I was from another wiki
I was browsing another wiki and i, in all honestly, saw Natsu from Fairy Tail as the thumbnail for this wiki... weird

You Suck KUPO! 01:25, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

Do you mean Kubo? And I don't see any change in the thumbnail. &#39;&#39;&#39;IamJakuhoRaikoben&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 01:42, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

Actually I see what the previous poster meant. In the "around the wikis" area, right at the bottom of the page, in the Bleach wiki banner, I just saw an image from Fairy Tail. Maybe it's just a small bug but it's still odd. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  01:57, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

O, my apologies to the previous poster, maybe i'm just blind. &#39;&#39;&#39;IamJakuhoRaikoben&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 02:04, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

I have notified Sannse, the issue should be fixed in a little--God (Pray)  04:01, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

@IamJakuhoRaikoben

It's a catchphrase of Moogles (KUPO!) from Final Fantasy... and i dont think Mr. Kubo sucks. BTW, thanks for whoever is fixing the issue...



You Suck KUPO! 02:24, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

O, I see well once again my apologies. &#39;&#39;&#39;IamJakuhoRaikoben&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 02:39, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

Interlanguage Linking
Hello. I am bureaucrat of Seireitei Library - the Russian Bleach Wiki. Can you add interlanguage link to main page? ^_^ --Dentor (talk) デントロ 08:02, July 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've added the link and thanks for linking to us. 14:42, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

I suggest that the wiki adds the status of each character. (Deceased or alive)
I suggest that the wiki adds the status of each character. (Deceased or alive)

We had that for every character in their articles however it led to arguments when fanboys want their favorite character to be alive and start changing the statuses and making up some crack theories on how they could be alive!! When Gin died and people started saying that he wasn't dead, when he clearly is, people started vandalizing the place because they wanted to be alive when he was clearly dead!! So the admins removed that information from the templates although their status is listed in the lists of characters, including Arrancar!! SunXia  (Chat)  11:01, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

First, please sign your posts with 4 tildes ( ~ ). Second of all, we used to do that, but that caused a lot of problems for us in the long run, so we decided to take that down. Arrancar109 (Talk)  11:05, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

Renaming Main Page
Reading over 5 Tips To Improve Your Wiki's SEO post from Wikia staff, should we be renaming the Main Page to "Bleach Wiki"? 10:47, August 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, if we are going for search engine optimization, you should probably add to MediaWiki:Pagetitle. That boosts it in addition to the rename of the main page.--


 * Good point, I've added something to it. If anyone can improve on that do say so. 20:17, August 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * With the page title, you want to keep it short. I would suggest, "Your guide to Tite Kubo's Bleach" or "The number one source for Bleach information".--
 * The ones I was looking at on other anime wikis didn't stick to that! I figure so long as it mentions Bleach and maybe Ichigo it is good, right? 20:41, August 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Probably doesn't even need Ichigo but yeah, if other animanga wikis have long ones I suppose it isn't hurting us.--

Well that was messier than it needed to be, but it is done. Thanks to IamJakuhoRaikoben for the help 22:01, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

Slide Show
Um, shouldn't the slide show at the main page be updated? It's just that Yamamoto joined the fight a while ago, and same with Ichigo's fullbring.

KuroHollow (talk) 06:52, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

I honestly think the slide show gives too much away when you have Manga cells showing certain characters having a fist shoved through their chest. You need to prevent spoilers being pushed out like that!!

Irkillroy (talk) 04:21, December 24, 2011 (UTC)

Manga takes precedent on this wiki, its only considered a spoiler if the information is not out in english. Therefore all this information on the sliders is already taken place and is pretty much common knowledge. Its not the only place the information is given. Personally if your only watching the anime, your doing yourself a disservice and not getting the real story as written and drawn by Tite Kubo.--Salubri (Talk)  04:59, December 24, 2011 (UTC)

If that's the case then all is well in regards to the anime-manga gap, however, let's be honest and say that not everyone who comes to the wiki has read all the bleach manga... there should still be some spoiler alerts when characters are mentioned to be killed or secretly having a second transformation. A wiki shouldn't be developed for the readers who have already gone through the whole series because they should already know all of this, it should be for designed and written for the casual reader who is looking for a bit more clarity on some culterally different situations (certain translations for example, a deeper explanation to why Unagi san's store is being thought to be an Eel shop). Additionally I want it to be known that I understand that "should" and "should not" is all opinion and by no means do I expect change.

Irkillroy (talk) 06:29, December 24, 2011 (UTC)

The point of a wiki is to provide the most information possible on a subject. For us, that includes keeping up to date information on the site. There is a spoiler warning on the main page. We make not attempt to hide that we have up to date information. If you do not like it, oh well.--

let's not make this an ego thing, I'm saying I like it or not, I'm disagreeing with a thought process wether it's on this site or not. besides, providing information in one format vice another is still providing information. It's all about how you write it, and personally I feel that a wiki should be written for the novice not the experienced. I won't comment on the tangent you are trying to take me on either as you don't understand my point.

Twitter feed
Why isn't the @WikiaAnime twitter feed on the main page? Most of the other manga/anime wiki's have it, and I think it would be okay to put it on the right column, beneath everything else. Why not? 14:40, October 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * We decided against it. We did not want new from other animanga series' showing on our main page. Twitter does nothing to bring editors to the site and we decided that if we ever wanted to put a twitter feed on our site, we would start our own.--


 * Okay then. 16:57, October 26, 2011 (UTC)

SOPA
This is maybe not the right place, but we are 100% in danger by SOPA so i wanna share this option for protest and beg to give the link on mainpage. http://www.screwattack.com/shows/originals/hard-news/hard-news-011812 Sanji Taichou (talk) 11:42, January 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * The SOPA protests are done. SOPA is shelved, it is not going to pass, neither will PIPA. No need to worry, move on.--

It's shelved, not stopped. This bill being on a temporary hold is still only counting the inevitable days that the bill will come around again. I spent days and days protesting this placing up blogs about it and heck, my weekly one will likely be covering it to some extent. The opposition to SOPA needs to stay strong, we can't just hope that it will be placed on hold forever. This wiki of all the wikis out there need to show some kind of opposition. The bill is NOT dead yet. And in order to represent our opposition we need to keep it strong. There will be no "moving on" from this bill until it's bit the dust. Sorry, but this can't be taken lightly. Both the PIPA and the SOPA are going to affect our way of editing here and we need to show that wikia will NOT stand for it. We're basically sitting ducks on here. Of course, editing this wiki and keeping the articles up to date is the more important factor, but none of us should stop our protests, of course don't do them to yesterday's extent but keep on showing your disaproval of this bill, it will destroy everything we've spent all our effort into editing. - Cathal O'Hara (Talk)  19:48, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Its been stopped. I work in politics. I can give you a listing of every senator and congressman and tell you whether they will vote for or against these bills. When you look at it, 42% chance that PIPA passes, 34% chance SOPA passes, 87% chance they are both vetoed 0% chance either bill could overcome a presidential veto. Its dead.--

That's still irrelevant, I'm not going to argue on this anymore but I'm NOT going to stop my protests against it until it is fully dead. The fact it's still alive is the matter that we need to watch out for it, I'm not going to go on about this but I thought this wiki would of still wanted to protest against it. Having the confidence to think it will stay dead though is a bold one, if you're so confident in your experience then so be it, but if other users want to protest, they should be given the right to. - Cathal O'Hara (Talk)  20:13, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

Did You Know...?
This is a minor thing but I felt that it should be pointed out. One of the facts on the Did You Know section on the homepage says that Byakuya Kuchiki is the third youngest captain in the Gotei 13. I was wondering if this meant he's the third youngest in history or of the current Gotei 13. Because in the current Gotei 13 I can't think of any captain younger than him other than Hitsugaya. Gin (who I assume you meant to have as the second youngest captain from the earlier Gotei 13) has been dead for a while now and has been replaced. So shouldn't the fact be fixed? Or be made clearer if it was meant to mean "in history"? Oneechanx3 (talk) 00:15, March 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well the point that is talking about is the beginning of the series when all the original captains were still in their positions. Byakuya is the third youngest, followed by Gin and then Hitsugaya. --Salubri (Talk)  02:37, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

But shouldn't it be specified that Byakuya was the third youngest captain at the beginning of the series? The way it is worded now implies that he still is. Oneechanx3 (talk) 03:10, March 8, 2012 (UTC)
