UPDATE: Purge completed, for now. We've nuked 69 pages (lol). This blog will now be archived.

Folks.

I regret to see it has come this far, but denying it lacks a point: We're dealing with a serious quality problem. One that's tarnishing our reputation like crazy. Over the years, many profiles have been popping up that are either insanely poorly formatted, or that make no sense at all and are clearly aligned.

I don't like doing this, but we're out of options. We WILL enact a full-on purge against all profiles that violate our standards which we will mention soon.

The following profiles are targeted:

1] Profiles that suffer from poor formatting. This includes but is certainly not limited to random bold or italics, Annoying As Fuck Sentences Where Every Word Is Capitalized For Some Reason, Walls of Text with no spacing, profiles full of words that arent capitalized, used or punctuated like their supposed to be or that dont have apostrophes (Only if it's a serious problem), you get the idea. All profiles that look like a C4 exploded in their face are at risk. We do NOT expect you to use flawlessly perfect grammar or formatting — but that's not an excuse to have your pages be such messes that they're unpleasing to read. Here's an example of a profile at risk. I hate to swing with names, but we simply have to show an example of where we draw the line.

2] Profiles that ... just don't make sense and are clearly aligned. "But Wither! What happened to the concept of this wiki? Where you're free to make profiles containing your beliefs?"

Well, my companion: That principle will stay. But as much as I hate doing this, we have to impose restrictions on that regard. Lemme give some examples to support our cause. Without calling names, we have encountered profiles that:

  • Claimed GLaDOS (Portal) had the power to manipulate the fabric of time and reality because she sets a neurotoxin timer in the bossfight
  • Claimed Baldi (Baldi's Basics) to have the power to warp reality and the fundamental logic of mathematics ... because you have to solve the math problems he gives you. Fucking seriously.
  • Claimed that Jevil (Deltarune) and Nightmare (Five Nights at Freddy's) have — I KID YOU NOT. — full and unlimited Omnipotence, or in order words, are essentially as powerful as God Himself, have infinite power, the ability to boundlessly manipulate totality and infinity, and are completely undefeatable because they have the power of Creator Deities. On Jevil's profile, they took it from him "being able to do anything" (Looks like someone took an expression too seriously) whereas Nightmare had no justification at all. Basically, Nightmare and Jevil = God/Allah/Jehovah/Jahweh/{Insert supreme deity here}. What the actual fuck.

Like, come on — Those profiles are clearly biased, aligned, or — sorry for the offence — made by users who clearly have no idea what they're talking about. We have to do something about them.

3] Profiles that are improperly named. Like, c'mon, we've thrown the template into your faces literal billions of times — how hard is it to adapt?!

You MUST name your pages like this:

  • Example (Canon)/LolRandomUser (Standard)
  • Example (Canon, Second Continuity)/LolRandomUser (Other continuity apart from main canon OR fan-made media)
  • Example (Fanon)/LolRandomUser (YOUR fanfiction. EXISTING ANIMATIONS, FAN FILMS, WEBCOMICS AND FANGAMES/MODS, FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME, DO NOT BELONG HERE. ONLY YOUR FANFICTION.)

OCs can go as just their name (optionally story name too).

Examples of how to NOT name your page:

  • Example (Composite)/LolRandomUser / Example (Second Continuity)/LolRandomUser
  • Example/LolRandomUser
  • Example (Canon, LolRandomUser)
  • Gaster (Fanon, Glitchtale)/LolRandomUser ==> As said before, this belongs in CANON, NOT FANON. As soon as what you're covering actually exists, it's automatically Canon. Fanon is reserved solely for fanfics written by YOURSELF on some literature site like Wattpad, FanFiction.Net etc. Hence, the only correct name of this page is Gaster (Canon, Glitchtale)/LolRandomUser.

We admins have spent way too long fixing the messes of users who don't change. From now on, it's enough. Time for action.

All profiles that are not fixed or un-biased by 4 April WILL BE DELETED WITHOUT EXCEPTION OR APPEAL.

Why does this blog have such an enraged feel to it? Because quite frankly, we are.

The naming policies are simple and have been enforced through renames countless times, yet still no one follows them.

We constantly go out of our way to fix messy profiles, only to see the authors repeat themselves only a day after.

The users simply don't learn.

They simply don't.

Hence, we are forced to take extreme measures. If the users consistently and continually refuse to learn and adapt after we fix it for them and set the example at least daily and billions of times, then there just isn't any other card to play other than to go drastic.

From now on, the rules are simple: Biased? Poorly formatted? Or even just incorrectly named? To the trashcan with it. Every single profile that violates our standards, will be immediately, irreversibly and instrantly deleted on sight without exception or appeal and will not in any possible way be restored whatsoever. Period.

Extreme, right? Yep, I know — I don't like doing this either, but we're completely forced to and just don't have other options left. Making users learn it the hard way is the only way to clear our name, solve the quality problem, keep obvious fantasy away, and prevent this wiki from becoming a sloppy dumping ground for messy profiles. Being reasonable just doesn't work.

Tl;dr fix your profiles now that you still can! On April 4, we're gonna do a snap with the Infinity Gauntlet, and follow up with nukes. This is a ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY.

If you have any questions, ASK. If you're unsure about wether your profiles are at risk, ASK. It's entirely up to the users to take the iniative. We will not check your profile or issue warnings without prior requests, so it's completely on you now. All your responsibility. Unless we get questions or review requests, we're just gonna sit here, relax, and on April 4, start the purge.

Wither out.
