User:Necrotifice

Hey, prospective reader of my personal page! . I first started using the wiki sometime back in 2017, but I haven't actually gotten started with it in proper until now (August of 2019).

I'm a tabletop gamer, writer, and cybersecurity professional.

Remember that though we might disagree on the writing of a power or something fundamental, I probably don't dislike you as a person. Nothing I'm saying in regards to editing the wiki is meant to be personal, and you definitely shouldn't feel bad because I disagree with you - I disagree with lots of things, and I love lots of things that I still criticize! :-)

Everything on this page should be taken as my opinion or thought alone - these are not necessarily ideas I act on, and I wouldn't ever make major changes without some kind of community/admin backing.Think of them more like initiatives I'd like to see passed than rules I'm ready to enforce.

My Favorite Powers!

• Friction Infringement
• Multi-Directional Facing
• Directional Manipulation
• Velocity Swapping
• Osteokinetic Whip Generation
• Electricity Manipulation

To Do/Priorities

The Trello (https://trello.com/b/lkkvuShS/superpower-wiki) will have a full list of ongoing problems and projects, but this is more my personal to-do.

• Standardization!
  • Remove all of the very very specific variations of the X Attack powers.
    • Beam, Bomb Generation, Blast, etc.
    • We can just make them into a thing on the page for that Attack power. We don't need to have every conceivable variation of attack be a separate page. At most they deserve a mention on the other pages.
  • Rename/redirect relevant "Mimicry" to "Physiology" or vice versa. Just make it standard!
    • Specifically, I think the term "Physiology" should be used to mean powers/forms that make you like a type of creature (Dragon Physiology, Bear Physiology), while Mimicry should be used to reference powers that give you a form that is like an object or part of a being (i.e. Hand Mimicry, Candle Mimicry).
• Universal Tiering!
  • The information that goes onto the Category page needs to still be formally written up.
• Change the Candidate for Deletion template to be more like the others.
  • Also, create a Candidate for Userspace template for powers which are still valid creative ideas that we should userspace. Then CfD will be reserved for powers that actually violate the rules.
• Make an editor's hub page that we can put into the Contribute! drop down on our navigation bar.
  • Working on that now, the prototype can be found at User:Necrotifice/Sandbox2
• Calling Powers - a further look is necessary.
  • Only the Enhancement Calling powers are particularly problematic.
• Empowerment/Affinity powers - are horribly written and have very little info on most of them. These are borderline stubs.
  • These are actually all Traits. They need to get turned into Traits.
• Cosmology Examination:
  • Aether, Mana, Chi, Quintessence. What even? How do these relate, and is the wiki making assumptions about these forces? We need to purge reference to a specific canon/invented cosmology to attempt to be neutral.
• Benefic and Malefic energies are less known names than Positive/Negative, why do we call them that?
• Examine the following pages for suitability on the wiki:
  • https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Letter_Manipulation
  • https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Life_Aspect_Manifestation
  • https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Peak_Human_Beauty/Enhanced
  • https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Definition_Inducement
  • https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Planetary_System_Manipulation
  • https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Deity_Lightning_Manipulation
    • Different from Divine Lightning how?
  • https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Vibration_Whip_Generation
    • Any valid KU's? Only user has whip that generates Vib, not an actual whip made of vibration
  • https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Eternal_Virtue_Inducement
  • https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Emotion_Blade_Construction
  • https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Instant_Angular_Momentum
  • https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Rarity_Manipulation
  • https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Axis_Manipulation
  • https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Springy_Movement
  • https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Fish_Magic
  • https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Reactionlessness
    • Does anyone have this power as it's defined?
  • https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Otherness_Manipulation
  • https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Femininity_Manipulation
  • https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Masculinity_Manipulation
  • https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Data-Telekinesis
    • Good power, but it should just be a heading in Telekinesis the indicates how it is different from Telekinesis.
  • The Companionship Powers - are Companions powers?
• Powers Aren't Skills!
  • Look into Intuitions - these have been radically misused. They are supposed to be having knowledge without practice, education, or training. People have been using them as "Someone is good at this thing".
  • Proficiencies are... questionable in nature. Technically they are valid if interpreted as mastering an ability completely as a sort of Peak Human ability, and maybe they should actually be re-written and possibly even re-named to reflect their nature.
• Make a template for the new Traits and Archetypes!
  • Archetypes Template: User:Necrotifice/ArchetypesSBox
    • Done, implemented
  • Traits Templates: User:Ncrotifice/TraitsSBox
    • Done, implemented

Useful Links:

• Special Pages (for editing):
  • Special:LonelyPages
    • Pages that aren't well integrated and need to be linked into the wiki. Links should be made to them, and they should link to other pages better.
  • Special:FewestRevisions
    • Pages with the least development - very few revisions. These need to be reviewed, and added to if they are found worthy
  • Special:Withoutimages
    • All pages for powers should, ideally, have at least one image.
  • Special:ShortPages
    • Probably need to be expanded on.
  • Special:WantedPages
    • Be careful with this one because a lot of them are references to pages that got moved, typo'd pages, etc. But some of them are actually links looking for a page that doesn't exist, so those MIGHT be worth looking into.
  • Special:UncategorizedPages
    • Pages should never be uncategorized. I will cry if they are.
• Special Pages for Content Moderation:
  • Special:UnusedCategories
    • An unused category has typically been empty or useless, and is a likely candidate for speedy deletion.
  • Special:SpecialPages
    • For all of them, but I'm just gonna list the useful ones for editing here
  • Special:WhatLinksHere/<PAGE>
    • Show you all of the links that go to a specific page.
  • Special:CategoryTree
    • Helps to visualize the hierarchy of existing categories.
  • Special:Categories
    • Just a list of every Category page.
  • Special:RecentChanges
    • See what's happened recently.
  • Special:Statistics
    • Just generally useful

Sandbox Desert

This is a section for sandboxes that I am creating to house things I am working on. Sometimes there's just a bullet to an idea with no link - that tells you how much I worked on it!

• Virtual Reality Transcendence
  • The power to exist in a simulation but affect the world that is simulating you (presumably the real world in most cases).
  • Gotta workshop that name, Transcendence tends to mean something specific regarding omnipotence/the almighty. This power just means you're in a sim that can affect the real world - you don't have to be a god to do that.
