Forum:List of Techniques

I intend to do a list of techniques used in Bleach, can I have your go? (I'd post the question in the improvement/new pages forums but from experience these posts rarely lead anywhere). Weedefinition  (Talk)  16:15, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * We already have a Techniques page, so perhaps it would be better to expand that than creating a new page (if there's anything missing off of it). -- Yyp (Talk) 16:31, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

My idea was to list specific techniques like Shunpo, Shunkō, Senka, Nadegiri and the likes as well as Zanpakutō special abilities like Higa Zekkō, Some no mai, Tsukishiro and Getsuga Tenshō. Do you think that page could contain all that? Weedefinition  (Talk)  16:39, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't think we need something listing all the Zanpakuto techniques. That's covered quite well on the individual character pages and there are already category lists for them anyway: Overall techniques list, Zanpakutō techniques list & Resurrección techniques list, so I don't see the benefit of that. But for the rest, you can add them as sub-points under the existing headings (as below). -- Yyp (Talk) 17:05, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Zanjutsu
 * Nadegiri
 * Hakuda
 * Hohō
 * Shunpo
 * Senka
 * Utsusemi
 * Kidō
 * Shunko

My problem is that there is no article dealing directly with techniques. These category pages are OK, but since so few techniques have their own articles (if at all) a user rarely gets to see a link to those category pages, and not all users are Wiki savvy enough to find them. It's true that the specific techniques are dealt with in detail in the individual character pages, but that's no reason to not have a page that lists all the different items of the same group in one place; that argument negates the existence of any and all Wiki lists, and still they are a commonly used tool in all Wikis as well as this one. Truth be told, I'm sorry I ever brought it up because creating such a list would mean a lot of painstaking work and take a lot of time that I don't really have. Why don't you bring in the other admins and ask their opinion and I'll accept whatever you decide. Weedefinition  (Talk)  18:39, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * What exactly would an article dealing directly with techniques include, because if it is just going to be a list, then the Techniques page states that that is what it is for. How about doing up an example of it here so we can see what exactly you want it to be? -- Yyp (Talk) 20:22, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

I think I know where this is going and just to be clear its outlined in the Manuel of style. In it there is a section that simply states, All attacks are welcome to have their own personal page as long as:


 * Is an attack that is used, or can be used by more than one character, such as variations of Cero, Hierro, Kidō spells or etc.

Attacks that are character specific such as Nelliel's Lanzador Verde, Harribel's La Gota, and Byakuya's Senkei can be explained in said character pages and do not require their own.

Im not entirely sure why there is a category pages for any of them considering people arent likely to look for character specific techniques by name, when its far easier to remember the characters name and look it up on their page. Having said that a list on various techniques would be just as unnecessary. They would serve no other purpose then to do with the category page already does.

Oh well. Less work for me. :/ Weedefinition   (Talk)  21:01, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
