"We can add an "Appearances in Other Media" list onto the individual technique pages, rather than listing them with anime & manga canon characters" - Arrancar109

This seems like the best solution to me. It addresses the concern of not being canon and keeping canon/non-canon separate, but keeps the info there. (PS sorry for disappearing so abruptly for a couple of days. That was bad timing, but I'm back now). 14:12, December 23, 2011 (UTC)

I think it is time for Tjakari to go. He obviously has no interest in contributing and only wants to troll and/or insult the wiki. Take a look at his latest blog.--


 * Just thought I'd say something about this silly warring thing that has been going on, one-sided of course!! Dopp contacted the Admins of DB Wiki about the trolling users, the Bureaucrat being 10X Kamehaha(SP??) who responded quite nastily but whatever, he told her that those people can't be banned for something they are doing outside of DB and that users that were involved and are regular users apparently apologized (must have been an invisible apology) so they consider the matter closed!! However, upon observation, he does seem to be taking tighter measures on Trolling at that Wiki so hopefully this will mean a change of attitude!! Personally, I don't like how they address each other there and rude people are only banned for a week at a time but their wiki, their rules, just feels like it's hardly a punishment!! He also said that the deletion of our main character's page was a minor issue and that we should be prepared with more staff on hand!! The issue isn't being our rollback, we don't care about that, but the point is we shouldn't have to deal with that level of vandalism from the same source and that Dopp was merely asking that the attitude towards our Wiki be toned down since it's beyond the realms of pathetic now, however, he got all defensive and started stating the obvious about his powers and missed the point about influencing the attitudes there but yeah, hardly surprising!! Hopefully, now that they are finally cracking down, this sort of tripe will stop!! Just a few observations I made!! SunXia   (Chat)  21:34, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

A Real & New(ish) Solution to Tenken stuff
To emphasize: I don't mean to stir up anything long thought settled, but Godisme suggested you'd be the one to talk to about this, and with there seeming to be a fine and true solution to the "issue" at last--one which I think would be best, too--I wanted to run it by you, with my reasoning, and get your feedback.

The crux of the solution and reasoning is discussed--with embedded text links of further supporting data--here; for some of the response Godisme makes on my page, see here.

The most recent raising of this issue can be seen (if somehow it was missed) here; it gets lengthy and may tire you out, tho (XD), so use caution. But as I said, I don't meant to revive a tedious issue, but to offer the new solution linked to and delineated above. In summation: when terms have culturo-mythic references (such as Myōō referring to a vidyaraja, or Enma to Yama), I use these referred-to names, even in my English translation. But I would also like to link to these referents via their text, even as we already do with, say, linking "Spiranthes" for elucidation to its Wiki page in the Nejibana translation. Thus, the translation would not be altered, but would also immediately link to its references for better understanding of its meaning. In the "Karin + Yuzu" topic of Sunrider84's archive, Yyp likewise mentions this practice already in use for non-familiar, untranslated/specialized-use Japanese words.

I hope you agree with this, as I think it would prove the neatest and least-obtrusive solution. Please let me know :). Adam Restling (talk) 01:40, December 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your feedback. I find myself usually compelled by people's questions, at least until I've given it a good shot.


 * But I hadn't meant to insinuate I was driven against reason to accede to an unreasonable demand, although neither was I trying to make more work and possible heartache for you guys.


 * The proposal Xcetron now puts forth is, as he(?) says on his(?) page, was originally mine: to keep the translations, e.g. Kokujō Tengen Myōō "vidyaraja of Kalasutra's heavenly punishment", but to merely embed the direct links to its referents in the translation, hence this case would become > "vidyaraja of Kalasutra's heavenly punishment"; the translation abides, but is instantly searchable without need for additional clunkiness therein. This is why I cited cases on other Wikis where we already do this, such as the Nejibana/Spiranthes linkage.


 * I'm fond of doing this in my posts everywhere for better understanding, esp. if they're obscure(r) references, so that any users can easily click the links I so-embed and get an enriched sense of my intentions with the greatest of ease. That's why it's what I myself would recommend: a tidy, easy solution which makes exploring the greater nuances a snap with minimal effort on the part of all :).


 * But to reiterate: though I would suggest this be the best solution, and hope you'll implement it, I do so not to cater but because I like the idea, and use it regularly myself. And also, I'd hope that you and the other mods/admins would approve this approach... that is, if it doesn't seem too unreasonable. Please let me know, and sorry for any tedium and mental exhaustion I've caused with my ramblings XD. Adam Restling (talk) 23:28, December 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much, although, as always, I'll leave the actual changing/editing/etc. to the experts and authorities, as every time I try to do such myself, I end up crashing the Internet or something XD. And, of course, it pends their approval, as well. Adam Restling (talk) 04:25, December 25, 2011 (UTC)

I know I'm late but I had to work, Merry Christmas to you as well!! Enjoy the rest of the Holiday season!! On a side note, been looking for an image for Kūgo's sword when I can and it's so hard to get a high quality shot!! I'll keep searching but I also looked into a Gif although I have concerns about Gifs being so close together!! But anyway, Happy Christmas!! SunXia  (Chat)  18:17, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

This may be late, but a Merry Christmas to you. Happy Holidays! ---Mr. N (Discuss)   03:30, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I'm bureaucrat at pl.bleach.wikia.com. Can you request at community for the language affiliated wiki links? This is a useful feature that can connect all pages of this BW wiki community. I can create interwiki links by bot. Are you interested? I apologize for any errors. —Ponurak (zapytaj) 16:35, December 26, 2011 (UTC)
