Why do people keep saying, it's their followers' responsibility to go off-site and do their own research on a canon muse, not have it given to them on the blog itself? This is not the case for any other interaction that needs some kind of knowledge. You get a haircut, it's the barber's responsibility to explain their own process in-store and how they personally approach your hair, sure, in the case of rping you could call this a rules page, but it can also be applied to how they approach a muse. Reading a bio gets a follower more familiar with your style of writing, it helps them get more familiar with your blog. It's easier for your followers to have everything in the same place. It's also a common courtesy to give your followers all the info they need to make an informed decision on whether their muse will work with yours (which a lot of the time involves shared experiences, which a bio tells them about! The more experiences you list the better, because that very last experience could be the ONE thing that makes them go, "yes I'm interested now"!). Plus wiki articles change over time, they get griefed, and there will always be some aspect in them that the mun doesn't follow, or hasn't kept up with. This just causes problems down the road if the mun gives a blanket "here's the wiki I follow everything", then a year later, they haven't checked back to see if newly-added things still work with their portrayal, and everything gets ruined because a follower thinks all is okay, but they bring up something the other mun actually didn't know about or want to incorporate from that newly-updated wiki. Even if something is only reworded on a wiki, it can give a massively impression of what happened to a muse. Writing is sensitive like that. Or, god forbid someone doesn't even read the wiki for their muse and just plops it on their blog, and they have no idea if people will interpret things wrong based on how the article is written in the first place. And wikis are boring, why subject people to them, especially if they have 5+ seasons of canon? Have you seen these these things? They're enormous! A different page for every season. Two thousand words on each page. That's ten thousand words, right there. It's as dry as reading a scientific paper, and it's longer in total than every single bio I've ever seen on here, and I've seen some real long ones. Then all the wikis that reference ten, twenty different events, which the follower also has to click on because otherwise, they don't have enough context! You want your followers to deal with that? Come on. In conclusion, bios are all around better, if the mun is even the least bit competent at writing. Way less chance for things to go wrong, be misinterpreted, for the follower to need to read 10 different pages and then need to remember where the heck they all were, if they need to reference them again later (and they will, obviously). Sorry.
