Board Thread:Wiki General Discussion/@comment-25406802-20190416194420

Hello everyone. I would like to talk about the number of pages there are and the fact that users make pages.

As of this forum message, there are currently 798 pages, containing different information regarding players, YouTubers or levels. Each page are different in complexity, and each page vary on relevancy to the game.

Now, it may seem cool that we as a community site have reached around 800 pages to edit on, but in reality 800 pages are actually a hassle to manage. It is not easy for each staff to manually check each of the 800 pages one by one and managing it would be complicated and practically a waste of time.

We can make pages on numerous different levels by our own will but that does not necessarily mean it is relevant enough to stand as a page. For this reason, I would like to introduce another method before the creation of a page. This method is none other than...

Consultation.

As the word may suggest, any user who wishes to make a page may come and consult with us on which level or player they want to write about, and we will see through the request and either allow or deny it.

The reason for this method does not just have to do with the relevancy of pages, but also at the interval they are made. An addition of a new page without warning is practically sudden and provides more of an unwanted hassle to deal with for the staff. To make it clear, I am not just the only staff that feels this way, but practically everyone else. For this reason, we will be conducting this movement of consultation.

If you make a page without consultation of staff, you risk deletion, unless the player or level is reasonable enough to stand and at least one of the staff verifies it for staying. This risk of deletion has been there before the establishment of this forum, since we staff are responsible for the deletions of pages for a variety of reasons, be it spam or irrelevancy. I'm simply reiterating this so people can know.

If your page gets deleted, please do not come to us staff with a negative expression or slander or insult us in any way, as we will most likely not revive the page. If you wish to appeal, do so, but don't use it as an opportunity for criticizing us staff for doing our jobs. We are 7 people, and it is not easy to manage an entire wiki, let alone 800 pages (which is kind of a headache).

All in all, please speak with us before making a page.

Thanks.
