Gesshoku,
Question for this wiki: the titles for certain pages are listed as the cape name rather character's civilian name, but on others it's the civilian name rather than the cape name. There seems to be a lack of constincey between the forum pages. For many characters, the community talks about them as their cape name and doesn't use their civilian name often. I feel like there needs to have a consistent way we adress characters.
For example: Jack Slash, Jacob is not how we refer to him in the community. It's simply Jack Slash. I have never once commented about Jack Slash on: Spacebattles, Sufficient Velocity, or fanfiction.com, as Jacob. I do not think I have seen it either that way. A system clearly needs to be designed towards this issue.
The good news as far as I have seen as that they stick to the page. I don't see people calling Contessa, Fortuna midway through the article. There is some consistency on that. I don't like erratic pages, stick to a pattern.
Personally, I think it makes sense to use the cape name if they have one and for the civilians use the civilian names (BECAUSE THEY AREN'T CAPES). When you have the snapshots on the bottom listed "Grace", "Wanton", and then "Kirk", It looks weird. I would rather have it as: "Grace" "Wanton", and then "Annex"
I do realise that you aren't the reason behind this, often it's faulty users who make mistakes, but there is a lot of room for error in this system and you clearly have the highest authority and dedication in this wiki. I think we need some explanation as a community.

Contessa vs Fortuna

I am changing it back to Contessa, as that is the name that everyone knows her by, her birth name is completely irrelevant, she never goes by it, and so it isn't an alias, as it would be in a normal supers setting. Nor is she simply a "villain" as her actions do a great deal of good in the grey and grey morality of worm's setting.

Ease of Navigation

Hey, just thought I’d let you know that I’ll be going back through your edits, mostly for ease of navigation stuff.

Scion page

Just wondering how we can remove the empty video and image boxes from the Scion page. I tried editting the page but couldn't seem to find them. Thanks! Preceptcaine (talk) 06:18, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Armsmaster/Defiant/Colin

Hola. I'm attempting to set up the Colin Wallis page as an 'ideal example' of a character page. The one thing I'm curious about is if we can make the various chapters under the History section into collapsable sections - they're going to be pretty long, otherwise. Is that some sort of code magic you can whip up? Preceptcaine (talk) 10:31, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

re: colin page

yeah, that's the sort of thing I was meaning. thanks! the only issue i can see with it is that the sections don't appear to be collapsible at the moment. they appear to be permanently extended without any way to collapse them. but that is definitely the sort of thing that will help make the page look a bit neater, i think.

edits

funnily enough, i told myself to set them out how you had when i did the most recent batch and then didn't. noted thuogh! Preceptcaine (talk) 01:29, September 26, 2014 (UTC)

names

one another thing i want to do is to gather an exhaustive list of cape names. while i imagine that the wiki has most of the more prominent ones, i'm going to go back and compile the names of all the capes mentioned during the leviathan arc and other places which might have had a one off mention. the way i see it, we could design some sort of table on the characters page that might be an alphabetical list including cape name, civilian name (if known), power class and whether they are a hero, villain or rogue.

re: character infoboxes

i like it! all it needs is a few small alterations with color and style to be perfect. i've been working on the concept i outlined - the table of hero names and info, something of a all-in-one quick ref. sheet for the status of characters as of the final epilogue chapter. Preceptcaine (talk) 03:36, September 26, 2014 (UTC)

infoboxes

black and grey is good, yeah, and it reminds me a bit of wildbow's scheme. it's more just that it clashes with the blue/white layout the site currently has. the text needs to be more visible, in my opinion, and i'd make the five headings share similar angles to the rest of it. the curves throw it off a bit. maybe white text? Preceptcaine (talk) 06:05, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

reference page

i have not added them! didn't even know that was a thing. :)  i'll get around to it and probably make a note that they're from PRT QuestPreceptcaine (talk) 07:05, September 27, 2014 (UTC)

infoboxes

the new wave infoboxes are probably the best yet. i kind of think defiant and dragon should get green and gold but i imagine they'd come under the guild colors, whatever they are. Preceptcaine (talk) 06:48, September 29, 2014 (UTC)

dauntless

yeah, i know. i was just in a rush and i was going to come back to it. :) Preceptcaine (talk) 21:28, September 29, 2014 (UTC)

Double redirects

Hi, I'm from C (Community Central) to help you out with the broken redirects. I'll see if I can do anything, but first, can you get me a list of pages with broken redirects? anonymoustydtc19:11, October 19, 2014 (UTC)

I've found about twenty-seven double-redirects in total. Would you like me to fix them all or are there specific ones you'd like fixed? anonymoustydtc22:54, October 19, 2014 (UTC)

I've fixed all twenty-seven double redirects. Would you also like the broken redirects fixed? anonymoustydtc23:55, October 19, 2014 (UTC)

To fix the broken redirects, I'll need to know where you'll like to redirect these two pages: Menja, Fenja. anonymoustydtc00:13, October 20, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Creating pages

Yes, I do know what's going on: you're being redirected to a section in the page you're viewing. I've emptied the pages, you should now be able to add your content there. anonymoustydtc00:33, October 20, 2014 (UTC)

lung

hey hey,

i'll try and get some more stuff up onto lung's page but it doesn't look like i'll have time to finish it in that timeframe. however, i can definitely get his page done over the weekend. Preceptcaine (talk) 09:05, November 20, 2014 (UTC)

Gesshoku,

Question for this wiki: the titles for certain pages are listed as the cape name rather character's civilian name, but on others it's the civilian name rather than the cape name. There seems to be a lack of constincey between the forum pages. For many characters, the community talks about them as their cape name and doesn't use their civilian name often. I feel like there needs to have a consistent way we adress characters.

For example: Jack Slash, Jacob is not how we refer to him in the community. It's simply Jack Slash. I have never once commented about Jack Slash on: Spacebattles, Sufficient Velocity, or fanfiction.com, as Jacob. I do not think I have seen it either that way. A system clearly needs to be designed towards this issue.

The good news as far as I have seen as that they stick to the page. I don't see people calling Contessa, Fortuna midway through the article. There is some consistency on that. I don't like erratic pages, stick to a pattern.

Personally, I think it makes sense to use the cape name if they have one and for the civilians use the civilian names (BECAUSE THEY AREN'T CAPES). When you have the snapshots on the bottom listed "Grace", "Wanton", and then "Kirk", It looks weird. I would rather have it as: "Grace" "Wanton", and then "Annex"

I do realise that you aren't the reason behind this, often it's faulty users who make mistakes, but there is a lot of room for error in this system and you clearly have the highest authority and dedication in this wiki. I think we need some explanation as a community.
