Deleted captions from the Ozpin vs. Cinder battle page. As I see it, allowing non-serious and joke captions is a form of intentional neglect on the part of the admins in the first place. In other words, "officially", they shouldn't even be there. The only reason they're there is because we have a sense of humor. However, this also means they can be removed at any time.

I was thinking that we could make a note of where the emblems appear on a person or on their possessions. (Both ChishioKunrin and I (because I didn't know she made one) have made a list of appearences so clearly it's interesting enough, but having them on personal pages only helps one person so wouldn't it be better to just add it to the wiki?)

3,5. Emblem explanations. A lot of emblems are connected to the character so we could point that out. It could go on the "CNR and Character Inspiration" pages ...if... that's still a thing... I think it's something that should be here and has importance. And it can enrich the "CNR and inspiration" page... if that is still in the works. Or just add it to the trivia... but it's anything but "trivia" so... anyhow. Good ideas, I was actually thinking of adding a sub-section to the Appearance section on each Character page with a description of their emblem and where it appears on their person, merchandise, etc. but never got round to it (it would have been part of a big overhaul of character pages I have planned).

Alternatively, we already have an Emblems page. We could change it from a simple list/gallery into a more detailed breakdown of each Emblem's (supposed) symbolism, with descriptions and a list of where each emblem appears on the character, etc. It'd end up looking a little bit like the Color Naming Rule page (but with pictures).

I made a list of what I think are unneeded trivia points, but I feel like I should inform someone before waging war on the trivia sections. ...there's a lot of them... I don't want people to think I'm just vandalizing. Firstly, what do you mean by "trivia problem"? What does and doesn't count as Trivia is hideously subjective and if you asked 100 people what they thought we should do we'd probably end up with 100 conflicting opinions. Honestly, I'm more or less happy with how our Trivia sections are now.

The only improvement I would suggest is breaking off inspiration and behind the scenes development (as in, how a character design progressed from initital sketches to final models) into a separate "Behind the Scenes" subpage/tab for each character (i.e. in addition to the subpages we already have, like History, Affiliation, Battles and Events, etc.). I know Chishio made a compilation of notes here which is more or less roughly what I thought we could do with each character.
