alright, here's a bit of a rundown of how this works.

All pages will have categories, as you well and truly know, within those categories, for a fight that is unclaimed, it will either have "Candidates for Adoption" "Abandoned What-If? Death Battle" or just no username category claimed.

For example, Hinata vs. Orihime is claimed because a user's category name is on the page, and it's got the "Adopted What-If? Death Battles" category on it, indicating it has been claimed from another person, or from being abandoned, but that's not the end of one's hope for an already claimed page, the reason why it's been so inactive from said user is because it's likely apart of a Season lineup, meaning it's being worked on at a later point in time to allow the characters original sources to continue.

But don't fret, any fight page that has no user category and has  Candidates for Adoption" and/or "Abandoned What-If? Death Battles" is a fight you can claim automatically without a need for anyone's permission, any fight that's left there with those categories can be picked up and worked on by you at whichever rate you fancy, we have no rule against when you should work on a fight, you work on it at whatever speed you like.

However, if there is a claimed fight you wish to work on, you are able to ask the owner of the page if you can work on your version of that fight, and if the owner says yes, the the page is tabbed, evening out the two versions seperately to prevent a lack of space, and it's visually more presentable, one example of this is Maka Albarn vs. Ruby Rose, it is owned by two who are writing their own versions.
