So which is it?

Does Ichigo have powers at all going by this wiki's logic?

Ignoring the canon status of the novels (which is a whole other can of worms), you do have a point though. The manga itself clearly states that Ichigo's Hollow, Quincy, and Shinigami powers are linked and one and the same. Yes, Yhwach was said to drained Ichigo's Quincy and Hollow powers, but since he could still use his Zanpakuto (a fusion of them all) later on, even in Bankai, suggests that they weren't fully drained and Ichigo still had them.

Besides, we saw that Liltotto and Bazz-B still had their Quincy powers and Schrift even after the Aushwahlen, so it does seem that Yhwach's drain is not permanent if it's not fatal.

Basically this wiki is trying to tell me that Ichigo currently is using his Shinigami powers with no Zanpakuto spirits at all.

And that's not possible in any sense of the word.

So if anybody can find me a source that says Shinigami can have Zanpakuto powers without a spirit then please I would like to see it.

Otherwise, the information is non-canon and the Quincy and Hollow powers aren't "Former"

You can choose one.
