Your Move. Round 3./@comment-4

[ Back to thread]

..Right. That's probably the real reason why these kinds of forums were abandoned. And that means there'll probably be problems even WITHOUT someone trying to make the same page twice.

Problems that we'll need to fix.

It's probably going to happen. Remember Murphy's Law?

..No, the REAL Murphy's Law, not the fictional one you see on TV. That one's actually Finagle's Law.

I'm talking about this one.

"If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of those ways can result in a catastrophe, then someone will do it."

Which is precisely why one should design it so that you simply can't do it incorrectly.

So once people flee over to this wiki, there might just be TWO people making a thread about how Chara's not evil. There's already THREE of them on the Undertale Wiki, though they fortunately have different names.

Note (that I discovered PRIOR to posting this message, but after writing everything above this):There's actually many more. And a thread literally just called "Chara".

They all are phrased differently, though, so that wouldn't be an issue.

Actually, I should probably see if I can find two threads on the Undertale Wiki that have the same title. (As in, the exact same title. There would only be an issue if two threads have the exact same title.) Maybe there's an actual good chance of it not happening.

Fortunately, one could simply revert it. But it's probably better if we have a way of stopping it from happening at all.

But before we do that, we should start by focusing on the more fundamental issue, that can manifest even WITHOUT two people making the same thread.

Note 2 (As before, based on ideas I thought of AFTER writing everything above): Perhaps you meant you hoped people won't flee to this wiki.. Period. But people probably WILL come over here considering the lack of Discussions, though I'd expect only actual theorists to do so, with the forum games people probably sticking around for Discussions. Then again, it's likely that only a small subset of theorists would join this wiki, since only a few of us know it-I'd expect other people to try and find other workarounds, maybe they'd move to Reddit... Maybe they'd find a workaround with Discord.. Or maybe they'll set up their OWN workaround on the actual Undertale Wiki.

We really don't know.
