Narutopedia:Sysop Requests

Protection-related requests

 * Tailed Beasts (and potentially other pages over the course of a few days): counter-productive edit warring. The issue at hand should be properly discussed on a talkpage (such as what I've done on Talk:Plot of Naruto), as it appears that a line of text said by Kurama has been placed out of context and with editors failing to refer to existing sources already stating he cannot be killed via conventional means. --Sajuuk 20:33, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I second this as well. May be necessary due to chaos going around this lately. -Ventillate (talk) 20:34, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Done for 1 week. ~ Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (Local Talk &#8285; Animanga Talk) 03:29, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Infoboxes for the Kara Inners: Too many revisions and edits wars of the infobox pics from Spider-Man on YouTube and ShinjiHirako66 and neither of them is wanting to take it to the talk pages. They need protection until this can all be settled. OmegaRasengan (talk) 20:34, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
 * At this point, I second this. I want to mention specifically ShinjiHirako66 as more of an edit warmonger, as they keep ramming through undos and constant revisions without proper dialogue. This has been going on for several months against editors and staff members. - Ventillate { About Me | Message | My Work } 17:01, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * At this moment, it seems the on Boro's infobox has stopped. I have protected Code's though. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:57, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I think Naruto Mobile should be protected. At this point, edits keep being rammed in without any proper source, and not to mention that all the "sources" we received on the material were either false or misleading. Personally, I think the page just creates problems and should be deleted as the game isn't even based in the US, UK, or Japan. The game is essentially written in Chinese and I could not find any related version(s) to English or Japanese. Users like ShadowKakashi39 should also be observed closely as the editing style and tactic is similar to Toroi's. -Ventillate { About Me | Message | My Work } 13:17, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Protecting that article won't stop the creation of the low quality jutsu articles. The problem with deleting it is that we'd have to go over everything that links to it, adjusting every character, tool, and jutsu debut associated. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:20, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Can Zetsu's page be unlocked it's been long time since page is locked. Kireina Yume (talk) 18:07, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 04:24, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Deletion-related requests

 * Template:Scroll Box and Template:Story Arc created by MisterLoki without getting the approval from mods. OmegaRasengan (talk) 19:57, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Anyone particular reason why no sysops is acknowledging this? OmegaRasengan (talk) 02:32, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ Sometimes things do just slip through the cracks. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:56, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Can anyone delete a redirect of Because You are With Me, when i search for Amado it suddenly show Because You are With Me. Kunoichi101 (talk) 22:40, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Not sure if it's a valid rationale, but from what I can see the redirect exists because it the performer's name redirecting to the song they play. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:11, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Wind Release: Cleaving Rush, Conch Shell Mace Wild Dance and Bilateral Attack - more useless jutsu from Toroi. OmegaRasengan (talk) 05:58, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:35, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * A Heart-stealing technique - a speculation article 21:43, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Ēida - mistranslated rōmaji redirect OmegaRasengan (talk) 04:46, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:35, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Water Release: Surface Slice - Same rōmaji as Water Release: Rising Water Slicer, works the same way. OmegaRasengan (talk) 16:28, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:42, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Boro's Cult - Don't see a need for this right now considering there isn't a team page for the Jashin cultists and that Boro's cult don't appear to consist of any other ninja besides himself. OmegaRasengan (talk) 02:32, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Ryūdōin, Haruno, Jinton, Kazahana, Karatachi, Yōton, Tatsushiro, Tenma, Haku's parents, Rock, Dance of the Clematis, Sasori's parents, Hoshigaki, Umino - A lot of unnecessary and unneeded disambiguation pages, some with less than 3 links, some with existing clan pages which make the disambiguation page redundant, some consisting of characters that are of the same family that can easily be found in the infoboxes, etc. There doesn't need to be disambiguation pages of these. OmegaRasengan (talk) 19:12, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * All of those pages exist because the terms would be good redirects, yet have more than one target to redirect to. For instance, Tenma is the first name of two unrelated characters, and is useful in the same way as Kakashi or Sasuke. Yet neither Tenma is clearly a better redirect target than the other, so a disambig page is used instead. Unless you feel that one of the pages' options is objectively better as a redirect target than its other options, deletion is counter-productive. ~SnapperTo 23:22, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * There doesn't need to be a disambig if we can do this. They're not good redirections if I'm requesting them to be deleted. There's a page for the Hoshigaki clan and then a disambiguation for the Hoshigaki, why? What valid reasonable explanation is there to have a disambiguation for this? No, you can't give a good argument justifying these pages to be around. Someone please come up with an intelligent argument, not something that is either "we need them just because" or "too much work to do". OmegaRasengan (talk) 14:18, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
 * But they are good redirects. If you look at the page history for many of them, they originally were redirects until a second applicable target was introduced in the series, at which point somebody took it upon themselves to change the redirection into a disambig page. So either take it upon yourself to make the incredibly difficult step of turning these pages into redirects, as in here, or come up with an argument that isn't "I don't see the point in them and my perspective is the only rational one." ~SnapperTo 18:45, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Requesting that the icons considered for deletion in the images/commons category are cleaned out. All the icons considered for deletion are extremely old (nearly 15 years ago when Dantman became a bureaucrat) and practically unused. All of the old and used icons have been revamped with newer ones to fit modern-day skeuomorphism well as accommodate the new FandomDesktop design. If necessary, I'll continue to update templates and icons based on usage and demand by the wiki's editors. -Ventillate { About Me | Message | My Work } 14:20, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Can pages on Category:Candidates for Deletion page be delete it. -Rin Yuu { Rin Yuu | Message | Special:Contributions/Rin Yuu } 14:20, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
 * In case any sysops don't look at the category too closely, it's worth pointing out that there are a few unused images that have been tagged for deletion for years in some cases. ~SnapperTo 00:29, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Kāma: Runaway page is literally unnecessary and against image policy Kireina Yume (talk) 18:07, 21 Junuary 2022 (UTC)
 * Infobox:Ikada Funato and Ikada Funato - best to wait until it is confirmed onscreen. OmegaRasengan (talk) 11:07, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

Blocking-related requests

 * - Troll, alt account of banned user User:Jfajkjsfksjfskfj. Ninja Of War (talk) 13:15, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Seems to be from discussions. I am not sure if we have a discussion only block option. Do thread moderators have blocking rights?~Ultimate Supreme  06:13, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No, thread moderators at this stage do not. Ninja Of War (talk) 18:58, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
 * – Creating fan fiction pages and removing deletion tags from SuperSajuuk. OmegaRasengan (talk) 19:45, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:52, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * - Constant habit of poor edits, false information, and refusal to address reasons for their change. Ventillate (talk) 04:25, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Toroi - Useless jutsu creation spree, warned by sysops to stop and persists. OmegaRasengan (talk) 11:56, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:00, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * - I know it's too early for the blocking request, but i think we need to keep a close eye on him, he's been making changes edits on the anime arcs (see https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Boruto:_Naruto_Next_Generations?action=history) Kunoichi101 (talk) 18:11, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
 * - Once again making useless jutsu pages despite being blocked and warned numerous times in the past. And we know talking to him does nothing. OmegaRasengan (talk) 15:34, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Adding to that, he also seems to be adding too much trivia stuff that's about Naruto Mobile games. Those games seem to set zero limits to the information that makes the character unique. (Adding unnecessary chakra natures, jutsus, etc.) - Ventillate { About Me | Message | My Work } 15:37, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ Be on the lookout for account "OriginalGamer200". I requested a CheckUser a while back, and there was an IP match between what that account was using until just before Toroi's previous block expired, and Toroi's own account when he started editing again. I would not doubt the creation of yet another account either. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:52, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
 * is active again. Likely Toroi from before since that account got blocked. - Ventillate { About Me | Message | My Work } 12:25, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Bump. OriginalGamer200 is active again and making the same exact edits as Toroi's alts. - Ventillate { About Me | Message | My Work } 12:31, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:46, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * There is another user,, making dozens of video game Rasengan jutsu variation edits, something makes me think this is Toroi with another account. OmegaRasengan (talk) 14:16, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ Don't think it's a Toroi sockpuppet though. This account was just mass adding a category. Toroi was all about creating new jutsu articles allegedly based on game names. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:54, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Requesting that be looked into. He's creating a lot of edits similar to Toroi. I'm starting to suspect constant VPN switching as the behavior and edits are almost identical. - Ventillate  { About Me | Message | My Work } 14:01, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ Confirmed through CheckUser, every IP behind every edit by UlanbekMamasabirov has been used by Toroi. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:42, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * - Constantly edit warring with other users including sysops, a problem that has been going on since February. The Code infobox being the most recurring page he is constantly undoing. Either a block or a warning, whichever, because this has got to stop. OmegaRasengan (talk) 01:47, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Bump. OmegaRasengan (talk) 18:31, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Warning issued. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:46, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Requesting that be looked into. I've been noticing patterns of ShinjiHirako66 and Rex regarding edits. When one is gone, the other taps in and edits. In terms of language and edits, I'd say it falls along similar quality. I could be wrong, but I think it's best to check out. - Ventillate  { About Me | Message | My Work } 02:01, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Highly doubt they're related. RexGodwin is a much older account. Different activity times can also be due to a variety of different reasons, including different schedules and timezones. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 03:52, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * - Ramming in edits just like Toroi (though may or may not be Toroi) after warnings and ignoring them. Highly suspicious at this point as the behavior is similar. -Ventillate { About Me | Message | My Work } 12:16, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Definitely looks like another Toroi dupe. OmegaRasengan (talk) 04:52, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * It most likely is, and I've requested a CheckUser, but it seems Ursuul is on a break. It's almost a shame. Despite the articles having no sources, all the images uploaded by that account have their fair use license and rationale perfectly filled as far as I can tell. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:58, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
 * - Spambot. --Sajuuk 08:44, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Mike Kiyera - Continous edit warring on the Smoke-Flash Bomb and Shinobi Gauntlet pages, ignores (and removes) warning to stop. OmegaRasengan (talk) 22:02, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Bump. OmegaRasengan (talk) 18:48, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ Will also check on something. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:18, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Jvboru - I tried to be as polite and helpful as possible regarding his edits, but he keeps on edit warring regardless of what I mention or if anyone else does it. I'm fed up at this point and out of options and I don't want to pursue edit-warring as that achieves nothing. -Ventillate { About Me | Message | My Work } 01:14, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:18, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * H.Uchiha22 - Constant vandalism. Unable to stop anything they do. -Ventillate { About Me | Message | My Work } 17:00, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ by Ninja Of War. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:50, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Loopy Squid - I find it hard to believe that the user is providing anything constructive and the whole conversation/edit warring seems almost satirical. Starting to feel like utter trolling if I'm being honest. -Ventillate { About Me | Message | My Work } 20:34, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * JSmith99033 - Requesting an indefinite or long-term block. User constantly floods the wiki with irrelevant Fortnite articles and images. After constant warnings and being messaged, user keeps doing the same thing when their block expires. -Ventillate { About Me | Message | My Work } 15:19, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Darwin R. C. A. P. N. Watterson - Not sure if this user should be immediately blocked (up to discretion of admin), but constantly edit wars and makes bad edits even after explanations. It's quite annoying since the user keeps doing the same thing over and over again. -Ventillate { About Me | Message | My Work } 18:07, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Move requests

 * BAKU (song) to BAKU (opening). OmegaRasengan (talk) 13:02, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Any particular reason for this? I get that opening is more specific, but unless there's another song article named BAKU, it doesn't quite feel as necessary. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:39, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * After going through them again, looks as though it's only the ones that are opening and ending songs that share the same name. Disregard my request. OmegaRasengan (talk) 23:59, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Bringing this back again for a different reason. I noticed there isn't a page for BAKU, which I had assumed would automatically redirect if you searched or tried to create a page in all caps. Should this be a good enough reason for a move? OmegaRasengan (talk) 15:07, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Bump. Please respond, sysops. OmegaRasengan (talk) 13:32, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Nope. You're ignoring that the term is "流れ"/"Nagare", of which "wandering" is a correct translation, and a more applicable one when it comes to people. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 04:35, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

Miscellaneous requests

 * can any admin check the main page of naruto fandom just in case. when i opened it, it suddenly showed this [Template fetch failed for https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Template:animangafooter?action=render: HTTP 500] Kunoichi101 (talk) 14:29, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

 * There is a notable space between the title and the second quotation mark on chapter and episode listings on the arc pages. Those that share names with other pages such as Resonance (which appears as "Resonance " on the listings) for example. OmegaRasengan (talk) 03:39, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
 * This is a known limitation of how the templates and associated smw code works to list similarly titled articles, at least from the time it was implemented. No idea if this is something that is possible to fix. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 05:04, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

 * We don't use videos, and stop messing up section headers. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:41, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
 * We seriously need to consider this. The Naruto FANDOM has been cut dry of active mods and admins and I think we need more active people to serve as mods to protect the articles and pages from being vandalized and spammed upon. It's gotten pretty annoying lately and it becomes a rather large problem when there is inactivity with this FANDOM's staff for a bit. Constantly undoing revisions from vandalism shouldn't be the ideal way to go about things, but it seems like its the only effective solution if there are no staff members available to take care of these things. -Ventillate { About Me | Message | My Work } 17:03, 4 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Appoint User:Ventillate and User:Munchvtec as admins of the Narutopedia, to lighten the load of the existing admins. Ninja Of War (talk) 13:35, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree with appointing Ventillate, I don't with Munchvtec. Not when he has a tendency to get overly emotional, make comments such as "witchhunt" when discussing the fate of a character page, and not able watch his language (IIRC, swearing is no no here). Admins need to keep their cool in discussions, which Ventillate is capable of. OmegaRasengan (talk) 13:44, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree with OmegaRasengan that Munchvtec definitely should not be admin, i thing only right user for that now are Ventillate and Omega Rasengan himself. Kireina Yume (talk) 15:15, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the recommendation but I'm not interested in an admin position. OmegaRasengan (talk) 15:18, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't want any mod position anyway, so no worries there Omega and Kireina, lol. New admins are definitely needed, but as I said to you earlier, NoW, it gets essentially ignored or silently swiped under the rug. What the wikia really needs is a new crat who can make good decisions for and with the community. Who is good for that position at this point, I don't know. Munchvtec (talk) 16:06, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Can someone demoted User:TranClan he is Bureaucrat on this wiki but has been inactive for 15 years and have only 4 edits on this wiki. Kireina Yume (talk) 16:35, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Only wikia staff can remove them, or the crat themselves. It should be noted that some years ago it was agreed upon to leave these old mods their rights. Munchvtec (talk) 16:42, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Still inactivity for 15 year isn't good thing espically if user is Bureaucrat which should handle big responsibilitie. Kireina Yume (talk) 17:45, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thoughts on an "Anime-Novel Differences" page? I think we got enough material to warrant a page. OmegaRasengan (talk) 19:03, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Page creation isn't something you need sysop approval for. If you want to ask specific individuals, you can leave messages on their talk page. If you want a larger community discussion, you can propose it on a talk page of your choosing (Talk:Anime-Manga Differences? Talk:Light Novels?). Otherwise you can be bold and make it if you feel it's justified. ~SnapperTo 10:02, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge Path to Becoming a Ninja Arc with Chūnin Re-Examination Arc? This seems to confirm the box set only consists of the one arc. OmegaRasengan (talk) 11:58, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
