Constantly people bring this up and i don't think they understand either the gravity of what they are doing or what they are asking on a macro scale. I think herein lies the problem with Narutopedia: our editors believe that they are more cognizant than all else.

What is the function of a wiki? — to chronicle information. We write down what we see and or is said.

What is not the function of a wiki? — to produce information based on speculation/logical conclusions as fact.

Yes, autonomy has to be used at some point but for the most part, wears supposed to be machines - it happens we write it down and click "publish". Logical conclusions can be drawn for example: Hagoromo summons dead Kage, we see guy from Summit there, the only unknown Mizukage is the Third, ergo he's the Third Mizukage. Not Gaara has to have Magnet Release because his father, grandfather and tailed beast does else following that train of thought, we should list Kankurō and Temari as users as well or Ashura was a jinchūriki because his avatar resembled Kurama. A+B=C is a logical conclusion but people here go Z-A=every other letter in the alphabet.

I get that there's an intellectual need to fill information in so that we can think that hey, we knew this long before any of you did, but it goes against the credibility of the wikia and that's what everyone seems to be forgetting with these new changes. If we have to wait for a databook so be it. Tell people to stop re-creating threads asking the same thing over and over again. Or better yet, create a "we told you so" page and add all that information there.

We record information based on what is presented to us, regardless of how stupid or flawed it seems. We are not Kishimoto — allow the man to write his story.
