User blog comment:Fredy-san/Cat stats massive change, new wikia feature, and some other stuffs/@comment-26131865-20150828091235

Okay, I'll probably add more later. (Tell me if you can't understand my english)

You have very interesting thoughts, and I share some of yours.

About the pros and cons: I noticed that before, but since our wikia is about a mobile game of tower defence, well... there isn't so much things to said about it, except providing stats. So most of pages are filled with what I call "pointless contents", just because without them, the majority of our pages will be very short. It's tough to deal with it. I agree however with you to the point that they are homogeneous, some were written way before so they are innacurate. Example: "high attack" for a cat which deals 1000 damages at level 30+30 (compared with the 8000 of Paris Cat...). Or they can't be written all alone because if the cat simply cannot touch the enemy because of a low range AND a very long attack animation, its attack doesn't mean anything anymore. We need to focus more of the "strategy/usage" section more than pros and cons.

Maybe we need to classify cat by their "type". Single/Area attack, long ranged cats, those type of things. We could convince about the "when a cat has a long range" for example, by accept that Gross Cat = long range. A while ago in this summer, I talked about a "visual dictionnary" of cats, I don't forget it, I just don't know how to do the pics, with the cropped pictures (with backgrounds) or the official pictures files of games, all whites? Whatever, if we could do this, it would me way more simple to classify cats according to whatever we want.

Another thing to say about the pointless content: the "appearance" section. Basically, if someone can reach the wikia, he/she can see for him/herself the appearance of the cat. If there is some interesting detail to say --> go to the "Trivia" section. Same about the "enemy" section in each enemy page, or the "difficulty" section in each stage. I want to remove me...

For the stats: forget about the +30, +50... Just do Level 20 or 30. All cats can reach easely those levels, so the comparison will be simple. Users don't choose the units alone, but by comparing stats between each similar cat. So the "max max level" and the "max max attack and stamina" a unit can reach with the +XX doesn't matter in this case (I think), the only thing we need to do is compare them at the SAME level. And level 1 doesn't count, because their attack is always low at this state, we understand better at the level max (30+0).

About vandalism: if the community accept to give me the right to ban users, it will be more simple to me. I can "rollback" vandalism because the rollback doesn't appear on the timeline, so each time I need to go to the edit, compare with a older edit, then undo, it's long when there are several vandalisms. Some vandalisms are obvious so --> ban 1 year. I don't have more ideas about this, maybe we could lock some articles...

About recruiting on reddit: yeah, I already though of that. But me, I can't do this, because, imagine the thing: "hello I'm from wikia, I'm just here to said please help us, ok I leave now bybye". I am not a part of the reddit, and I won't, because if I often read the BC reddit, I don't have so much to said here... And users will be really mad if I go there just to require help, unlike you or BattleCate that have a "strong influence". On the other side, I really DON'T understand why there is so much users involved on the reddit, with providing useful stuff, and by the same time saying "wahh the wiki doesn't said this or this or this and it's wrong on that". Why can't they come to here to help with their ideas instead of criticize? If everybody criticize without helping us to improve our wikia, hem...

(And by the way I don't understand your idea of "shortcut". It's to avoid user to go each time on the cat section to search the cat?)

And by the way, I am not "harsh" like my speach seems, I just cannot express myself in a propper english ahah.
