This is certainly not a new phenomenom on our Wiki. Personally would feel hypocritical to change this for two now just because the manga is over. I understand wanting more Bleach as I have invested hundreds of Pounds into it despite ironically being told I am not a proper fan, but I am a fan of Kubos work. Not work that is i spired by him. He has consulted on many filler arcs or novels or movies before it ended and those are not treated any different to those two novels. Those translations also feel like reading children schoolwork which is not immersive to me. It's sad that the light novels are the closest thing to a definitive answer regarding unresolved plot threads that we're likely to get, and all this arguing over the canonicity of the light novels bemuses me. No-one questioned whether Fate/Zero was considered canon to the story of Fate/Stay Night despite it not having been written by Kinoko Nasu, but I guess times have changed since then. I recall there being a similar debate regarding the canonicity of the Naruto light novels on that wikia page, but that died down when they were adapted into the anime... though that's highly unlikely that will happen with Bleach's light novels.
