I don't like how everyone just points to the doc anytime something comes up. The discussion is the fun part. A wiki better not make that even worse.

Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.
Discussions are fine and all, and I love them, but at the same time, if you need a quick reference, a wiki is best. Also, wikis don't make the problem worse. On the contrary, they actually organize discussion more depending on where it's started, whether it be a discussion thread or the comments on a page.

Instead though, in fandom wikis, you keep getting shit like this:
The example you posted is only the case in poorly managed wikis, where edit wars go uncontained. Ideally, that shit should only take place in the Page comments, which is the case in well-managed wikis.
And isn't the TM wiki a good example of a poorly managed wiki?
Besides fixing how it's managed it should also have a new host, wikia/fandom is bad.
Am I still allowed to laugh heartily in the background
Sure man, sure.
wow this sounds familiar
Yeah, but we wouldn't be having this conversation if it wasn't. I was simply pointing out the general state of things in well-managed wikis. We just have to fix that if possible.
Hahahahaha, I know right
Zurvan, agreeing with LeopardBears is dangerous.
Technically speaking, I recently discovered that EGGS is actually doing a much better job managing the wiki lately. It kind of helps that there seems to be an unwritten policy lately that you can't post anything without clearly specifying its source.

Which, I guess, is how wikis are supposed to be run...

It's also usually a good sign when there is healthy mod activity and contention over major edits in the forums section.
unforgivableHowever right after she said this, when Shirou asks what Perseus was like, she insults him by calling him a "successful Shinji."
BL Character Defining Lines
That scene was less "insult" and more astonishment from Rider.
Has someone translated a lot of the sources used in the wiki? Because it has a bunch of sources it cites that are all in Japanese and are blank on the English translation, which I always found weird.
Thats’s a good question. I doubt anyone would object to someone filling in the English, but I would expect that they’ll delete it unless you first confirm with them that you can read and translate Japanese text.

I always found it weird how it would say something about somekne or something, provide a citation numberz and then when you go to the source, find that the Japanese side has lots of information while the English side is blank but for like one word.
Probably someone posted the japanese text on BL or reddit and a random summarized what it said instead of translating it.
Though abandoned, forgotten, and scorned as out-of-date dolls, they continue to carry out their mission, unchanged from the time they were designed.
Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears.
Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
