Void on Megatron and erase the ALEQ from existence.

On that note, since I don't know Darkseid, would someone be able to help me with how Darkseid would react to this new development? Namely not only Megatron, but two other beings learning it before him, and then Gojo erasing it from existence.

I'm also thinking of having Makima fight Gojo now that she thinks that having it will grant her an advantage. But no matter what, I feel like Gojo should be able to No-Sell the entire ALEQ since it seems like the kind of thing that his own powers would easily cancel out.

Ooooooooooooooooh. I like that one a LOT.

Having Gojo and Makima as the wielders of the LEQ and the ALEQ lets these two incredibly powerful characters reach god-like levels of power while at the same time being able to cancel each other out and keeping things fair for both sides.

ye

plus as for seid, i feel like he'd get more and more pissed about other people trying to take the anti-life equation and the moment gogo erases it he just loses it

dunno if thats out of character or not

Ok maybe on second thoughts thanos decides to just be somewhat neutral and just hangs out.

Like as a reference to darkseid deciding to just chill out while perpetua and the darkest knight were dueling it out in dark knights death metal.

I guess that it's time for the Thanoscopter for the neutral group and said group reports on the events from the helicopter.

Now we could have AI Perch Perkins wanting to join but the neutral group kicks him out because they know of his AI version.

[up]I love that. Come to think of it, Squidward is absolutely perfect for the neutral group, and he could be one of the loudest voices keeping AI Perch out. I WOULD write it as a lore stinger for Squiddy's page, but I'm not familiar with Top Gear or KOTH so I wouldn't write their characters right.

Can someone bring back and redo the Sailor Guardians' pages or at least Usagi's page? Makima needs a new challenge.
