Bleach: Wandenreich issue popped up again. To remind, the previous event was that Kubo spelt it Wandenreich, but it was decided to leave it as Vandenreich as per official translation.
I've PM'd the guy doing the changes and he says he didn't know. So can we get a revert on the page?

This is regarding the trope known as "The Nth Doctor". I've been thinking, might works like Pokemon and Digimon count? The monsters transform, sometimes permanently, and their temperament and often their personality traits are changed. I mean, think how Palmon gets more belligerent as Togemon, and and more girly as Lilymon. Their voice actors can change, too, which seems important in Digimon since most speak human tongue.
But it seems there has to be an element of especial actor-changing-necessity going on. So if I'm off here, I'm sure there must be at least one instance of a Digimon or Pokemon being written to evolve, for the sake of changing from an unavailable voice actor...

WhatHappenedToTheMouse.Anime And Manga has a WMG, a Headscratchers, a Radar, and a Characters subpage.
Exactly how do you cutlist a subpage again?
Edit: After checking, Animated Films also has a Radar and a Characters subpage.
Now I'm getting nervous about the other pages in WHTTM.

The image for Magical Girl comes from www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=19619705, and the page doesn't have a source on the art. Should I link the image to the pixiv, or leave it? Also, if I were to link it, what code would I use?

I did a review of Neon Genesis Evangelion when I watched the series about a year ago, but I now want to do a retrospective review, while leaving the original review up. Is this OK?

On the Battle Spirits, is it alright to put places where the fansubs can be watched? The series isn't avaialbe any other way, also should I put the locations on each of the game's anime pages?

Does training your body and striving to acquire Charles Atlas Superpower "in case something happens" and getting used to fighting in most body conditions count as downplayed Crazy-Prepared?

On Characters.Bleach Vandenreich El Hombre De Los Moleculos insists on putting the following entry:
- Expy: He bears more than a passing resemblance to Jim Gordon. The similarities mostly end there, however.
The first time Wyldchyld removed it due to "Expy needs to be deliberate, not fan associations."
El Hombre put with back with the following edit reason: "It's...pretty damn deliberate. You'd have to be blind not to see the intent. So, don't be an obnoxious trope nazi."
Wyldchyld pulled the entry to the discussion page.
Now El Hombre put it back, outright ignoring the discussion. Edit reason: "Taken out of the discussion page, and where it belongs. Once more, stop being an obnoxious trope nazi. This site doesn't revolve around your own personal sensibilities."

It looks like somehow two separate pages have been created for the same new show: Sekai Seifuku Bouryaku No Zvezda and Sekai Seifuku. What is the proper method for correcting this?

Edit War on Heaven's Lost Property.
I pulled Killed Off for Real examples to discussion because the manga hasn't ended and All Deaths Final is not in effect. Neo Handler Of Justice reverted my edit without consensus, and left a rude edit reason and response in the discussion page.

Got a potential troublemaker on Bleach pages: Kahlan Amnell
has removed references to Platonic Life-Partners about Ichigo and Rukia. As far as I can tell from a Google search, it's a legit reference.

Where do Light Novels go? I usually see them put under Anime (since most popular Light Novels seem to be anime), but that seems to like it'd be inaccurate since... well... they're technically Literature.

Just a quick question: I have already twice asked (through a holler) that the discussion page for Manga.Minami-ke would be moved to Manga.Minami Ke (the current place of the article), but the discussion hasn't be moved (despite other discussion moves asked at the same time being done properly).
Is there a technical problem preventing this move? If that's the case, I won't insist on it.

YMMV.Suite Pretty Cure got
just some YMMV items removed without edit reasons from someone who imitated my handle. Given the history, it might be a vandal/recurring troublemaker.
Save for 1-2 items, they all look legit.

(Medium listed as Anime as the page involved is in that medium, although the question itself is medium-neutral)
The question is: Can pages be split based on YMMV tropes?
Specifics: Characters.Detective Conan One Scene Wonders is relatively old; it was first created as a folder within Characters.Detective Conan and later split into a separate article, together with other content, in 2012. While as a Long Runner, Detective Conan has a large amount of One-Scene Wonder examples, OSW is a YMMV trope. So, is it appropriate to keep that page as is, or should I re-organize it, or at least, rename it?

Could a mod please look at the cutlist and preventively decline specifically the two requests for "Manga/D Gray Man" and "Main/D Gray Man".
I completely flubbed those two (didn't see it was missing the hyphen when doing the copy-and-paste) and I wouldn't want a distracted cut to happen on those two pages, since the list is getting otherwise quite long.
Sorry for the inconvenience; I swear I'll avoid going on a cutlist binge late at night and half-asleep in the future.
