And frankly, I don't have a lot to say about the Spoiler Policy itself. We seemed to make it through the ''358/2 Days'' info-glut just fine. Articles were posted, information was corrected, and while some spoilers slipped through, it seemed to work pretty well over all. Is it a huge pain in the butt? Yeah, of course it is. You're talking about allowing anyone access who wants to contribute, from excited kids who just want to contribute ''something'' to seasoned editors who want it done right to jerks who want to ruin it for everyone. In the beginning, especially with translations, articles are going to be a huge mess with information going back and forth, but they will eventually gel into something coherent and correct. They did with ''358/2 Days'', and they continue to. The wiki evolves. | |||
As much as we'd like everything to be 100% perfect when we put it up, it's just not going to happen. People will make mistakes. Rumors will be mistaken for fact, no matter how hard we try. I'll admit I chewed another editor out for this not two weeks ago; I also felt genuinely bad for doing it when he told me he'd gotten the info from a source we usually think of as reliable. The annoying fact is nothing is reliable all of the time; no source or work is perfect. Some error will slip through. Our strength is that when that happens we look at it and ask what we can do to fix it and make it better, and really, that's all we can do. | |||
And honestly, I think there are also still a few bruised egos floating around from the incident with GameFAQs a while ago. Perhaps some editors are trying to prove we are "quality." My question is quality by whose standards? If we had less plot and story info, someone would complain about it. If we group articles in one way, someone somewhere would whine. If we made the entire wiki an amazing 3-D virtual, truly interactive experience, someone would still find something to gripe about. There's a point at which you have to ignore the criticism and do what you feel works best. | |||
For those suffering from tl;dr: We're not perfect, but do your best. It will work out in the end.}} | |||
