::: Debarra, your question has been answered, the Staff is re-evaluating the parameters because they agree with your point of it being an issue at the moment. Site-wide changes like this do not happen instantly. You simply need to wait patiently for the staff to decide how we, as editors, are going to handle this issue. --[[User:Firesong|Firesong]] ([[User talk:Firesong|talk]]) 17:59, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
::: There's obviously some tension in this conversation right now. I'd like to step in and hopefully help ease that.
::: To be clear, the Keepers are aware of problems, that have been noted here, that arise from this parameter. Staff ARE in active discussion about how to use this parameter (or whether it's even worth keeping). Community input is valuable so if there are opinions about this matter (that have not yet been expressed), we'd love to hear them (via Discord would be preferred, otherwise either on the forums or a talk page/user page). However, it's not ultimately worth debating the usage of this parameter, when we are actively discussing how it might be better implemented.
::: To confirm: the policy of the "world" parameter in Character infoboxes has historically served the purpose LadyLameness previously described: to note the primary world in which the character is involved. It's concerned with narrative importance. By that policy, the Vessels should list the world of whatever series they are most involved in. The "birthplace" parameter suggested earlier does seem to accomplish the original goal of having Yolen listed as the birthplace for each Vessel. I don't see any issues with the varied level of detail on birthplaces--something similar is done with the Location infoboxes--and like with those infoboxes, the information should be as specific as possible. (e.g., Kaladin having Hearthstone listed implies he is also born in Sadeas Princedom, Alethkar, Roshar, etc.)
::: I'm happy to talk about this further if there's still confusion. --[[User:Jofwu|Jofwu]] ([[User talk:Jofwu|talk]]) 04:00, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
