While I wasn’t going to comment on this thread initially (due to most of the points I was planning on making already being covered), I am going to comment on it in anyway in order to express how using blogs to write your battles can be significantly easier than doing so on a page or tabber in some circumstances.

While tabbers are fairly easy to use, if you know what you’re doing, a lot of wikis don’t use them, which means that a significant number of users who contribute to the wiki find it difficult to set up and edit in tabbers, due to having little or no experience of doing this previously. They also have a habit of glitching out (especially if you normally use the Visual Editor) which can be a pain if you’re constantly trying to edit your version of a particular fight.

Also, as Friendly previously mentioned, while the rules on the type of fights that can be done on official pages are fairly restrictive, this is not the case with blog posts as you can pretty much do any fights on them, as long as they don’t contain characters past the ecchi genre or any modern religious figures. Additionally, while you are essentially forced to use the Classic Editor when editing blog posts, said editor isn’t that difficult to use as it contains several features that common applications such as Microsoft Word use, so if you edit in a blog post, there isn’t much difference to you editing a normal page on the wiki (apart from you having to edit using the Classic Editor).

Finally, while I understand that the majority people want to make sure that their blog fights are read, as Ghost has previously mentioned, you can use a number of methods to ensure that they are read including promoting them on Chat, on your userpage or on the [https://deathbattlefanon.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:391807 What-If? Death Battle Appreciation Thread].

Overall, to be clear, me and the other staff members are NOT trying to force the community to use blogs to write their battles (particularly their own versions of other people’s battles) if they don’t want to (as many people may be comfortable with editing in tabbers already), we are simply recommending it and we’re not going to get offended if any members of the community would prefer not to use blog posts to write their own versions of other people’s battles or battles that are not normally allowed on pages.
