 * Don't know what your asking, but what you did with the template is wrong usage. It's not supposed to replace the contents of a page many people have been working on for months. Deleting all the contents of sections and replacing them with a template is insulting, not to mention downright rude and disrespectful. --Speysider Talk Page 23:21, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

Firstly, I don't think this should be tagged for deletion since we should have had this discussion a good while back now. The issue, for those who might be reading this, is that in some articles where "filler information arcs" are present, the content is replaced with where the general information on the page is. Now, if I'm not mistaken, this started with the whole Adventures at Sea Arc which was initially done because I believed that the arc wouldn't have carried on that long. Now pros and cons for using this:
 * It makes the articles shorter and the content more manageable for readers who might click on Naruto and Sasuke's articles and it takes a longer time to load.
 * Converse to this however is the fact that as an encyclopaedia we're supposed to document what each character does and I can see how it'd be disappointing it could be to come here and get link to a page with general information on the arc and not the person in question and then have to pick out info from the general arc, if any at all is present there.
 * I can vouch for the Adventures at Sea Arc because I was involved in writing the summaries and so on, but I don't think all the other arc articles carry the same amount of information. Now while I don't think any great injustice is done when the content is removed since nobody's work is meant to be immortalised here so how hard someone worked on it, however disheartening it may be to see is of little consequence here, we might have to consider that we're taking up something out of convenience.
 * With that, the way I see it, we may have to assess what this can and cannot be done to maybe classify fillers as "major" and "minor" fillers and decide which content stays and which can be subsumed into the main articles, the latter of which will also need some looking at in order to make sure that they have decent information there.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 01:20, June 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * so what about the other anime fillers such as Three-Tails Arc and Tsuchigumo Clan Kinjutsu Arc??? do they don't need the main template??? Kunoichi101 (talk) 01:49, June 22, 2012 (UTC)Kunoichi101

Characters
The main character, Naruto, has the main template on the anime filler in Part II. Some of them like supporting characters have main template, however one of them doesn't due to the policy. Kunoichi101 (talk) 01:58, June 22, 2012 (UTC)Kunoichi101
