Number Ranking Criteria rules

[Pennek]

This would make referencing the Ranking Criteria easier and allow for expansion of each rule/guideline into its own article

This would be a first step to making the Ranking Criteria more accessible as per #3143

I've planned to take the lead in this and see that it gets done but would appreciate opinions and discussion on how exactly this should be implemented

not sure what you mean by this, add the symbols where?

[Pennek]

Add them before each rule/guideline as a reference point.

§ 3.1 Hit objects must never be off-screen in 4:3 aspect ratios.
§ 3.2 Spinners must be long enough for Auto to achieve 1000 bonus score.
Etc.

Does this symbol have some special meaning? I'm not immediately sure how it improves organisation.

[cl8n]

I think the important part of this proposal is the numbering, not the section symbol (not sure that's the correct way to use it)

for referencing i see what u mean bc it's easier to say "RC rule 3.1" instead of a potentially long rule with many exceptions etc... but at the same time, I've personally only seen RC references in places where the explanation of the rule was necessary, like mod discussions

for navigation i dont see how this would help or change anything

[Pennek]

The symbol seemed like a good idea to my sleep deprived brain but the numbering is the important part since it allows referencing rules. This would allow me to write articles for each rule/guideline explaining things such as:

• why a rule exists
• how it applies
• examples with images
• edgecases and exceptions
• changelogs

If I were to try and write rule articles atm, referencing them would be impossible

post to RC forum if you want to see this go anywhere, there are a lot more mappers/modders watching that forum than here

Going to close for now since ranking criteria stuff shouldn't go here
