Picture Change Guidelines
As per the Image Policy, nominate and discuss changes to the profile pictures of the character articles here and only here. The typical requirements for a profile picture are that it shows the character facing forward, in their typical attire and should not be battle-worn. They should be centered, have good lighting, and be of good quality. Candidates also must have valid and complete and  templates attached to them or else they will be rejected.

Only one "Support" vote per user. Votes will be open only for a week of the initial pic being placed. At the end of the week the highest rated pic will win. If no pick is a clear winner, than an admin with pick the pic. If another pic is brought up after the picture is picked then the voting begins again with the pic that has already been picked and the new pic or pics.

Cyan Sung-Sun
Lastly is good ol' Sung-Sun. As above, the Current has colors, but the Proposal is zoomed in/focused on her and has some more detail for her mask fragments.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:21, 18 October 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) This is the one TB anime profile image I think works. Sung-Sun's character design is pretty black-and-white-focused to begin with, so the darker tones don't affect much, and the manga image needing to include part of Mila Rose and Apacci just to meet the size requirements for the infobox always irked me; now we have a version that cuts them out entirely! Oh, and the extra detail on her face is appreciated as well.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:21, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) I wish the anime image were a little less fuzzy, but it still fits the profile picture guidelines better than the manga one.  Mohrpheus   (Talk)  02:28, 27 October 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) For me, the manga wins out only because of the distance of the shot. You get to see a bit more of Sung-Sun in the image. Plus the colors are more pleasing. The anime has no text bubbles, but that the only pro. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 15:58, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Getsuga Tenshō
This is one I've been waiting to do ever since we confirmed that the anime would be using the canon golden color for the GT, and now we have proper material for it. Though I would personally recommend we cut the GIF short to not end on Ichigo being shocked at Quilge remaining unharmed by the dang thing, this shows 1) Ichigo rearing back and charging up the technique, 2) the technique being released directly from his blade, and 3) it transforming from a crescent to an energy surge as it so often does - exactly what we need out of a main GIF for this and which all the other current options lack one or more of (aside from the nuclear black one he used in Karakura Town, but we're going for a Shikai version anyway).--Xilinoc (talk) 02:37, 4 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) But of course!--Xilinoc (talk) 02:37, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Agreed. Aside from the final bit about Quilge being unharmed, I think it works great. Timjer (talk) 08:38, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) This works for me. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 21:12, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Berenice Gabrielli

 * 1) As proposer. Lighting isnt the beeeeeeeeeest but i think its miles better than the manga one.Edanakas (talk) 17:58, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Looks good. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 03:52, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) Agreed. Timjer (talk) 18:47, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) So long, throat-ripping manga panel...--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 5) Better then manga panel.Jiny Mory (talk) 17:21, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Loyd Lloyd

 * 1) As proposer. ditto for the ditto fighter, (har har)Edanakas (talk) 18:14, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Looks very good. I have no objections. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 03:52, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) Agreed again. Timjer (talk) 18:47, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) Good stuff, glad we got a clean shot of him.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Cang Du

 * 1) As proposer. Not the best, we might get stuff better later but i think its good enough for now.
 * 2) Seems good enough so far. Timjer (talk) 21:43, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) I have no complaints. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 03:54, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) Forgot this was the shot we've been using for him all this time, but the anime version works for me too.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 5) Why not? Jiny Mory (talk) 17:21, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Jerome Guizbatt

 * 1) As proposer. This one is kinda awkward, albeit. Tho its really the best we got. Better than his corpse from the manga imo. Edanakas (talk) 22:05, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) It much better than the manga version. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 03:55, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) He's alive and there's space around his head...it'll do.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) Definitely better choice then manga one.Jiny Mory (talk) 17:21, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Chōjirō Sasakibe
So, I was thinking of adding a second profile pick to Chōjirō's page's infobox. Showing him in his younger days, similar to what we did to Yamamoto. Timjer (talk) 21:43, 7 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer. Timjer (talk) 21:43, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) looks good to meEdanakas (talk) 22:05, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) I support this. Xeno Gotenks (talk) 03:56, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 4) Huh, thought we'd already integrated that into his infobox...but I uploaded it to be there, so yeah!--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 5) Looks good.

Mask De Masculine
Long time coming on this one - Mask was probably the most egregious victim of the colored manga using the colors from chapter 547's spread and never correcting them to 640's because, well, his face is mostly color (and it's a pretty crappy combo, too). Thankfully, unlike with Bazz-B the anime does use the right colors for him, and we've already got a good shot of him. Maybe a more high-definition replacement will come along (optimally in lighting that isn't fricking overcast for once), but for now I think this will do.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) As proposer.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Agreed. Timjer (talk) 09:31, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Jugram Haschwalth
First good shot of Jugo, though not without its flaws - still overcast/muted lighting and his face is...a little wonky? I don't know about the chin...--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Actually gonna vote this one down with some additional consideration, the manga suffices for now with the on-modelness and color.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Yhwach
Didn't expect to get a good shot of the main man so soon, but here we are. It's surprisingly 1:1 with the current manga pic despite not being the same moment - just a bit more zoomed in, Swaggy Y.H.'s smirking instead of stoicing, and of course overcast lighting instead of neutral coloring. (oh, and if anyone complains that this isn't the real guy - neither is the manga pic and we have precedent for using imitators as profile images)--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) As usual, I'd love to get a BRIGHTER shot from the anime one of these days, but I think this is fine; nice to finally have a higher resolution main image for Yhwach, and he's usually smirking instead of frowning anyway.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Also agreed. Timjer (talk) 09:31, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Driscoll Berci
First multi-choice in a while (and I don't see this particular character getting another one, ever, so why not?) The one good facial shot we got of this crisp man in the manga was pretty zoomed-in on his face at the expense of his hair and shoulders, in addition to having his hand in the way, and now we have alternatives that resolve one or both of those problems - Proposal 1 zooms out to show his entire head + shoulders but keeps the hand and is at a slight angle, while Proposal 2 is fully frontal with no hand but has Driscoll himself looking down and cuts off his hair a bit. Variables!--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Gotta go with Proposal 2 here - looks and feels better to have him truly centered, even if he's not looking right at the camera, and the background is full of bloody bodies just to set the mood.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) For Proposal 2 as well.09:31, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 3) Proposal 2.Jiny Mory (talk) 17:21, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Bambietta Basterbine
Haaaaaaaaaa...now this is a character that will definitely get more discussions in the future, mainly due to her ever-alternating design. For those who don't remember or weren't around for the weekly chapter releases, for whatever reason Kubo alternated between drawing Bambietta like a 14-year old and drawing her like a 22-year old - the latter came after the first invasion, and the two looks would sometimes swap during chapters for extra confusion. She's not actually aging up and down either, so it wouldn't make sense to do a dual profile image setup like for characters we see at different ages...so basically, we gotta pick whichever one fits her better overall.

Back in the day, we settled for the adult look since that's more or less where she stuck at, but I figured people would complain if we didn't at least put up the first proper shot we've gotten of her in the anime for debate, so here we are. Visual age difference (and lack of gold trim on the cap) aside, this doesn't have any objections from me aside from the dang lighting - it looks like the anime is preserving the colored manga's purple hair for Bambi, so that's not a factor here either. What say you all?--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) The lack of a speech balloon is a big plus for me. Besides, we can always still replace it if we find a better one in the future. Timjer (talk) 12:39, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Given a choice between these two, I have to go with the Current one for the better lighting and showing her in her adult styling.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Manga pic looks a lot better.Jiny Mory (talk) 17:21, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto (Young)
Honestly I myself could go either way with this. The manga image was perfect enough as it is, and the anime one is rather zoomed in. I'll leave it up to others to decide. Timjer (talk) 12:38, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Oh, I forgot about this one. Yeah, gotta default to the manga since it shows his entire head (and the fact that he used to have hair!)--Xilinoc (talk) 17:14, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

New wiki background and possible logo changes
I was playing around with some of the Burn the Witch assets I found and made some new wiki background concepts. I made a background, a "header banner" and a new logo. Do you guys like any of the new concepts?

-- 16:11, August 24, 2020 (UTC)


 * 1) Been wanting a new header banner for a while now but the editor kept glitching so I never got to fool around with it - your proposal looks great. Same with the new logo and background, as much as I love the final arc and as much as our current logo has grown on me, right now it's BTW time (I'd be open to bringing back this BG when the anime starts airing again, though, then maybe capping it all off with a "dual banner" of Ichigo/Rukia/Noel/Ninny after it's all said and done).--Xilinoc (talk) 16:29, August 24, 2020 (UTC)

Yeah I’m open for a “dual background” and I would have done one, but there isn’t any key art for the anime yet, so I think this will do fine for the moment. -- 16:37, August 24, 2020 (UTC)

Support the wordmark and banner, but not the background. Its time for a change I think, but it should be the characters and it should include proper Bleach characters first and foremost. While its only right that BtW be acknowledged since its the only new content right now, it shouldnt supersede the original which is 95%+ of what the wiki is about. 09:12, August 25, 2020 (UTC)


 * Agree with Yyp. I support the wordmark and banner as well. While I admit the proposed background looks awesome, it kinda detracts from the fact that this wiki is still primarily about Bleach, not its spinoff. Timjer (talk) 09:23, August 25, 2020 (UTC)


 * Fair points, both of you. I'll try making a background to satisfy all parties later, but for now I say move ahead with the logo and background.--Xilinoc (talk) 11:50, August 25, 2020 (UTC)

I can refine the logo a bit (I was doing it on the fly) and move on using the header if all parties agree.-- 20:33, August 25, 2020 (UTC)

I created another logo concept -- 20:08, August 26, 2020 (UTC)

Managed to add the banner pic. Took a surprising amount of cropping, resizing to get it positioned right. Im sure itll surprise nobody that it doesnt show up on the Discussion page... 14:02, October 15, 2020 (UTC)
