Character Page Cleanup

Arrowverse: Metahumans is basically just a list that is more or less indexed on the other wikia, but it does have general tropes included in it. Is there anyway there could be a new page created regarding features of the arrowverse setting like aliens, metahumans, and magic users? Like a general examples of everything.

Sooooo quick question - Characters.Buffyverse doesn't really operate on the same standard we use now and needs a bit of an update, but that will require quite a few page moves. Among other things, Characters.Buffy The Vampire Slayer Scooby Gang is an index within an index, Characters.Angel Investigations doesn't include the show title, and all of them use their home series as their header rather than the Buffyverse header.~Berrenta, here's my ideas:

Make the Scooby Gang index into the main page and just soft split between current, former, and later additions - based on byte count, Willow should get her own page as well - then Cut List the abandoned pages. Once that's done, just change all of the headers so that they use "Buffyverse" instead of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" or "Angel", though that may require some dewicking. Thoughts?

I'm down for that idea.

"Angel Investigations" does in fact include "Angel", but it should probably be Characters.Angel Main Characters regardless because of the presence of post-Season 4 characters.

Coolio - so just regarding the page shifts, what's easier, I rename the pages and move everything over, or I provide the page names and you move the page with the mod tools? The Scoobies will need to be a manual move on my end no matter what, but the rest can go either way.

And yes, I do realize that "Angel Investigations" happens to include Angel in the title, but that makes it sound like the page is for characters in a worked called "Angel Investigations" - it should've been Characters.Angel Angel Investigations at the very least.

Nevermind wrong thread.

Aquaman is split into pre and post Flashpoint sections when no other DC character page does this. Should they be merged?

Land Games may be beyond saving. The majority of examples are zero-context, and the only edits to the page post-2011 are to remove/replace defunct tropes and formatting.

Transfer any examples that can be saved to the work page and send to the chopping block.

Bit of a different kind of concern: back in July, this bit was added to Characters.She Ra And The Princesses Of Power Catra:

This video [1] provides further insight into her character.

The video linked is an fanmade video essay. This seems rather out-of-place, doesn’t it?

Cut it.

Is Gravestone Of Daisuke Jigen worth keeping, or are we giving it the axe? On one hand, it has some valid examples (a lot of them need expanding or polish), but on the other hand...

It may be bad, but at least its not...

Supernormal Step

Yeah, another ZCE fest. Any volunteers wanna torture themselves?

I'm honestly fine with cutting it - between the bunch of spelling errors and ZCEs (for instance, the first two names are both misspelled - it should be "Yael Okuzaki" and "Queen Malta), the fact that it was entirely edited by a ban evader is honestly just the icing on the Cut List cake.

The character page for Rise (2018) has no tropes on it.

Okay, time to send it to the shredder, then.

Boohbah — more like boo!.... accompanied by a disgusted bah!

Anyway, worth saving?

I don't think so.

I guess there’s no harm in asking this again but here goes. Aquaman is split between Pre- and Post-Flashpoint when no other DC character page does this. Should we merge them?

I mean one of the criteria for having a specific character page is that they have at least 40kbits and/or 6,000 words IIRC. If they don't meet them separately but do together (as in if joined, they both fit the criteria), then merge them.

Once I have access to a computer, I’ll get the byte counts for those. And also, it’s not a character-specific page, that’s why I’m here and not in the other thread.

So the pre-Flashpoint page has 88087 bytes while the post-Flashpoint page has 73662 bytes. That being said, I feel like they could be merged as long as separate character pages are made. For example: one page for Aquaman and his supporting cast, one for his enemies, and maybe one for other characters.

So, I'm not sure what do with Characters.Magical Girl Raising Project. It's currently split into seven subpages, named after story arcs. While I understand why this was initially done, it doesn't make much sense to me to keep them this way. Some of the characters show up in future arcs, and almost all of the pages are less than 10,000 words in length. (I'm not sure what the byte count is for each 'cause I don't know how to get that number.) My idea was to move the content from the subpages back onto the main one. (If I do this, the total word count would be about 36,000.) Thoughts?

Characters.Master Chef Canada has no tropes. It's basically just listing the names of the contestants and their occupations.

Sent a stub notifier.

Okay, so this isn't about one page specifically, but a series of pages:

I have recently discovered certain pages for Friday Night Funkin' mods have character pages. For one reason or another none of the ones I came across were indexed! Normally I'd go through the fanworks page myself and fix it, but there are a lot of fanworks on there, and it's very late. Would someone mind going through all the fanworks pages and checking the ones that have characters page to see if they're indexed?

I've already gotten the ones off the top of my head (Salty's Sunday Night, Mid-Fight Masses, Friday Night Fever, Vs Bob And Bosip, and literally every fnf mod ever) and have gone through the "Full Game Overhaul" section.
