New Stuff
Just some changes to the main page and so forth to go over as a possibility. Was thinking that we may make the quote a weekly thing rather then monthly. There is a large amount of quotes on the site to provide for this. We can feature a "Did you know section" basically showcasing trivia but nothing like maybe be defined things. Like Yamamoto has been captain-commander for over 1000 years. At least 5 can be featured. I also thought that it maybe time to reach out to the other language bleach wiki's. I know the possible issue it could bring but they basically follow our lead anyhow, on material from what i can gather. --Salubri (Talk)  05:20, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

Did you know section is a good idea. I'll go along with that. What did you have in mind with the other language versions of the site? 14:45, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

Something simple like a outreach program kind of, you know we definitely need to have some ties to the japanese but others as well. Just simply have us acknowledge each other nothing crazy. --Salubri (Talk)  16:17, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

Seems like a good idea. The Quote of the Week thing may not fly right away, but we might be able to make it work. Reaching out to the other language wikis could be a bit tricky, but doable. We already link to them on the articles, so linking to them on the main page would work too. Other than this, did you have anything else in mind regarding it?

Not really just officially acknowledging them. --Salubri (Talk)  16:59, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

Translation Issues
It seems though we have a significant problem on are hands. Translation is a big issue to a site such as ours because the content is largely all based on another language. A language the vast majority of us cant translate. Now its come to my attention that although Adam has been somewhat inconsistent in the past he is down right gone. That is unless he is given another reason. He seems to have come back at a period but has made no acknowledgements that he is here or working on anything. The translation corner is getting back up with translation requests that I personally dont think will ever get translated. Basically what im saying is that we seem to have fallen into a situation where we have no translator at a time when we definitely need one. To make the problem worse is that we have users in multitude placing the translated information onto the site. I for one dont take anything from Bleach Asylum or various other outlets of highly questionable credibility. Though I hate to say it we can either find a credible site or we can find a credible translator from somewhere. We are in a situation where we need someone sooner rather then later. --Salubri (Talk)  05:34, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

As the other translator on the corner, I've left a message with MarqFJA to see if he's still around. Didn't Tinni use some contact of hers to clear up a translation problem a while ago? I believe it was something to do with Yamamoto calling Ukitake & Shunsui the strongest pairing. Can't remember clearly but I think they were a group or individual that provided spoilers. Also, I started coming here just as his activity was going down, but I seem to remember that Whitestrike did some translating, no? 21:58, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Upgrades
Once again its time for some upgrades to the site. Is there anything new that other sites use that you would like to see possibly implemented here.--Salubri (Talk)  03:26, December 25, 2011 (UTC)

First, apologies for my rather sporadic activity the past week or so. I think I should be back to normal on Friday. The new table's you've been doing are a very good idea. I haven't been looking around other wikis a whole lot lately due to time constraints and losing interest a little, but I'll have a look around over the coming weekend and see if there is anything out there that would be useful here. 18:24, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

Couple of interesting things that I've seen around. Worth looking at at least. I'll keep looking around 17:10, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) On Reborn Wiki, they have a thing in their infoboxes that allows then to put two pictures in, one for before and after a time skip. See example here. It looks complicated and might be a pain to implement (code), but if it could be used it would be useful here for showing the differences in some characters from the time skip (or Mayuri's changing faces) etc.
 * 2) Salubri mentioned at the top of this page about reaching out to the other language Bleach Wikis. How does this on Fallout Wiki seem to you guys (bottom of page)? If we did it, it could link to the Bleach Answers wiki, (maybe the fanon wiki if they were kind enough to do the same on their main page?).
 * 3) A few wikis have a "on this day" type thing on their main page or wikia activity page. Typically note things like character (or editor) birthdates, important in story dates, author's birthday. We get asked about character birthdays an awful lot on the answers wiki and that would be a way of meeting that demand. I'm considering putting something like that on the answer wiki's main page to cut down on it, as it is really annoying.


 * I thought about it and looking at the page lengths Im thinking the character articles can be supplemented with the tab at the top method. I would mean stuff like the appearance in other media, relationships, Trivia and Quotes. Also I was thinking of implementing that for the Kido page as well. What are your thoughts. --Salubri (Talk)  19:27, January 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * It might be a good idea. I can see this working with the main Kido page as well, since certain games and movies have unique Kido spells/devices, so it would work there. Relationship pages I feel very neutral about (as in, whether or not we need them), since only very few characters actually have the section listed. In that sense, we should try to make it a point to expand that with other characters. Not top priority, but at some point, we should try to expand it on other character pages as well. This could also help expand the Plot on certain movie sections of these characters' pages too, since a few concerns have been brought up about this some time ago, but the structure of that particular tab itself would require deeper discussion before we put it into action. I also entertained the thought of adding the Battles & Events sections to the tabs as well, but I think it would do better on the main character page.

 * Ill work it out on the Kido page and possibly Ichigo's page so you can see what I mean and then we can decide from there. --<font color="00BFFF" size="2px">Salubri <font color="1E90FF" size="2px">(Talk)  20:25, January 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * I like the changes to the kido page a lot. Very well done. And the tabs are a good way to bring in a link to the image gallery. I came across something else that might be useful. On Stargate Wiki when you create a page there are preloaded basic layouts of pages. That would be good for creating basic pages for the new episodes & chapters every week. The templates for it can be seen in this category and this special page 21:40, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

Character Statuses
God recently brought character statuses back to my attention and proposes that we should take off character statuses from character lists and perhaps tables as well. I know we already took character statuses off of the character infoboxes, as well as removed the "Deceased" category, so this would probably be the last step without changing the "Plot" sections of the articles. I know we have some history of edit wars regarding these listed statuses, so it's something we probably should discuss. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  03:59, January 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * I already stated my stance on that where God initially posted it. Being against such an action for numerous reasons. Most importantly the character articles themselves dont address death except for the lesser popular characters. So in no way can you say that character is dead even from reading the article, so how does anyone know. The use of status is a mainstay of every other decent movie/tv/book/manga/anime site without incident and i already removed the status off character pages. I feel no need to cave to minority outside pressure because users here cant be bothered to revert vandalism. As I said originally by that notion we should make similar changes to the background color, policies. The fact is the pages that have status can be easily locked they are rarely edited regardless. --<font color="00BFFF" size="2px">Salubri <font color="1E90FF" size="2px">(Talk)  05:10, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Disabling the RTE
Proposal to disable the Rich Text Editor at Forum:Disabling the RTE. Could use admin input. 19:05, February 16, 2012 (UTC)
