no like genuinely what happened that the beef started They are not new users. They do love to propagate this lie of "Won't let us edit" yeah no what they mean is that they want it their way and if they don't get it they resort to insults.

When the issue of these novels began rising I opened a thread within which, you can see by the dates, that the Manga articles could have tabs added on to reference things like Novels and such but only AFTER the articles FOR those Novels, that have lay bare for years, were filled out. You can also see that it was years ago we decided this so now that Timjer has agreed to edit the pages for the novels we can now start to move forward. This is not new and was not influenced by them.

Each time those users would come here and, knowing its not part of our policy, add the information to Manga canon articles from the Novels. Each time they added the information, it was reverted and they would accost whoever did it and told to fill out the articles for the novels if it was so important for them to have the novels on the Wiki.

Wikis are voluntary, none of us have access to the Novels as they are Japanese and thus we have to read Amateur translations (ie not professional work as MissStormCaller does not get paid for it to be published) which are very difficult to work with.

The Novel articles you can find here and they have lay bare since their creation. And yet they mentioned nothing until these novels were released. Yes it's a nice narrative to go to Reddit and encourage abuse with misleading lies that we wouldn't allow them to edit. We did allow them to edit just not the way they wanted as why should their opinion matter more than people who have dedicated over a decade to this site? Because they think their opinion should matter more? No.

We encouraged them time and again to edit the articles for the Novels and they never bothered. Just insulted us over and over and lambasting our opinions because we want to maintain consistent and have the Novels separate as we always have. Given their history of causing negative disruption with our members (see my previous post) this was the last of a very long straw they were given.
