Forum:Proposed changes to character template

In light of the new story arc occuring in the manga, I image that once this story arc makes it to the anime, there will be a lot of changes to the lead image in many character articles as there will be updates to the now older characters. I think that some characters (such as Yuzu Kurosaki and Tatsuki Arisawa) look different enough that it may confuse some people making them wonder who these new characters are. I would like to propose a change to the lead character templates that includes a manga image (such as I have shown at right; however, I imagine that changes could be made to make things fit better). I feel these changes could serve many functions:

1. It allows us to preserve the image of the original (younger) character that we've all been accustomed to over the past 10 years of Bleach's existence.

2. It would allow an opportunity for us to display the debut image of a character as Tite Kubo first wanted us to be introduced to in the manga.

3. It would allow an opportunity to present an image of the character from the manga. Most character articles contain no manga images (and in fact many characters have zero manga images in their image galleries). I feel this would be good to have since there may be differences in appearances between anime and manga. (As in Yoruichi's case, I think the way Tite Kubo drew the cat image of her in the manga, it looks like an actual cat. The anime version looks like some horrid demonic beast).

Additionally, I would like to propose that the "First appearance" section of the template be moved up a bit (perhaps before "Professional Status"). Please discuss if including a "debut manga image" would be a good addition to the articles. --Tea time (talk) 06:11, July 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * We already told you we are not doing this.--

From the response in the last forum thread, I do not believe I was clear enough in my proposal for changes. Before, I was just talking about including more manga pics in articles in general, here I have a displayed more clearly a very specific proposal with clear reasonings. --Tea time (talk) 06:38, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

And still we are not doing this. We have an appearance section and plot sections for a reason. We get that you prefer the manga but if a person wants to see a manga pic, they can look at the galleries.--


 * As I mentioned, many characters have few to none manga images in their galleries. Also, this forum is subtitled to be a "community decision-making process", not to be dictated by one member. I would like to hear more opinions from other members before we close the case on this.--Tea time (talk) 06:50, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

As the head of the policy and standards committee, I can tell you that this will not be done. There is no need. This is not about improving the articles, this is about your obsession with the manga and hatred of the anime.--

As the 2d Seat of the Policy & Standards Committee, I have not said anything in this regards as I have quietly supported Godisme's judgement!! I commend you for this effort however, that template wouldn't suit our articles which are detailed enough as they stand!! I oppose this change!! The Admins and Committee have already opposed this idea!! SunXia  (Chat)  15:04, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
