The title says it all. Soon enough, this wiki will see the return of the Hall of Records, the place where characters are listed with their Battle Records as well as how specific matches ended; for example, saying that Dio Brando won against Mario, lost against Spike Spiegel and had a draw against Steve. Not that it's actually like this, I'm merely spewing some stuff out to make myself more clear.

However. There are several changes and additions to the new Hall of Records. A quick listy:


 * 1) Perhaps the biggest addition of them all is that below the "Win-Loss-Draw" stuff, a new collapsible box will be present - collapsed by default - showing the fatalities. Id est, how exactly the loser(s) died or were otherwise defeated.
 * 2) And here the biggest change: Draw will now only be used for, you know, actual DRAWS. Battles with multiple endings are obviously not draws and will therefore not be marked as such, but rather as a new term yet to decide. I was unable to find a term for a scenario with multiple endings for my queries only brought me to TVTropes articles and a Wikipedia page about alternate non-canonical endings. So yeah; if you have any ideas for this new term, please tell me. If we really can't find anything, than "Open-ended" or "Multi-Ending" would do, but let's do an effort for something better first.
 * 3) Characters now no longer require two completed matches to make the list. Just one does.
 * 4) Official Death Battles will no longer contribute to a character's Battle Record. I'd prefer it if we simply excluded them altogether, but if you guys really want them in for whatever reason, we might put them in a seperate section below the fanon battles - even if they're in, they will still not have any influence on a character's battle record/tier.
 * 5) No battles with OCs or FCs may make the list. Please note that FCs does not refer to unofficial characters, like Turbo Mecha Sonic, Glitchtale Frisk or YouTube Poop Characters (whom Big has greenlighted for usage in battles). With FCs, we refer to versions of characters from a user's own fiction; like my fanon version of Sonic, for example. Characters from others' fanfiction are allowed provided the story is popular enough and they have feats.
 * 6) No more quality control/1,000 word requirement for battles. Shorties aren't bad and I don't see a problem with poorly written battles. Sure, they can be tedious to read but that's no reason to ban them.
 * 7) Animatronics allowed. They do have wins here and there and the reasoning for their exclusion is nonsensical seeing as Dan Hibiki was never given a similar treatment. Not to mention that certain battles like Monokuma VS Freddy Fazbear do treat the animatronics in a fair way nonetheless of the outcome instead of treating them like weaklings/buttmonkies.
 * 8) Unlike how Para decided wether the battles should stay, this is not up to the admins to decide. It is not allowed as admin to exclude or remove battles because a user pissed you off (unranked users may not remove battles without permission from the author or a ranked user), or because you don't like it, wether it be the outcome, the fight itself or both. No more personal opinions or what's technically bias when a battle is finished.
 * 9) Characters are allowed even if their sole battle on the list is their only Fanon Wiki Idea So Far.
 * 10) We might reword the bottom stats of a character from e.g. "2W/2L/1D" to something more "human language" if desired (such as, for example, something more like the current Battle Record system).
 * 11) We may add former results that were changed in parantheses behind the current verdict if desired. E.g. "Vs. Aang: Loss (formerly Win)"

More changes, additions and removals might be on their way, so this thread might be highlighted again at a later point once the changes have been applied to the list.

The Hall of Records will be on a page editable by all users who have an account of at least four days of age. Obviously the Staff alone can't manage the whole page and especially changing all the altered outcomes and falsely labeled draws will be very tedious; we thereby ask your help. We ask you, yes, you there, that person behind the computer reading this very post right now, to help in managing it. To collaborate, work together and assist, to run this project together.

That's all I have for now. If have you feedback, questions or ideas, post them below and we'll look through them.

Wither out.
