User blog:Joe Devaney/Type sections and Similar Villains

I have a couple of things I wish to talk about, though I don't expect to change anybody's minds. Still, I'm going to try anyway.

My first issue is the Type sections. On both this and the Heroes Wiki, people have been insistent on keeping the sections short and concise. I don't get why people think this is better but I strongly disagree. Some characters are simply too complex to be defined by a couple of words, so I believe it is important to list every category that defines a character. I have taken advice and tried to group categories together in order to make things coherent, but it's pretty clear that I and other people have strongly different opinions on what coherent means. I've also noticed that some of peoples' attempts to keep things concise have ended up causing conflict instead i.e. people misunderstanding the meaning of Pure Evil.

My other issue is the Similar Villains sections. It hardly takes a genius to see that they were being abused and spammed to an absurd degree, but I think banning them altogether is a little extreme. Besides, the alternative doesn't even include descriptions as to why the characters are similar, so how is that better?

I think that from now on, people should be allowed to do as they please as long as the rules don't say otherwise. After all, people have tried to enforce the "1 quote per category" rule for years, but even now, there's still people who don't get the picture, in spite of a better alternative being suggested. People shoudl definitely discuss this sometime in the near future.Joe Devaney (talk) 21:22, February 19, 2018 (UTC)
