Asking in this thread may be a good idea.

I've got ninja'd.

Sorry, user. Didn't know it was ugh-worthy. I'll stop if you like. P.S. what's ninja-ing?

For every low there is a high.

Ninja'd means when someone was writing, another troper wrote the same thing (or something that made their reply meaningless) before them. For instance, troper X is making a reply, and troper Y is too... troper Y finishes writing it before troper X, but troper X didn't know that, as he was still writing.

So, it's not that self-demonstrating character pages are inherently bad in of themselves, it's just that it's very, very, very easy to go poorly. We really do want to limit the number of new SD-pages. At the very least, each page should have a very distinct voice. Any given Rugrat having a page would be an uphill battle, in my opinion, but having multiple ensures that they won't be unique.

Things with SD pages tightened up after someone created multiple Pokémon pages -and none for the Meowths. So you had only "Pi-Ka-chu!" and such multiple times in a page.

It was highly wince-worthy.
