Why are IPs even allowed to edit technical data in the first place? Stuff like that, as well as artwork, songlists, and what not, isn't going to be changing barring the rare case of an update, and such data should never be under dispute if it's actually been pulled from the game. Blocking them from the entire page though........eh. The character pages are more than just the competitive stuff, and if I recall IPs don't routinely worsen those sections. Sure, we blocked the alternate costume pages from IP edits for similar reasons, but the subject matter of those articles is significantly more speculative and judgemental, so discussion of most edits is a given. In all honesty, IPs seeming unawareness of talk pages seems to be a bigger issue compared to them spreading misinformation. If they were willing to at least ''discuss'' with the Wiki's editors why their edits aren't helpful, it would save the userbase the headache of constantly having to revert and IPs from trying to force them through and not understanding why they keep being rejected. While I don't know of an exact method to accomplish that, outside of making it the site notice in big bold letters, I can't say this is it. - [[User:EndGenuity|EndGenuity]] ([[User talk:EndGenuity|talk]]) 21:14, December 27, 2019 (EST)
