	::Hey Darman, I hope I've addressed all your requests here! I'm not sure what the other staff thinks regarding your question of the placement of those artworks, but I personally think that even if those characters' profile images are derived them, the originals should still be included since they should be on this wiki somewhere, and they are relevant to those characters. Whether or not they appear under those characters' articles, I would say they should be included in the ''The Curse of the Pharaohs'' page, but as "promo art" not "concept art". I'm confused why when you asked, you referred to it as a promo art if they went under the character pages and concept art if they went under ''The Curse of the Pharaohs''. These images are either promotional art or concept art; the designation shouldn't change between pages.

	Hi, I wanted to give you a heads up that the wiki's [[Special:Forum\|forums]] are going to be migrated to the [https://assassinscreed.fandom.com/f Discussions] relatively soon as part of the overall site's upgrade to the "Unified Community Platform," which includes a much newer version of MediaWiki and more robust and modularized proprietary features like Discussions. If you haven't seen it already, there's a news blog about the migration and some updates to the Discussions platform [[w:User blog:MisterWoodhouse/Updates to Discussions and the plan for Forums\|here]]. Discussions does not have wikitext support as it's not built in MediaWiki, but content that's transferred over from the Forums will have its formatting preserved as HTML, so it shouldn't look substantially different (except for more advanced content). It also does not allow anonymous contributions. Post-migration, existing links to forum posts will redirect to their respective Discussions posts. You can find a bit more info on the archived FAQ thread [w:Thread:1746468\|here]]. Please let me know if you have any questions about this process, and make an [https://assassinscreed.fandom.com/announcements announcement] about it if you'd like!

	:Yes, I think the term "Unified Community Platform" is a little confusing. It makes more sense from the perspective of the engineer. Really there is no need for the name to be publicized, they could say "MediaWiki upgrade and resultant changes" and get the same point across. It is just an update to the software that the site uses, and the switch from Forums to Discussions is one effect of this software upgrade.		:Yes, I think the term "Unified Community Platform" is a little confusing.

	::"''In the wider lore they are just a small element and probably not statistically significant from the number of real world assassins''." That's interesting, but in real-life, like in Wikipedia, it won't matter if they were statistically significant or not. If they are known, and they are assassins, they would be included in the category. Hence, from an in-universe perspective where the ''Assassin's Creed'' universe is "real-life", whether or not they were statistically significant also has no bearing. If their existence is known to the encyclopedia, and they were assassins, they would qualify in the category. Wikipedia has a different rule regarding notability of individuals in order for them to merit an article in the first place, such that not every random person that is mentioned in a news article would have an article, but that's a different matter. We don't currently have such a notability rule (not sure if we should, Wookieepedia includes articles on even [[w:c:starwars:Unidentified_stormtrooper_(Millennium_Falcon_capture)\|random]] [[w:c:starwars:Unidentified_stormtrooper_(Endor)\|background]] [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Unidentified_stormtroopers stormtroopers] [[w:c:starwars:Unidentified_head-bumping_stormtrooper\|ahahahaha]] xD), but in both Wikipedia's case and ours, if an individual does have an article then it has to be correctly categorized rather than categorized based on if they are notable enough to "qualify" for that category. "Notability" if it is a criteria is settled at the point of deciding whether or not the individual should have an article in the first place. I'm not entirely sure if this addresses your point since I am admittedly still a bit confused on it.		::"''In the wider lore they are just a small element and probably not statistically significant from the number of real world assassins''."

	Hi Sol,<br />I know you've already discussed DSegno92's edit habits with DarkFeather, XOdeyssusx, and Staff, but I recently found some more info I thought may be relevant. For background in case, I first asked XOdeyssusx about this on his talk page. He said that while the actions are badge hunting, he suggested I ask Fandom since DSegno92 wasn't ''technically'' breaking rules by continuously editing his own page one line at a time. When I asked Fandom, they said it was up to a community's mods to decide on actions, if any. I replied, thinking this was a jurisdiction loop with the AC mods and Fandom referring to each other for the final ruling, and they pointed me to their FAQ on achievements and the user page policy from Wookieepedia. I feel it is insufficient, as the FAQ assumes the offending user is unintentionally working in good faith when this is not the case, while the Wook page, although useful if this was over there, is not fully applicable since AC tries not to copy everything from them.

He said that while the actions are badge hunting, he suggested I ask Fandom since DSegno92 wasn't ''technically'' breaking rules by continuously editing his own page one line at a time. When I asked Fandom, they said it was up to a community's mods to decide on actions, if any. I replied, thinking this was a jurisdiction loop with the AC mods and Fandom referring to each other for the final ruling, and they pointed me to their FAQ on achievements and the user page policy from Wookieepedia. I feel it is insufficient, as the FAQ assumes the offending user is unintentionally working in good faith when this is not the case, while the Wook page, although useful if this was over there, is not fully applicable since AC tries not to copy everything from them.

	As for DSegno92, I believe I have found ''all'' of his Fandom profiles, and his activity on these sites are exact matches with his pointless activity of one-line edits here (in Italian??). Besides the 3 sites mentioned on XOdeyssusx's page, DSegno92 is also present on the ''[[w:c:it.Assassinscreed:Utente:DSegno92\|Italian AC Wiki]]'', ''[[w:c:piratesonline:User:DSegno92\|Pirates Online]]'', ''[[w:c:pirates:User:DSegno92\|Pirates of the Caribbean]]'', ''[[w:c:black-sails:User:DSegno92\|Black Sails]]'', ''[[w:c:captaintsubasa:User:DSegno92\|Captain Tsubasa]]'', ''[[w:c:marvel:User:DSegno92\|Marvel]]'', ''[[w:c:avengersalliance:User:DSegno92\|Avengers Alliance]]'', ''[[w:c:dc:User:DSegno92\|DC]]'', ''[[w:c:dcuniverseonline:User:DSegno92\|DCUniverse Online]]'', ''[[w:c:callofjuarez:User:DSegno92\|Call of Juarez]]'', ''[[w:c:overlord:User:DSegno92\|Overlord]]'', ''[[w:c:it.paperpedia:User:DSegno92\|Paperpedia]]'', ''[[w:c:hungry-shark:User:DSegno92\|Hungry Shark]]'', ''[[w:c:disneyinfinity:User:DSegno92\|Disney Infinity]]'', and ''[[w:c:jurassicpark:User:DSegno92\|Jurassic Park]]'' Wikis. None have called him out on his spam.

	Excluding ''Avengers Alliance'', ''Call of Juarez'' ''Overlord'', and ''Jurassic Park'', which do not have badges, all the other Wikis—including this one—have been spammed at minimum for him to get the "A Wiki Life" badge (200 days), while ''Marvel'', ''DC'', ''DCUniverseOnline'', ''Paperpedia'', and ''Hungry Shark'' have been superfluously edited in order to get the "Wiki Hero" badge (365 days), and I '''''know''''' he intends to do the same here very soon. If Fandom will not block his serial abuse of the badge systems, can not something be done here to deny him at least one proverbial notch under the belt of Wikis Spammed? Ordinarily, I would notify the user that their actions are at best frowned upon, but the ''Red Dead Redemption'' Wiki shows that DSegno92 understands basic English yet repeatedly ignores such warnings, so I felt I should take it to Staff again. – [[User:Darman36\|<span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;font-size:15px;color:#">Darman</span>]] ([[User talk:Darman36\|<span style="font-family:Viner Hand ITC;color:#">talk</span>]]) 07:05, September 24, 2020 (UTC)		Excluding ''Avengers Alliance'', ''Call of Juarez'' ''Overlord'', and ''Jurassic Park'', which do not have badges, all the other Wikis—including this one—have been spammed at minimum for him to get the "A Wiki Life" badge (200 days), while ''Marvel'', ''DC'', ''DCUniverseOnline'', ''Paperpedia'', and ''Hungry Shark'' have been superfluously edited in order to get the "Wiki Hero" badge (365 days), and I '''''know''''' he intends to do the same here very soon.

	*And another apostrophe oddity in ''Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered Announcement Teaser Trailer Ubisoft US''. I'm asking because most videos here have the "normal" apostrophe vs "smart quotes". Or at least, the videos I've seen. Besides, it's difficult to type such a character in the search bar.		*And another apostrophe oddity in ''Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered Announcement Teaser Trailer Ubisoft US''.

	::Hey Darman, I hope I've addressed all your requests here! I'm not sure what the other staff thinks regarding your question of the placement of those artworks, but I personally think that even if those characters' profile images are derived them, the originals should still be included since they should be on this wiki somewhere, and they are relevant to those characters. Whether or not they appear under those characters' articles, I would say they should be included in the ''The Curse of the Pharaohs'' page, but as "promo art" not "concept art". I'm confused why when you asked, you referred to it as a promo art if they went under the character pages and concept art if they went under ''The Curse of the Pharaohs''. These images are either promotional art or concept art; the designation shouldn't change between pages.

	:We would also have to address what is the difference between murder and assassination or assassination and kills of opportunity. This could help filter out some of the riffraff henchmen and what not. However before even that we need to address what counts as an occupation. Part of my argument relies on if someone undertakes a certain action they can be categorized together by occupation. If spy is not valid then assassin would not be either. Maybe we should use something like Individuals by Behavior for some of these which is what Wikipedia uses (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:People_by_behavior).

	::"''In the wider lore they are just a small element and probably not statistically significant from the number of real world assassins''." That's interesting, but in real-life, like in Wikipedia, it won't matter if they were statistically significant or not. If they are known, and they are assassins, they would be included in the category. Hence, from an in-universe perspective where the ''Assassin's Creed'' universe is "real-life", whether or not they were statistically significant also has no bearing. If their existence is known to the encyclopedia, and they were assassins, they would qualify in the category. Wikipedia has a different rule regarding notability of individuals in order for them to merit an article in the first place, such that not every random person that is mentioned in a news article would have an article, but that's a different matter. We don't currently have such a notability rule (not sure if we should, Wookieepedia includes articles on even [[w:c:starwars:Unidentified_stormtrooper_(Millennium_Falcon_capture)\|random]] [[w:c:starwars:Unidentified_stormtrooper_(Endor)\|background]] [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Unidentified_stormtroopers stormtroopers] [[w:c:starwars:Unidentified_head-bumping_stormtrooper\|ahahahaha]] xD), but in both Wikipedia's case and ours, if an individual does have an article then it has to be correctly categorized rather than categorized based on if they are notable enough to "qualify" for that category. "Notability" if it is a criteria is settled at the point of deciding whether or not the individual should have an article in the first place. I'm not entirely sure if this addresses your point since I am admittedly still a bit confused on it.		::"''In the wider lore they are just a small element and probably not statistically significant from the number of real world assassins''."

	::I have always thought that occupational categories should refer strictly to professions or a sort of significant and/orl long-term activity that characterizes that individual's life, not just a one-off action. I would be open to a category based on behaviour though, but if we were to decide on that, I would like to hear the arguments for and against that.
