This is a settled discussion about changing something about Blooncyclopedia. Do not modify it.
Outcome: 6-2 in favour of stats coming first.

Recently, there's been a lot of discussion on the Discord server about how articles should be structured, and there doesn't seem to be a consensus on whether it's better to have stats sections listed first or to have strategy sections listed first.

(And yes, this is also an excuse to test out the forums. I prefer to have major decisions settled on the wiki so you don't need to join the discord server.) polavux 07:14, 29 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Stats should be first (same as it is now)

I will say that Strategy sections do have the key appeal of indicating what the towers/Heroes involve, and I personally have written the Strategy tips for both Etienne and Rosalia from scratch to set up a better standard. That said, however, Stats is the more objective point. There can be different ways for a player to work out how to play towers--Quincy for example can be placed either where he covers more of the map to have maximized attack time, or cover a single key section of the track more closely to avoid letting Yellows get past his bow. Stats are hard data by contrast, and their tabling is a key appeal of Blooncyclopedia as well; players will inevitably decide what to make of them. My vote is casted with this in mind.

This proposal will be closed in 24 hours unless option 2 suddenly gains a lot more votes. polavux 00:38, 2 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
