I am in the process of trying ot get the word out on an issue affecting several wikis and I'd like you and the other admins here to take a look at it.

You may have have already seen situations with the people who are engaging in what I'm calling "antagonist fussing". It's where people can't make up their mind as to what kind of antagonist a character is, so they continually change it and get into fights about it.

It's something that has been a problem for quite a while on a lot of wikis, but it wasn't until about a month ago that I decided to take a good look at the problem. The result was I wrote a blog and a policy against it for the wikis where I'm an admin. There's also five other pages that provide a more thorough explanation of the ten reasons why the policy was created, the 161 different ways they described Randall Boggs as an antagonist, an analysis of those edits, definitions to show how the words are bieng misused, and examples of what antagonist fussing would look like if two or more people were in the same room talking to each other.

I'd like for you to read at least the blog and the policy and talk it over with the other admins to consider making it a policy here as well. I'm trying to get people to stop using words like antagonist and protagonist on my wikis in favor of using better descriptions that show more clearly what the character does, rather than just a generic sounding "they're an antagonist" description in the opening paragraph on their page.

Let me know what you think about this and if the policy would be useful to you.
