Well for Scarlet Witch the last move was just a page rename to go with a new style.

For Sylvie, yeah it's a giant pain in the ass continuously moving her page. I'd have liked to keep it a CSP. Hopefully the news rules favour more CS Ps.

It's gonna be fun on the bun!

My point is, when we move pages around all the time, it's difficult to search through edit history (for instance, to check that you are not edit warring).

It would help if we explicitly wrote in the edit reason where we move the pages/sections and what the source page is when we do move them. Otherwise just finding the previous page requires a full-on investigation smile

Also, I've done this for future reference: one, two.


Edit: I merged MCU: S.H.I.E.L.D., Shield Leadership and Strategic Scientific Reserve pages. The new page is 163,859 bytes long. I fixed all links.

Splitting off Daisy Johnes - yay or nay (MCU: S.H.I.E.L.D. – Team Coulson is at 230k with her, her section is 57k bytes long)? Was this merge discussed?

For the Team Coulson page, we could make a sub page specifically for the founding members.

Here's a Sandbox

What about this page?

MCU: Others: 35,408 bytes (too short)

  • Index etc - 700 bytes
  • Meta (Stan Lee & Kevin) - 17,905 bytes => move to MCU: Deities ? (147,9k bytes)
  • LMDs - 4,658 bytes: move to the respective character sections (idk, just put those at the end of the sections)?
  • The Framework - 12,130 bytes: ??

Stan Lee wasn't exactly a deity (since he worked for the Watchers and, y'know, died), and K.E.V.I.N is a robot. Not sure where else to put them though.

Other is other for a reason. It shouldn't matter if it's too small, it's the leftovers that have nowhere else to go.

Also we had decided awhile ago to remove LMD's from characters page and not treat them as variants.

The framework is just a virtual reality. I guess they're variants, but idk. That's why they are there.

Can't we just add the Infinity Stones to that page so that it'll be long enough?

[up] The Infinity Stones were removed from character pages for a reason. They might be alive in some form, but they don't have anywhere near enough characterization tropes to need a folder.

[up] Actually, they do. And there was enough consensus to restore their character folders, hence why they're there now.

The Infinity Stones are currently on the MCU: Cosmic page, but personally I'm not sure it's the right page for them. Putting them back on the MCU: Others page would solve the problem.

During the discussion here, it was debated whether to add back the Infinity Stones to either the Cosmic or Others page. I made a judgement call to add it to Cosmic since they're definitely cosmic in nature, but it it's more practical and it's agreed upon to transfer it to Others, I will do it.

For the record, I'm strongly opposed to them having a character sheet. They don't have enough characterization, they are treated as objects narratively and almost all of the tropes listed are in regards to things that happen to them or reactions other characters have. We don't make character sheets for inanimate objects.

It was discussed in this thread that the Infinity Stones fit the same criteria that weapons such as Stormbreaker, Mjolnir and the Necrosword that are enough to classify them as having enough characterization to get their own characterization folder.

I don't have a strong opinion on whether they should have character sheets (maybe?). I'd rather keep them on the Cosmic page.

I think I agree with GateStarX, let's just leave MCU: Others be as it is for now.

Anyone willing to sort out MCU: Criminals & Terrorists? That's the last page below 40k bytes left (not counting MCU: Others).

Could you do it, please? I don't know most of these characters, I'm afraid to mess things up :-)


Edit: I recreated the page: MCU: Daisy Johnson (now 57,4k bytes). The editor who moved the contents to MCU: S.H.I.E.L.D. – Team Coulson (now 172,6k bytes) didn't bother updating the links back then, so there is no need to change them now smile
Updated today:
    Pages with more than 180k bytes 

    Pages with less than 50k bytes

Edit: Why is Love on MCU: Other Superheroes? I'd rather move her to MCU: Asgard (Allies of Asgard).

Since she's basically Thor's adopted daughter at this point, you could also put her on the Families page
