How this wiki works
IMPORTANT: This wiki is not meant to in any way rip off VS Battles.
VS Battles is a different sort of wiki. It indexes stats and skills of fictional characters as an organization. See VS Battles Wiki for more info about the subject.
The point though, is that barely anyone agrees with VS Battles. The community may refuse their Upgrade, Downgrade or Addition/Removal attempt(s). But what if those people really want to spread their opinion? They can. Here. Here, everyone can create profiles how they see them fit.
Fanon profiles and profiles that don't (yet) exist on VS Battles - or never will - are also welcome here, but you must come here for characters you can't make before starting. As well as read the rules, obviously.
Each character has two pages: "<character name> (Canon)" and "<character name> (Fanon)". Canon's for the mainline and/or official version(s) of the character(s), fanon's for your fanfictional version(s). In addition to that, there can also be pages for semi-canon characters (= characters in fanmade products [fangames, ROM hacks, YouTube series] based on existing products], but they must be marked with this template. Joke profiles are expected to have this template.
The actual pages are in fact disambiguation pages. To make your version of the page, create a page like this:
"<character name> (Canon)/<your username>" or "<character name> (Fanon)/<your username>" and BAM! Congrats, you did it.
IMPORTANT: You are obliged to add your profiles to the disambiguation pages. You MUST.
Rules
1: No flaming, trolling, cybermobbing or digital bullying. Based on the severity of the violation, a warning or immediate week-long block can be issued.
1.1: Derogatory terms like fanboy and wanker are generally frowned upon here--avoid using them. They are not an actual argument nor are they constructive. It is understandable if an accident happened, so no major punishment will be dealt out right away. Continuous violations will result in a warning, then a ban of ranging magnitude.
1.2: Racial slurs and discrimination will not be tolerated. Your first offence will result in an immediate month-long block. Second offence will be five months. Third, a full year. Fourth, well, it's four strikes and you're out, right?
Examples of intolerable behavior: Use of racial slurs (Examples are disallowed by FANDOM's Policies). Also, sexism ("she's stupid because she's a woman!"), racism ("he's black, so he doesn't deserve common courtesy"), other discrimination ("oh look, he's from Turkey, he doesn't deserve rights" or "Hinduism, the biggest bullshit on Earth"), etc. These examples are fairly dumbed down -- a lot of these problems are harder to spot than this.
2: Do NOT maliciously edit other people's pages. On this wiki, you have the right to make your own page--so do NOT ruin another's hard work. You can collab on a profile, in which case those who collaborated are welcome to edit it. It should be noted that in the event that a profile you see has a typo of a word that isn't an inverse proper noun or some sort of formatting error you are free to fix that for the owner, however, to "fix" a page because you disagree with it is heavily frowned upon and will be met with punishment. Furthermore, deliberate pure vandalism is absolutely prohibited, and users engaging in such activities will be punished as we see fit.
3: Sexual harassment and sexual themes are not allowed here. Pornography will be deleted upon discovery, and a warning will be issued. After that, no warnings, and a two week-long block will be issued. Further violations will result in a permanent ban.
4: Do NOT blackmail. You know what you're doing--no warning will be issued. You will immediately be blocked for four days. The severity will climb as necessary.
5: Do NOT shit-post on forum threads. Don't shit-post on other people's pages either. A small "Cease & Desist" will be delivered on your doorstep upon violation. Another warning will be issued before action will be taken--three day-long block.
6: Have some class. Have at least a little grammar and sentence structuring skills. This isn't just a rule, but a warning--you can be ignored, or even manipulated if you're not skilled with English. If you have no ability in developing proper sentences, then you're setting yourself up to:
- Never be understood
- And likely be ignored
At least try to pass your English class.
7: Ohhhhh man... Sockpuppets. If used for fun--you will experience no punishment, and it is perfectly acceptable.
If used to avoid a ban, you'll receive a permanent block on your sockpuppet, and your original account will suffer as well. If your main account was permanently blocked, your IP address will be blocked altogether.
If you were banned for a finite amount of time, we'll double your block time. For example, if you used the sockpuppet to come back and repeat doing what you did, and your main account was banned for a month, then your sockpuppet will be permanently blocked and your main account's block will be raised to two months.
If you came back to do something truly awful, such as discrimination, then we'll use exponentiation to determine your new block time.
8: Cursing/Cussing IS allowed. However, utilize it with some control. Don't go full-caps rage mode with two cuss words every sentence.
Example: YOU MOTHER-FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! YOU CAN GO DRINK SOME FUCKING BLEACH, YOU BASTARD!
That will get an immediate warning ensuing the violation. Continuation of such behavior will result in punishment. Speaking of which...
9: Threats towards someone's life like "Drink Bleach" or "Hang yourself" aren't funny. No warning. You don't know what people have gone through--that can legitimately kill someone without you knowing; it's not some joke. Don't do it.
If you do, you will immediately be blocked for two weeks. Second violation will be two months. Third, you're outta here for six months. Fourth, and you're outta here, period.
10: No Religious profiles. Religious profiles create enough controversy and hostility between people.
11: Always give credit to VS Battles if you copy their powers and abilities/maintenance pages. "How do I give credit to VS Battles" you might ask? Copy this: {{VS Battles}}. Then paste it onto the Abilities/Information pages on top of the pages in Source Mode then click publish.
12: That being said, this wiki is meant for profiles that differ from those from VS Battles or other VS wikis, don't exist there or are fanon. So don't make perfect replicas of the profiles from other VS wikis. There's no point in doing so. Plus, we've already been accused of having copied VS Battles and received a threat of our wiki being potentially shut down if we continue doing so — so don't worsen the situation. We're trying to keep our affiliation with VS Battles a friendly one. Simply don't make 100% identical carbon copies of their profiles. Just don't. SIMPLY DON'T. They will likely be deleted upon sight. (This also applies to sites like VsDebating, Omniversal Battlefield, CharacterRealms, DebatesJungle, Character Ratings and Profiles)
13: A rule for Fanon profiles. 1-A , High 1-A, 1-S are extremely boring and, in a way, uncreative tiers. Don't rate your fanon profiles as such if the character was never at that level. For the characters that are realistically at that level, you can put them there. But for someone who isn't beyond the concepts of space at all, don't rate them as such. (This does not apply to fully original characters)
14: Another rule for Fanon profiles. Make their hax make sense. For example: A 3-A should not ever have Omnikinesis, Ultipotence, Type 0 Immortality, Unrestricted Murdering, True-Godly Regen, etc... Don't go way overboard with the hax to make them an unbeatable Mary Sue. Have some control, but still have fun with it.
15: On the topic of plagiarism. If you steal large walls of text, or anything of the sort from someone without permission, credit and the like, you will first be warned. Stealing someone's work is not to be tolerated, especially without any credit towards them. Second violation will be a ban of two weeks. Third violation will be a ban of a month. Since plagiarism is such an issue, the fourth violation will be a permanent ban.
16: A rule for Semi-Canon profiles. No fanon-to-canon scaling, at all. What this means is you can't scale Super Mario Bros. Z Mario to canon Mario. Even if they're in the same timeline or went through the same games, If they're that strong, they'll show it. Another way to think about it is that if your semi-canon character is just scaling off of canon you might as well just make a canon profile. So, no matter what, absolutely NO fanon-to-canon scaling.
17: A rule towards trolls. We can't be lenient towards everyone; within the first week of being here, you're considered a "new user." New users will be at a higher risk than older users; if you seem to be nothing but a troll, you will be given one warning, and that's all, before you are permanently blocked. Behave yourselves for the first week, prove you're not a troll, and you'll abide by the previous warning system established above.
18: Incorrectly named profiles will be unconditionally deleted. The source code will be acquired and backed up in Source Dump so you can recreate the page with the correct name.
Simply put:
- The ONLY CORRECT TITLE FORMAT is
Character Name (Canon / Fanon)/Your Username
. You may optionally include a comma and either a continuity / series or Composite in the parantheses if your profiles only focuses on one version of the character or all of them. You may not omit the parantheses or put your username within them.
- Fanon is reserved solely for your OWN original fiction. It is NOT MEANT FOR ACTUALLY EXTANT FAN WORKS, like fangames. As soon as what you're describing actually exists on the Internet or elsewhere, it's unconditionally Canon regardless of wether it's official, licensed or fan-made. No exceptions. For example, if you're writing Mario from Super Mario Bros. Z, it's Canon. Why? You are not the creator of SMBZ − said series exists as a fan-made Flash animation. Therefore, it's Canon, because it actually exists and isn't your own fan fiction.
- If your character is Composite, you must mark them as such. The same goes for continuity versions of a character. E. g.
Sonic the Hedgehog (Canon, Archie Comics)/Your Username
orSon Goku (Canon, Composite)/Your Username
.
- Profiles of non-character content, such as specific weapons, worlds, dimensions, etc., are permissible.
