Forum:"Design" vs "Appearances" on Character pages

Forums: Index > The World that Never was > "Design" vs "Appearances" on Character pages

Its been a good while since I last been legitimately on the wiki and I wanna bring up the topic of "Design" vs "Appearances" on Character pages and why this raises quite some problem;

• This was never official discuss anywhere on the wiki on any forum or between any staff member with this changes. As far as I can tell, it was done by random users who changed them.

• "Design", on the wiki, has always been used to describe stuff like Weapons or Creatures; Heartless, Dream Eaters, etc. While "Appearances" were used on Characters.

• "Design", right now, is only used game-original and FF-related characters, while nearly all Disney-related character still used "Appearances". This arbitrary makes no sense in any way.

• This causes a major inconsistency issues on the wiki. As half of pages used them while other still has Appearances.

I'm fairly certain this was discussed on the staff Messenger chat. I'm no longer staff, but my preference is for "Design", as it allows us to incorporate pertinent information on why characters look the way they do."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 19:07, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

I asked on the discord with KSM, TSH, and Ninja, and only Ninja was the one that was aware of such changes being a thing. I'm still more on "Appearances", as thats what the wiki has always been using for pages. UnknownCheisā ^{—— My library ripped me off 5 bucks} 20:14, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
