You can quote things from RP too. That section is mainly to make sure that people understand the connections of the changes they want to make.A lot of the problem is we have vast swaths of history that are not very well wikified and there is something of an archive panic when it comes to reading random threads. There are also lots of things that have 'early installment weirdness'. (Ex. Nagashun). If the information isn't on the Wiki, it's very hard to find. And if it is on the wiki, it can be incomplete. That's not even starting to mention knock on effects where you might not see how something effects something else. So a lot of history is kind of oral, just like real history.
This is the whole point of creating a system in place to make sure one person who doesn't know how their one article affects others isn't given too much power to destroy the beauty and wonder they themselves cannot see.We can't be expecting people to know how their one article affects every other article on the wiki.
Isnโt that the point of the submission review process, though?This is the whole point of creating a system in place to make sure one person who doesn't know how their one article affects others isn't given too much power to destroy the beauty and wonder they themselves cannot see.
Doesn't mean it isn't worth trying so that when you get it submitted there's less of that, and it helps you grow as a sarperIsn't that why we have submissions forums? So us veterans who've been here for years can bring up issues with an article?
If reading setting information and prior history and RP is a burden, then text RP isn't really for the person. And no, it doesn't mean that. That is reducto ad absurdium, not an accurate characterizationWe're supposed to be making SARP more accessible. This suggestion means that every new player is supposed to have an encyclopaedia understanding of the lore.
no one said either of those things.We can't be expecting people to know how their one article affects every other article on the wiki. Especially when you're explicitly banning them from even asking their friends.
Expecting someone to do some research before submitting is hardly doing that. New players need to be reading more than anyone else. Being able to accessibly jump in right away doesn't free anyone from the expectation of learning.Additionally, you're moving the burden of objecting during the NTSE stage by an affected party into a burden on the submitting party to preemptively handle objections and offer compromises before they've even been raised? I don't know how you can expect this to be possible for new players.
In my opinion, reading setting information and prior history and RP often is a burden - even for someone who considers themselves to be an avid reader, if youโll pardon me for blowing my own horn - simply because thereโs so much of it hidden away beneath decades of forum posts or hard-to-find wiki pages. Iโm sure Iโm not alone when I say that I quite literally learn something new about Star Army just about every day.If reading setting information and prior history and RP is a burden, then text RP isn't really for the person. And no, it doesn't mean that. That is reducto ad absurdium, not an accurate characterization.
