A lot of our mythology pages are unsourced, low-information garbage, a prime example being this one:
https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Norns_(Mythology)
"It should be noted that as the worlds share a sun, they should be considered different parts of a solar system, and not different universes."
What is the source for this? And even if it was true, what is to stop people from arguing that the sun was simply bigger in Norse mythology, like in all mythologies where sun worship and sun gods were prominent?
Another problem is the mixing and matching of various conceptions of gods within their profile pages, even conceptions that are wholly unorthodox or "heretical".
A prime example is here:
https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Dionysus_(Myth)
This page references the Dionysiaca, a religious poem that presents concepts so completely different to "normal" or "conventional" Hellenistic religion that the "Dionysus" presented in it might as well be a completely different god. This isn't even getting into the conflation between Orphic Dionysus and "regular" Hellenistic Dionysus in the page.
Most of the profiles on the gods are just awful, having no citations to back up literally anything in them.
Here's an example:
https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Ukko_(Myth)
Not a single link to any story or mythology or commentary that displays the feats claimed, and I certainly am not seeing where Ukko has "higher-dimensional existence" (unless we start taking mythological descriptions and/or epithets of deities as literal face-value truths instead of mostly hyperboles, in which case quite a few gods need to be upgraded to 1-B or even 1-A).
TL;DR The state of mythological profiles in here is dreadful, and someone should go and fix that.<ac_metadata title="Mythology Feats and Cosmology" related_topics="Norns (Mythology)|Mythology|Dionysus (Myth)|Ukko (Myth)"> </ac_metadata>
