User talk:Walkazo/Archive 6

Status: Busy as always. My weekends are free again, but university still takes up most of my time, so I can't be online as much as I'd like to be. However, if you have any questions about the Super Mario Wiki, feel free to ask away, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Everytime I see your edits, you somehow popped out from the wiki, and then you came back to make a quick edit before leaving. ...Then it repeats all over again. Why? :X I see that your working on the template elimination process. Go Walk! >;D
 * I usually don't have time for more than a few edits these days, so editing some pages out of the blue and disappearing is all I can manage for now. Tonight is the exception: no matter how much sleep it's gonna cost me, I'm gonna delete one of those accursed templates! - Walkazo 00:07, 24 October 2009 (EDT)

Hey Walkazo, you certainly missed a lot of action lately. I hope your feet are warmed up for your doing... how are you doing? 23:45, 10 November 2009 (EST)
 * Yeah, I chose a bad week to catch up on RL stuff. Other than school being evil, I'm doing good. I'll PM you that list of stuff you asked for on the forums a while back when I get the chance - possibly this weekend, but I make no promises. - Walkazo 00:59, 11 November 2009 (EST)

...
Hmph. I see. Pretty suspicious though don't you agree? The fact nothing was done until "I" did something certain people with more power than me didn't agree with? Hm. I think I see what's happened now. I'm not surprised. I could flip out right now, but I'm sure you understand how I must feel. Doesn't seem very fair does it?

Obviously I need to know some things though. Like... what IS going to happen now? What is this site actually going to do with character pages. You pointed out how broke apart they all are. Clearly something should be done to fix everything. You may or may not have noticed the Mario page (and some others) follow a ridiculous standard of making up some sort of chronological order not confirmed by anything. And other pages like the Koopalings are a mess thanks to the idea that equal means cramming everything together in a messy pile. Then, excuse me for being a bit biased, the Daisy page format of things which got it to be the featured article it is today.

Don't you think we should make something happen so that everything won't be so RIDICULOUSLY broken?

As you can see I'm trying to go about this for the good of the site rather than my personal loss of this failure of the mariowiki to support everyone fair power. Maybe if I wasn't so looked down upon this would've ended up differently. But I guess that's straying away from my question.

So? FD09

Well honestly I know the point of reverting my proposal was because of the problems and drastic changes the standard has seemed to have gone through, buuuut, doesn't it seem like a mistake to just end up saying: "We will keep everything the way it is now even though the whole reason everything is in disorder is because we have kept it this way for so long". What we need to do is go through and make a final decision as to how the pages should be set up for characters so that way we have something to work towards on all of them. If I don't have something they should all be set up for then I can't fix them, nobody can. Yes we have a standard but obviously it doesn't suit every page as a whole which is the reason it is so broken. We need to look at what each character page needs then set up the standard so that it can suit each page's differences while making them all similar enough to have a real standard.

I would make a proposal now. but I don't think people are going to understand what is wrong here. Even though they should. The fact my proposal was deemed a problem seems weird when I was trying to make the pages more like one another. So how am I supposed to fix a broken standard when I can't change it? This is backwards and I think you and every other person on this site with power knows it. This doesn't have to take years. It doesn't necessarily even have to take months. Why don't you help me fix this? Come on, it can be easy if we make it easy. FD09

Well well well well well. Hmm. For now, at least, I'm going to figure out a way to set up all of the character pages. I'm gonna try and look at the different ways character pages need to be set up in order to make a standard they can all follow. I know we can't change it now, but I can at least make a plan to make everything right. Still, I'll have to change the pages regardless. Is there like, a page that shows what the current standard is supposedly? FD09
