Board Thread:Improvements and Issues/@comment-957629-20170706231333

Ok I think we need a full proper discussion here on the Wiki about things continually being brought up multiple times both here, on the Wiki and elsewhere. Its usually being brought up by users who do not have a strong history in editing and expanding articles here so it would be helpful to have everyone's (admins and team members) input.

As much as it ended badly, or too quickly for people and thus contributing to bad feelings, the Manga for all intents and purposes, is over and finished. As is, for now and future so far, the Anime. As much as there is still a lot being worked on for the Manga and Anime as improvement is always fundamental in growth, there is a large Elephant in the room, or multiple large elephants, in the form of Other Bleach Media.

The Manga may have ended and while I do not advocate ever taking the focus of this Wiki away from the Manga as the official source of Bleach, other Bleach media is continually being produced. At the moment it looks like there is a Live action Film being produced (someone recently sent me this) and Novels have been released since last Summer.

Almost a year has passed and people are worried the Wiki is becoming Stagnant in terms of the new "other media" Bleach sources not being included.

We are not the only wiki that faces this type of conundrum as when a franchise reaches a certain size, it becomes like a tree that is grown in different directions. Look at Star Wars as an example and how that Wiki had to deal with those major changes. They have different sorts of canon and EU and books and such that while reflecting the ever evolving nature of that world, before Disney bought those rights, they were still able to reflect the difference between Film Canon and EU canon despite the film always being the source.

Man this is long winded and I would not like any arguments here as I know people are passionate one way or another so I would like at least not to have insults. Personally I am proud of the work we have all put into this Wiki and proud of how it exists as the paramount collection of Bleach information.

However I think we need to publicly discuss how we all would like to move forward with the Wiki in light of "Other Media" being the only active side of Bleach at this moment in time. Please guys try to be polite, I don't want to annoy anyone but I think its time to have this Discussion as Editors, not just fans demanding things of the Editors here. And we also need to have a single place for this discussion as multiple blogs and topics splits the conversation.
