Hey I'm new to the whole wiki making process so i thought id try and make a page for something no one has done yet. It allowed me to place the page title for what i wanted to create but after I clicked next it went to edit page but i wont let me type anything, paste anything or even upload any images to be used in the article.

Is there a moderator or administrator that i need to talk to before i make a page or something?

With Part 2 of the Justice League crossover now out, would it make sense to update the pics for the members of the League as far as their Earth appearances since there's more shots to work with than that flashback from Part 1?

Example:

Current pic:

Possible replacement (just a screenshot from the trailer, a better pic can be used if made available):

Figured I'd check here first, because I know some wikis are very particular when it comes to edits regarding character pics.

Whats your spoiler policy here?

There's this user on the volume 10 page who's being extremely rude to me and other users in the thread, and now they're trying to use their disorder as an excuse for treating us the way they did. This especially irritated me since I deal with the same issue but I've never used it as an excuse to call people stupid and complain. I've reported their comments twice now and no action has been taken to lock the thread, ban the user or whatever should happen in this situation. Could one of the mods please take action or talk to the user about their behavior? That would be much appreciated.

Under Trivia it says that the last name is derived from Branwen the Blessed from Norse Mythology. This is incorrect, the name is from Welsh Mythology (Specifically the second branch of the Mabinogi), belonging to Branwen who is the sister of Bran The Blessed. I don't really know where else to say this and I have no clue how to edit articles myself

Does the wiki discord have some type of ban appeal system in place? Genuinely curious.

I left the server quite a while back due to not using Discord often, and from what I heard, some people got themselves axed off without any type of explanation from the administration & moderation team (well besides from the obvious trolls and such) without any chance of a appeal.

Anyhow, if for those people that got themselves banned a really long time ago has changed, would the mods on there do a type of appeal system for potential members wishing to return have another go on there (and hopefully not fuck up)?

The favicon (the little icon in the tab bar) is really outdated. It's a cropped screencap from V1C1, with the outdated Poser model of Ruby and everything. Wouldn't Ruby's emblem make more sense as the site's favicon, or the shattered moon, or even just what the Japanese wiki has with the four colors and the R of the logo? I just think that the current favicon doesn't look very good nowadays.

Current favicon:

Potential new favicons:

JP favicon:

Been thinking of adding the Crunchyroll icon with links to episode infoboxes, anybody here know how to make one similar to the RT and YT icons?

Recently, Twitter's new CEO Elon Musk has said Twitter will soon delete all accounts that haven't been logged into for an extended period of time. This will probably erase all of Monty Oum's tweets and thus break all of this wiki's links.

A large amount of RWBY's early history would become lost immediately.

While we can probably secure valid links via the WayBack Machine, I think a better course of action would be to archive Monty's tweets as screenshots.

Either way, this wiki will have to work to preserve the show's history.

Hello, this is for the Wiki’s Mods, Admins, and Bureacrats. Sorry if this seems too pedantic or too nitpicky, or too negative.

As you know, some people have a negative opinion about the wiki. Claiming it to be an unreliable source. Saying the points on the trivia sections on a few pages are nothing more than baseless headcanons. As an active member on the wiki, I was thinking on how we end these accusations and show people we are a site of factual evidence about RWBY. That’s omitting the trivia facts that have no reference links attached to them and not burying our heads in the sand.

Here’s a handful:

• “The Faunus in The Hound is likely a fox or dog Faunus, which alludes to the 1967 story: ''The Fox and the Hound'' by Daniel P. Mannix. It shares this allusion with Fox Alistair and his uncle, Copper.”

This has never been confirmed by any of the members of CRWBY and is just speculation. Until it is actually confirmed by CRWBY themselves in the Volume 8 Commentary, I feel it should be deleted.

• “It is possible that Blake's Shadow Semblance was inspired by C.T.'s hologram armor enhancement from ''Red vs. Blue'' which functioned and was used very similarly to Blake's Semblance.”

This has no evidence to prove Blake’s Semblance was ever inspired by C.T.’s hologram armor enhancement. The creators have never confirmed it ever was.

• “On the train Dr. Oobleck orders Blake to "detach the caboose" as it will "kill us all". This is a reference to the Red vs. Blue character Caboose, who is also voiced by Joel Heyman, and has a habit of accidentally harming his teammates.”

The thing is just because Bartholomew Oobleck and Caboose share the same voice actor, doesn’t make it a reference to RT’s other animated series.

• “It is implied that the moments when Ironwood's eyes dimmed were characteristics of Mettle. However, this has not been confirmed.”

There is no reference to even back this up. In all honesty, the entire Mettle page is surrounded by speculation due to its complete vagueness.

Like I said before, I'm sorry if this post seems too nitpicky or too pedantic, or too negative, but I want people to view the series' wiki as a place of factual evidence about the show, and stop the accusations of it harboring nothing but headcanons and speculations.

So I've been thinking about how much necroposting happens in this wiki and how people keep forgetting about the 3 month rule and post on and old thread anyway. I noticed some other wikis have there threads automatically lock after 3 months have passed and was wondering if we should do the same to prevent Necroposting altogether?

Why is the Wiki Twitter remaining in the main page? It's out of date. Keeping it is just pointing out "look, we have an abandoned Twitter account!".

I think it should be removed.

I originally brought this up in a comment on Cinder's page, but I'm not sure that was the right place to do it. So I figured I'd try here.

This is a minor nitpick, but something that's bothered me lately is the apparent inconsistency in the aspect ratios of the profile photos in the characters' infobox. There's also "black/gray bars" (for lack of a better term) on the tops and/or bottoms of some of those pictures.

I've got some re-cropped images from Cinder's template for use if they're wanted. I tried just replacing the images myself but I couldn't for some reason. These have all been cropped to be a 1:2 aspect ratio with the black bars removed:

This problem affects other characters too, I just first noticed it on Cinder's page. I can give examples of others if necessary. It's not really a big deal, just wanted to bring it up to maybe give the wiki a more "clean" look imo.

P.S. Cinder's bangs are clipping through her mask in her current Atlas pic.

I made this edit of Neo wearing a Mistralian Pilot disguise. This was in the show in V6C13, but it was only present during her transformation to her Atlas arc outfit for like five seconds. I stitched it together using multiple screenshots, and it's worth noting that in the show, she is not wearing her hat for this outfit. However, in order to make a clean edit, I added her hat because her head is obstructed by the frame and by her semblance effect. Is this worth adding to Neo's page under her disguises? Or since it's heavily edited, is it too far beyond official to be included?

Basically, I’ve noticed that some of the characters have different aura colors then what is listed on their fandom-wiki pages. I’ll list two examples below with references.

1: Jaune Arc. The page list is it as ‘Yellow’ but it’s not yellow in Volume 8. It’s more of a Gold tone now.

2: Lie Ren. The page list it as ‘Pink’ when it looks like a shade of Light Magenta in Volume 8.

Anyone think it does as well? I’m thinking that RT changed the colors to give the characters a more ‘unique’ look to them.

About a month ago I added RWBY's score in the "Featured Music" section for each episode through Volumes 5-7, as they had previously been done in Volumes 1-4.

With the shift to more dynamic titles for the score in those recent Volumes, it would be hard to distinguish whether a song in one of those pages is a lyrical song or a score for someone who doesn't know the soundtrack. I tried to somewhat negate this by putting the lyrical songs at the bottom of the list, but there's nothing to indicate how many of them are in the list or if there are even any there.

Since the lyrical songs of RWBY are much more popular than the score, there are people who could hear the song in the episode and check the episode page on the wiki to see what the song is called, only to not be able to tell which one it is with all of the score mixed with it.

As such, I am proposing the idea of adding an "Episode Score" section to the episode infobox template before "Featured Music", to distinguish the score from the lyrical songs.
