Resolved.

Not "TV Show wikis". I didn't expect an admin to be so stubborn over this small observation. I'm only preventing more unbelievable misunderstandings like this one to happen again, knowing the people here.

I'm not doing this in bad faith or to put the writer of this blog in a bad place. I'm just trying to clarify the obvious, since people here are struggling to note it by themselves.

"I'm only preventing more unbelievable misunderstandings like this one to happen again, knowing the people here."

What do you mean by this?

Zangler (talkcontribs)

The proposer there went on to write the most nonsensical request due to both a misunderstanding of the show wikis' subdomains and everyone still calling them "TV show wikis", which makes me wonder how long could it take for another absurd proposal like that to happen, knowing the people here never learn a thing from criticisms, warnings and even blocks.

Who cares?

Zangler (talkcontribs)

I do, and SSK does but not in a good way, for some reason. The nature from your comment sounded rude to say the least, MoistyTIT.

Moisty (talkcontribs)

No, like genuinely, who cares? It’s not the big of a deal and I honestly think you’re both immature.

Zangler (talkcontribs)

It's not immature to correct people for misreading/misspelling a name on purpose.

Moisty (talkcontribs)

But it is immature to do it in such a way here.

Zangler (talkcontribs)

How come?

Moisty (talkcontribs)

Making a whole topic for this for everyone to see just causes drama; talking to SSK privately would’ve been better and have caused less trouble.

Blad (talkcontribs)

i agree with Moisty. What was there to confuse? I can understand it in certain circumstances, but in this one it's pointless to change it.

Blad (talkcontribs)

Scratch that, I don't see how you can confuse them at all.

Raidarr (talkcontribs)

To be honest I have to agree with Moisty - it's come up before and made no sense every time it did. It's shorthand. As long as you know what it's referring to it's done its job. Obviously if it matters to the subject you should be more specific, but it wasn't really pertinent here. Pick the better battles.

Zangler (talkcontribs)

I was specific enough and it was apparently pertinent for a user in particular (Juan90980, the proposer of the RfC mentioned above), pertinent enough to influence me into writing this topic (reminder to stop calling the show wikis their former name), unnecessary I'd say, if a clarification was made and people bothered following the clarification (SSK still calling them TV Show wikis, which most likely will cause another user to propose that change again, if not misinform unintentionally).

Raidarr (talkcontribs)

Lets deal with the users who make an unnecessary issue with it (if Juan has an issue, another) instead of taking issue with just a colloquial use.

Zangler (talkcontribs)

Understood, thanks for the very clear reply. I suggest closing the topic now, unless Moisty wants to answer my recent question above. I don't mind what choice he makes.

Moisty (talkcontribs)

Thank you for your understanding; I’ll go ahead and close this topic, as everything has been covered.
