Putting My Foot Down

[Gunmaster45]

I'm sick of this, we should enforce a new rule in full:

If you make a page, the most effort possible should be made to it as you can. If the page is not made to the best of your abilities, it should not be made. If someone (meaning anonymous users) ignorantly makes one of these half-assed (or less than half-assed) pages, it will either be deleted or expanded upon by a more capable user. If you plan to expand a page more in the future but don't have the time at the moment, leave a message at the top of the page informing people you will build it later.

If the best of your abilities is poor but you feel the page should be made (say a new movie release that has yet to be made), build it and fill in as much info as you can (with the gun images, descriptions, and links) and then list the page as "Category:Incomplete" and put {{Template:Incomplete}} at the top of the page. (I'm not sure if it is double {} or single)

I know I'm not the only one who is sick of all of these effortless pages. I say we do a sweep of the site, and either delete or improve the format on all of the crap pages (some have enough information to build on). This site should be fully reputable for having completed pages and when anonymous users build crap pages, or reputation is unrightfully hindered. Take a stand!

What does everyone else think?

I agree as we have to many pages with nothing on them. I know when people have a work in progress but to never put any caps on it is stupid. I know of one member that is far more guilty of pages with nothing on them other than weapon photos.

Waste of time and makes the site look bad when there is nothing on the page.

I've been deleting empty (or near-empty) pages for a while now. It's not anything to shy away from.

[Gunmaster45]

If a page has decent descriptions and the like but no links or images or poster, you can work with that to turn the page into something half decent.

With some info on it that's a start on the page but some have none. I am guilty of pages with nothing when I first started. But I have grown of time and fill out the page on notepad before posting. I know that some don't have the skill or capability to screen cap or it's a time issue.

[MT2008]

A page where there are no screencaps, but there is at least description of which character used the gun(s) and format is proper, is OK by me. Even if it doesn't have screencaps, it can still be helpful to our readers because it tells them who used what gun. And that's what matters most.
