{{Xiggie|time=00:55, January 9, 2010 (UTC)|talk=I think that it should be OK to put up information from BBS on various articles, but Spoiler templates should always be used (except for names of items, weapons and such stuff). I think that as long as the information comes from a trusty source (like Youtube BBS gameplay vids), the info from them should be added to the Wiki. I understand that some users don't wanna get spoiled, but I don't think that we should not update any BBS articles until the english release just because of that... Maybe the main articles should stay protected, but the BBS information should be added to here... somewhere... | {{Xiggie|time=00:55, January 9, 2010 (UTC)|talk=I think that it should be OK to put up information from BBS on various articles, but Spoiler templates should always be used (except for names of items, weapons and such stuff).

What I like better about certain notable Wikias is that it is serious in marking whichever paragraph in an article contains a spoiler, kupo, and they rarely employ full protection of articles, kupo. The most protection these articles received are semi-protections, even for high traffic articles, kupo. It is a wonder how they can get by with that, but in the end, it comes down to understanding how wikis work, and it doesn't work with too many restrictions,}} | What I like better about certain notable Wikias is that it is serious in marking whichever paragraph in an article contains a spoiler, kupo, and they rarely employ full protection of articles, kupo.

{{KrytenKoro|I don't disagree with you bluerfn, I just want us to all agree on unprotecting the articles. One of the reasons those wiki's work without full protections is because there is a larger, more active base of experienced editors (if we're thinking of the same ones), and they have put much more effort into ironing out the policies and policing edits.}} | {{KrytenKoro|I don't disagree with you bluerfn, I just want us to all agree on unprotecting the articles.

{{KrytenKoro|Both because no one else seems to care about the protections, and because no one else seems to care about ''respecting'' the protections, spoiler policy, translation policy, or verifiability policy, I've gone ahead and unprotected all of the articles. If even the admins and established users are violating or supporting the violation of these policies, then protections are useless. (Ex: [[Vanitas]], where it is clear the story section was written by someone who had no idea what any of the characters were actually saying) | |||
Instead, I will be aggressively pursuing these policies myself. I will mark or remove material that is unsourced or obviously used without context, as a violation of the fundamental policy of verifiability, and I will be giving warnings to those who persist in readding the information without sources. | |||
Is the situation now acceptable, bluerfn? If there are any other suggestions you had, we should probably implement them now.}} |
