Pistilverse vs. Pistolverse

"I know a bit about omegaverse, pistilverse, nameverse, sentinelverse, puppetverse and pistolverse, but if you know any other worldviews, please explain!"

Is this just a typo on the part of the original poster or is "pistolverse" a separate trope? -- Quaelegit (talk) 22:37, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

I'm not finding anything with a simple Google search, but it may be uncommon? Sobqjmv sphinx (talk) 17:22, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Nothing on AO3, either, though, so it's probably an error. Sobqjmv sphinx (talk) 17:23, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

It's a separate trope, explained here. --Lycorice (talk) 16:13, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll add a note to the page. -- Quaelegit (talk) 22:35, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Help cleaning up the history section

The history section could use a lot of clean up I think.

1. First, it's a mix of in-line and box quotes, which I find confusing to read. Also, what is the source of the English translation presented on Fanlore? I'd like to note that as well, possibly using Template:TranslatedQuotation if it doesn't look too weird on the page.
2. Second, I don't like the wall of external links (" like other users do in"). These links should either be moved to footnotes and references, or else presented in the article body with more explanation. Also, should some of them go in the "Meta" section further down as well? -- Quaelegit (talk) 22:42, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

- Okay!

1. Changed the quotation template, made another long direct quote a box quote and removed the rest.
2. I removed the "wall of external links" and made them all refs. Moved only one of those links to meta (the repost one), the rest are fanfic.

I think that should address all your suggestions? Silent oath (talk) 04:44, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

Worldbuilding additions vs headcanons?

Adding this here rather than on the Featured Article nomination discussion so it doesn't get lost (and because it's not really a nomination dealbreaker for me) - I can't currently tell what separates the formal worldbuilding 'additions' from ones that are merely headcanons? Is there a rationale behind which ones are considered later additions to the worldbuilding vs headcanons? --enchantedsleeper (talk) 19:08, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

I'm the one who divided them. Under "Additions", I put the features that were listed in comprehensive articles about Pistilverse (but not in the creator's post) and thus seemed to have become common, while under "Headcanons" I put one-time ideas. --Lycorice (talk) 10:24, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Quote translation

So I don't know Korean but I noticed what seems to be a minor issue with the translation of the first quote. I believe that "worldview" would be more accurately translated as "universes." So, the author seems to be asking if anyone knows of more 'verses, not asking for people's opinions. This is based on this Korean fandom slang guide, which uses the Korean word for "worldview" (세계관) in its definition of -verse. Google Translate also doesn't catch that 버스 (beoseu, "bus", as in the vehicle) seems to double as a Korean transliteration of verse. A second Korean fandom slang guide seems to imply that "세계관" and "버스" are synonyms. Also the original Korean title of BTS Universe is "방탄소년단 세계관." Night Rain (talk) 07:31, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Oh, I probably missed it when I cleaned the page a while back. Thanks for pointing it out! Silent oath (talk) 17:43, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

No worries! Might be helpful to have an article covering Korean fandom slang. This would help expand our coverage of fandom across the globe and give Fanlore contributors a resource for polishing translations. Night Rain (talk) 09:53, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
