Summary: the good and bad of the vs battle wiki (the vids thirty minutes long and it basically says this, not counting insults/tangents/rants etc.)
Good:
1. good source for reference when doing separate research
2. does provide calculations and evidence
3. Not everyone is an idiot there
4. well intentioned
5. I myself have used it and side from it's tier level the pages are generally accurate, mainly powers and abilities
Bad
1. Cannot be used as a standalone source as has been shown multiple times to miss information, sometimes painfully obvious ones
2. sometimes as stated above, it misses important evidence, like tweets from a creator, and sometimes calculations are outright ignored(IF proven false that's not a bad thing)
3. a lot of people have really weak arguments in the forums yet a lot of sway and some people are just full on dumb
4. bad execution
5. Easily offended in forums, where even a passive comment can be taken negatively and given a warning
6. really bad rebuttals to evidence
7. it's fucking cancer at times especially when basic info or easy to obtain info is missing
8. misinformation at times, not always but it does pop up
9. Admins seem to abuse power from what I've seen, this is the weakest point as I do not know the terms of service etc. but just from what i've seen

In conclusion, the vs battle wiki is a well intentioned site with issues, some that are really bad and easy to fix or outright stupefying. And while it has earned the idea of being cancer, I mean come on some of these forums and misinformation they have or lack of info is just baffling. However, it is getting better and who knows, maybe one day it'll be a credible solo source.
