I noticed the trashcan robot enemies along with other enemies from the level "Food Run" from Crash Bandicoot 4 don't have pages.
Can I make pages for them?
So I found a video with a production document with information on Crash Bandicoot Worlds, the working title for WoC. The plot and gameplay seems different enough to warrant its own page (just like how Evolution has a page separate from Twinsanity), but I thought i'd ask before going ahead, especially since the video doesn't mention a source (it seems legitimate to me though, and this channel has shown good stuff before)
i'd also like to make pages for the cut characters, specifically Elli Mental, and maybe Reo Cortex and Quoco Bandicoot as well.
here's the vid in question - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZmM72ktjNA
what do you all think?
As is, each Concept Art pack from Mind Over Mutant/Crash of the Titans is its own page. Since they're all really short and basically just act as five-image galleries, is it OK if I just merge them all into one page ("Mind Over Mutant Concept Art" or something?) I think it'd be more convenient. (Asking here since it concerns a number of different articles.)
The ROM hack of Crash Bandicoot 2 Nitro Escape was released by Gabriel de Oliveira on April 5, 2019, is a hack considered extremely difficult, with a lot of traps, nitro paths and walls, useless objects, all modded levels and boss fights, lack of checkpoints and different box counts.
The development began in August 2018, and the mod was initially called Cortex Forgots Back 2, during development, the name was changed to Nitro Escape.
Here is the table comparing box counts for Cortex Strikes Back and Nitro Escape

I've been replacing creature/enemy infoboxes and found a few pages containing solely cut content, which lead to a whole category of it. The majority, if not practically every page, contains either the bare minimum (X was cut content from Y, it would maybe do Z), part of which is outright speculation. A lot of it is entirely unsourced, rarely referring to developer interviews or hard-to-find early builds of less popular Crash games. And a lot of it is in fact just pages made for unused models (found in the (demo?) disc data), concept art and even *sketches*.
I am not saying we should outright delete everything, but I would dare say that any pages based on hear-say, sketches, concept art, unused models and etc. should in fact be deleted. Cut games and etc. would be major enough to stay, but nearly anything else that would be safe from deletion (e.g. content that is very relevant to something that did make it into the actual game, or was in fact nearly finished and usable in a demo, but got cut regardless, but can otherwise still be accessed), ought to be merged with the most relevant article or a "Cut content" section on the game page itself.
Nearing the end of fixing the wiki up per the affiliate program. Currently the wiki has a few categories for content that exists in the real world, voice actors, devs, companies, consoles.
https://crashbandicoot.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Real_World
Thing is, a wiki is only ever going to focus on the wiki's subject. So a page about Voice Actor X is only ever going to be "X voiced A, B and C in Game", perhaps there is some minor info on their real life or other work, but none of that is related to Crash Bandicoot and isn't honestly worth covering, and regardless isn't likely to be covered properly and completely anyway.
The issue is thus: You have a hundred pages that are guaranteed incomplete, stub articles. They only ever do the obvious (X voice Y in Z) and thus detracts from the wiki's overal quality by merely being a permanent forced stub.
Thus I propose we instead link all in the above category to their actual Wikipedia page, where you can trust the content is covered as best as possible. This also means less work for the wiki's editors and thus more time for other more important stuff.
Making a forum post to get a bunch of votes to present to Staff, the topic at hand; Demotion of inactive bureaucrat accounts. The criteria I used is that the user must at least have been regularly active since 2017, of which none of these manage to get to that point (six of them have 0 edits).
I'll add that returning their rights is a matter of the bureaucrat team here, but am fairly sure it's a matter of requesting them back and showing you'll be active again, not my concern regardless.
These accounts apply for demotion:
As Staff is supposed to see this, I'll include that we also would like them to remove the Badge feature/functionality from the wiki.
Gonna skip the affiliates part, as that has already essentially been approved. However, part of said program is help from our wiki teams (Jak and Daxter and Ratchet & Clank), primarily focusing on the back-end (so anything involving maintenance like CSS, JS, templates, policies and all those fancy specialpages for unused, uncategorized and wanted files/pages/templates/categories) and front-end (main page, site design and background).
I've got a start of a list of what we'd like to further improve, fix or help on.
1. Copy the J&D/R&C main page and site design and style it to fit the Crash wiki (tbh Orange would fit perfectly well here, but we could also keep the yellow, or maybe try something entirely different, no more yellow background though pls). (New unfinished test design HERE!)
2. Implement this fancy background I found.
3. Use a bot to remove unused files, templates and categories, which would further clean up any redlinks lying around and give the actual used and usable content more breathing room (like removing dead leaves from a plant so you only got healthy stuff left).
4. Demote (to start with) any bureaucrat or sysop who hasn't edited since, say 2016 (rights could return if they also return editing). Oddly enough the wiki has SIX bureaucrat accounts without any edits, some sort of old abusive bureuacrat shenanigans?
This would be just the start, though the main idea is "J&D wiki is practically perfect, so let's just copy whatever they're doing". Later on I'd like to also import the entire template and policy structure. Oh and probably replace the wiki logo with this more series-appropriate version someone on the Discord made?
I've been thinking about this for several days now. I think it would be good for this wiki to request to have the Dynamic Page List extension added to this wiki. Why do I think that? Well I'll explain.
There are thousands of images on this wiki that are uncategorised, and only a maximum of 1,000 results show up on Special:Uncategorizedimages each day, and the results only update once a day. Meaning that when images are categorised, it leaves us no choice but to wait for the next time the special page caches.
So my final question is, do we want to request to have this extension added to this wiki?

If this glitch is successfully performed it will look like this.
Time for a bit of honestly. Discussions, as it has across Wikia, has failed. Nobody wants to comment on it, and we average 70,000 views a day, so people just don't want to comment on it.
We can try and bastardise it if needed, it serves no purpose now. Thoughts?
I've edited the Hang'em High infobox with item icons that link to their respective articles. If any admins are here, let me know what you think.
I am proposing to do One Time Appearance category for characters who only appear in one game. I believe this will be helpful in finding minor characters and other characters that are often forgotten by the universe of Crash. Plus there is already categories for major characters like Protagonists, Antagonist, and Main Antagonists. It is only fair that the minor characters get a category. What do you guys think? Should I make this a category?
I know I haven't been editing that much in the wiki since I have 80+ edits since joining, but I feel that I should be an admin for Bandipedia. I have used the power well with the editor, I have done pretty well on my edits as well, but with the few amount of the admins, I think that Team Bandipedia could use one more admin
