open Idk Anime
I'm trying this remember this anime, but I can't find it. So in the first episode there was this guy who couldn't find his dad and he was with another guy and girl. His dad however left him this machine that summoned a white polar bear. Around episode 3 the girl got a machine herself and named it charger.
openNo Title Anime
So this is an old issue, but there's a Spell My Name With An S disagreement on ∀ Gundam with Loran/Rolan here
. Currently the pages have been edited twice to change Loran to Rolan.
On the one hand, 90% of the time I've seen it, it's Loran, and in the one official localization of anything Turn A (thank you, Development Hell...) his name is Loran. On the other, Sinxxx points out a Retconned translation of Ple/Purus in said official source, but since that source is currently the only English translation, I'm inclined to say that we should stick with Loran. (ETA: According to the character trope page, the official site and artbooks went with Rolan, but I'm pretty sure those are in Japanese, not English.)
Personally I prefer Loran, but I know the Gundam Wiki uses Rolan. There's also an instance of the name being written Rolan in the anime itself, but L/R's have been confused before in Gundam (e.g. Mobile Fighter G Gundam's "Rock On" for "Lock On" in one episode) so I wouldn't call that hard evidence. It would probably be a good idea to settle it rather than have someone switch them all every few months.
Edited by eowynjediopenTrying to add an Incredibles/MHA crossover page Anime
Hello, I think this fanfiction is worthy of having its own page:
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13466524/1/My-Incredible-Academia
as well as being mentioned in fanfic recs/fan works for both MHA and Incredibles in the crossover section but I'm not sure how to do it myself. Even though I go on Tv Tropes a lot I have only recently made my own account so still getting to grips with it. I could do with some help please.

openWould the 'LGBT Fanbase' trope go into multiple entries of a franchise without a general YMMV? Anime
Wondering about adding a specific entry for the trope for the YMMV of Magia Record, one of the Madoka spinoffs. Now Madoka itself has a entry for the original anime under the trope, but the YMMV page is for the original anime, not the franchise as a wide, while Record has quite a few specific examples to it. Would there be any issue in adding a specific entry for Record's YMMV about LGBT Fanbase?
openBastard!! - page name question Anime
I noticed that the page for Bastard 1988 specifies the year in the work name, but the page itself also covers the 2022 adaptation, and the page image is from the 2022 adaptation as well.
I would suggest the 1988 be dropped from the page name — I think just "Bastard!!" is more appropriate, if the page is going to cover multiple iterations of the work — but I am not familiar with it at all (was browsing randomly), so I don't think I should make that decision.
I don't know if that would mean the WikiWord should change as well, which is a larger project.
Again, since I'm not familiar with the work, if people don't think it's an issue, no worries. If there are any changes that don't require having read or seen it, I'm happy to make them.

The anime My Hero Academia, in spite of being an anime that follows a detailed plot lacks a recap page. Can someone construct the page itself with other's adding to it progressively?
