Bri-Keyes-1 wrote: I mean is this really your site No but Wikis are run by people who contribute to the articles. These "Editors" can be given roles within which help them to maintain the Wiki to a certain standard.

Each Wiki is allowed to have its own Admins and Mods and Editors and those people decide the rules of each Wiki, including banning disruptive people and making decisions on what is included and excluded in articles to prevent things like junk information being added.

So TLDR: I do not personally own the Wiki no, but Editors here run the site to ensure consistency and accuracy. I am one of those editors who has contributed here for a decade.

Bri-Keyes-1 wrote: Answer: a site for the community. Never disagreed on this part but the community here vote on how things are done. Per our Voting Policy, to get a vote on this wiki you must actively contribute to the Main articles of the Wiki (in line with our policies), and Forums are just not included in productive edits to main articles.

So yes, you are welcome to become part of our community, but to get a say in its upkeep you must demonstrate your dedication to its upkeep by editing on the Wiki as a whole. If you want to see our policies you can check them all out here and these will link you to how to edit the wiki. Or you can read this blog carefully.

We always welcome people who want to contribute to the Wiki. Sorry, posting in Forums about disagreeing with a policy is not considered productive contribution.

Bri-Keyes-1 wrote: Besides fandom is an overarching site, with subsections dedicated to every fandom out there. In essence the Bleach Fandom wiki isn't a dedicated site - it's a subsidiary of the larger Fandom website. Yes Bleach Wiki is a subsidy of Wikia or Fandom or whatever they are call now, but per the Terms of Wikis, each wiki is allowed its own rules and such, created by the dedicated editors, that allow them to ensure productive growth on the wiki.

Bri-Keyes-1 wrote: Also am I not contributing by discussing the issue of the Novels? See above for further information but our voting policy states that to be classified as a contributor with a vote: So no, sorry per our rules that does not count.
 * Out of these users only those who have been active (i.e. contributing to the wiki, not just forums) will be counted.

Bri-Keyes-1 wrote: I've edited and contributed to other wiki's here, but felt I needed to address that issue to make a contribution. Wikis are all separate entities run by different people with different rules and policies.

I, for example, wouldn't be able to go to another Wiki and change the rules as I see fit because, unless I am an active member there, my edits will just be undone and I would risk a ban as well from those Wikis.

Bri-Keyes-1 wrote: As for the game itself, yes it does subdivide story into side/main, but remember - the main story is what appeared in the manga, while the sub is what appeared in the anime or movies. Even then you can't really make that argument, since TYBW has only appeared as a small Event section sub story. So making that argument of yours would mean the TYBW arc isn't canon, yet it is. See not sure where you are getting this information but there is not a "Story Section" for the Thousand Year Blood War arc. It does not appear in any of the "Story" sections. CFYOW world DOES appear in the story section, just in the "Alternate Tales" section alongside Filler and Movie content.

Brave Souls is a game that has "Expansions" or new storylines added all the time. Arcs are released progressively and the Main Story Section has not YET moved beyond the Fullbringer arc.

Sure, the game holds events so they can release either event-only characters or characters they know people will like but they have not moved onto the final arc. Judging by how things have been done so far, there is no reason to state or assert, with any certainty, that they won't do the TYBW arc.

Bri-Keyes-1 wrote: Of course Kubo designs a lot of things, but his word is law for this series. If he says something is canon, it is canon. If he writes something into canon, then it is. Firstly, can you provide a link to where Kubo stated 100% that certain things are canon??

Secondly, read our Bleach Wiki:Canon Policy where it states:

"Novel's that are not written by the author of the series are not considered to be canon."

Bri-Keyes-1 wrote: Even the Zanpakuto designs from the anime only Zanpakuto Rebellion, are now canon. You are going to need to cite this claim, with words from Kubo himself because Zabimaru (Zanpakutō spirit), for example, has a completely different form in the Manga to the Anime filler arc.

He may have designed it, does not make it canon.

Bri-Keyes-1 wrote: My opinions: I'd also reckon the reason it (CFYOW) was placed where it was, is because it isn't in anime and manga form. See this does not make sense, because here are the filler arcs in the exact same section and they are lifted directly from the Anime.

Bri-Keyes-1 wrote: Another reason could also be because it would look very weird to have a main story arc, skip TYBW, straight onto CFYOW. It could be that KLab working with Kubo/Narita/Shueisha deem it a side story, since it's all background info for the main series. Could also be because the novels hero is Shuhei and he's not the main character in the main series. Finally it could be that way, because as a novel it isn't restricted by Studio Pierrot/Shueisha in the same way as the TYBW, which could mean we will be getting Bleach TYBW animated. This is all Speculation. You claimed that its inclusion in the Game proved that it was Canon. And yet the game does not include it in the Main Story. If, in the future, they do add CFYOW to the Main Story, then this might be able to be used as valid evidence of whether or not its Canon, but as it stands, with the story Novel sitting in the Alternate Tales section, it simple does not back up your claim. See our Bleach Wiki:Speculation Policy for more help. Information does not go into our articles unless it can be cited and abides by the policies.

But alas, all this is pointless because nothing has changed. You literally stated: Bri-Keyes-1 wrote: Honestly don't need the editing team here to agree with me. Which is blatantly false. at least, it is if you want the information to go into our manga-canon articles. As shown above, if you want to make valid contributions then you must abide by the rules. If you want a say, then become an Editor and Contribute to the Wiki in a way which abides by our Policies. Hope the helps.
