Let it be noted that OP Wiki and Bleach Wiki are hardly wikis we want to emulate; especially the former. Bleach Wiki had no other choice as their articles were nearly 3x longer than our own.

I am in agreement with UltimateSupreme. If I want to edit Naruto Uzumaki, I don't want to hunt down a page for every section I want to edit. That is even more time consuming than just hitting the edit button and waiting all of sixty seconds (never is that long for me, but still) would. It creates confusion for new editors, needless clutter for our wiki, and does not attack the root of the problem, which is that too much "fluff" is added to the articles. I mean, by the Nine, Tobirama has a trivia point about how often he folds his damn arms.

Naruto does not need a new reference and a whole new paragraph added to his abilities each time he uses a Shadow Clone, and Talos knows Madara doesn't need more. We would be better off spending our time trimming down on useless or repetitive information, because, at this point, reading our site is an acceptable method of circumventing reading the manga. We have every last detail on every single page that we come across. The result of that are pages that are ten times as long as they need to be.

Furthermore, and this is an issue I have addressed to Wikia concerning the Naruto Fanon Wiki, Semantic Media Wiki, which runs our infobox templates and a ton of other features on our site, is very taxing to net speeds. This is a problem they acknowledge, but will not fix because Semantic Media Wiki has been discontinued, with only wikis who had it before said discontinuing still possessing it. When you slap those templates onto longer articles, like Naruto and Madara, the load time becomes absolutely ridiculous.
