pool #1882 and pool #2353 basically serves the same purposes in gathering images. Shouldn't we just combine them if both are doing the same work?

As I said before, we should combine them and restrict it to images that only have characters from a single stage in it or images such as comics that make a point of stating that all the characters are from that stage.

post #795831 wouldn't count since it's half ex, half not
post #802620 would however count since it makes a point of pointing out that's most of the ex-bosses there.

The question would be what about images like post #721271 where it's split 50/50 6th/ex?

That's the point of the merge. As I stated, it counts on both pools, hence why not just merge the two.

post #795831 can just leave the pool, since if were to be strict, Satori's breaking the law for either Ex Stage Pool and Stage Pool.

Should I just go ahead and make the pool, get all the images from both pools in it and ask the other two pools to be deleted or wait for a mod for answers?

You are asking for a deletion of either pool, no point in making a new one. And what's with the hurry? It's only 1 hour since you open the thread.

well, just asking lol. sorry if it sounded rushed

If I'm reading the definitions right, Stage Gathering and Ex Gathering are exactly the same except for the distinction made in Stage Gathering's definition that it shouldn't include Ex stages?

And we can basically remove that rule, add the Ex Gathering posts to Stage Gathering and delete Ex Gathering?

Yes, please.

Done.

well, now that's done, I'm taking KWSN's idea just to be more strict on the pool usage, no objections?

The description looks mostly good.

Probable exception is Reimu and Marisa being playable on most, if not, all games

If that's for the EX pictures, we don't need to mention that. Reimu and Marisa both appeared as EX-bosses, Reimu in Shuusou Gyouku and Marisa in Fairy Wars. (Also Yuuka in Kioh Gyoku)

Also, we need to clarify whether Ibuki_Suika, Hinanawi_Tenshi and Shikieiki_Yamaxanadu count as final bosses (post #252987), ex-bosses (post #711174) or both. Same for other characters which were introduced in a fighting or phantasmagoria game. (post #390764)

In all 3 examples, the artist's intent of drawing same-stage bosses shines through, so inclusion is correct.
