User blog:Magma MK-II/Make Heroes Wiki Great Again

Hello, fellow Heroes Wiki editors. I'm Magma MK-II, one of the bureaucrats of Villains Wiki.

As some of you may know, both the Villains Wiki and Heroes Wiki are sister wikis, made by the same people and sharing much of the same staff. A few years ago we began a cleanup effort on the Villains Wiki intended to modernize it and bring on better quality standards to articles, something that involved a mass purge on categories and articles. While a similar effort was intended to be made on the Heroes Wiki as well, in the end the Heroes Wiki got neglected, something that's reflected on its current state.

Well, not anymore!

Me, as well as few fellow users from Villains Wiki, have made an agreement with the current active bureaucrats (Queen Misery and Mesektet) and admins (DarkUnknownWarrior, Jester of Chaos, Emeraldblade, etc) to begin a massive cleanup here on Heroes Wiki, similar to what we did on Villains Wiki. This is what we currently have in mind on how to procceed with this plan:


 * First, we are adapting the rules from Heroes Wiki for here, with all needed changes and adaptations.
 * With new rules in place, we'll begin a mass purge of categories, with all useless/redundant categories being removed from articles. Much like we did on Villains Wiki, all categories related to species, powers, weapons, politics, religion and others will be terminated.
 * We'll be also implementing new standards regarding which articles belong here or not, which means many articles will be deleted or exported to the sister wikis. This will be discussed further down the line, but basically pages on fanfiction and regular protagonists that are just common citizens (people who don't really do anything heroic) will be deleted.

All users who wish to help on this effort are welcome. Feel free to leave any comments and suggestions here as well!
