Hello everybody,

Going forth I would like to use Chinese names for the story. I would like to hear opinions on this, because I feel that it is inevitable going forward (in the scope of five, ten years) that discussion surrounding the series in English communities like ours will be using Chinese names. Resource compilations like ours have the power to shape discussions, and so the name choices we use are significant.

The transition will be rough, and I believe that instantly transitioning the whole series over is impractical, but doing it step by step, like only updating chapters and names as they release, is doable. I'm making this post to source opinions on the matter, and I will not rush to enforce the matter, but neither will I wait around indefinitely for a response.

To be explicit, I think the Kingdom fandom should use the Chinese names going forward.

If you have anything to say for or against the matter, do comment down below or let me know on my wall. If there is no response, I will use my authority as the only active administrator to direct the fandom in the direction I think is best, which includes reverting edits that intentionally prefer the Japanese names over the Chinese ones, and restricting the editing capabilities of those that do. Please let me know your thoughts.

Hi everybody, I'm adjusting the themes of the page to make them a bit less strong on the eyes which should make reading pages easier. Please do give me your feedback as needed.

The only change I've done so far is make the "yellow" less bright and make the "black" less dark for the dark theme. Light mode has no changes, as I don't use that regularly, but I can adjust it if needed.

Now that Kingdom has an official release, I believe that we should rename characters as they begin receiving official English names, so for example, we would rename the "Ri Shin" page to "Li Xin".

I am aware that essentially sitewide, we have Ri Shin, and that the change is very hard to effect, but I believe it is a step in the right direction. I think the best way forward is to rename the page, create a redirect for Ri Shin to Li Xin, and use Li Xin going forward, changing as we notice changes need to be made rather than immediately setting forth to change every instance.

Thoughts?

With the advent of the new set of volumes and chapters, I took a look at the currently existing volumes in Japanese, and noticed that they all had titles! We've not been documenting the volume titles in Japanese!

At any rate, I'm going to clean up the page a little with the introduction of the English release. I also don't like the current naming scheme for volumes, I think the pages should be titled "Volume 1" instead of "Vol.1", and if people are in favor of this change, I will chip away at it slowly over time.

Are there any other changes you want? Do let me know, the list of Volumes and Chapters is one of the most visited pages, and we'll only get more people that use the resources we've worked hard to create over the years!

Is Bajin officially part of heki army as the deputy? he has been popping up couple of times.

I'm unsure how many of you speak Japanese or are familiar with the anime instead of the manga, me personally, I am a manga person.

While I was going through the list of staff credited for working on S3, I noticed that there was a 櫻井正明 and a 桜井正明, both read "Sakurai Maasaki", but with a different "sakura" character, 櫻 vs 桜. I am wondering if any of you happen to know if these are two different people? Or if they are the same person, but someone made a mistake while crediting them by name.

Now that we have the deployment of the various armies, I think we can start suggesting names for this arc.

Western Zhao Invasion would have been very appropriate given the gigantic front line of this battle, but unfortunately it's already taken :D

I personally don't have any ideas, so I'll leave it to you to suggest yours.

Currently, we have a big group of infobox templates, and I would like to standardize them. There are two ways that I think we can improve them, and I would like your feedback on them

1. I think we have too many fields in the infobox template. The main template has fields like Marital Status, Age, Gender, Height, Weight, Eyes, basically things that are not known or are easily discerned from an image, multiple if necessary. I would like to make the infobox more dense and informative, and discard the structure for the "unnecessary" fields. Please do feel free to discuss what you think is a necessary or unnecessary field.

2. I think we have too many infobox templates. I haven't finished cataloguing them all, but I think ideally, we have maybe 6 or 7 infoboxes, something like

• Infobox Character (things like Shin, Ri Boku, Ei Sei)

• Infobox Location (things like Dakan Plains, Royal Court; sub-template of Infobox Character)

• Infobox State (things like Qi, Jo, Jin; sub-template of Infobox Location)

• Infobox City (things like Jouto Village, Retsubi, Kanyou; sub-template of Infobox Location)

• Infobox Group (things like Royal Harem, Three Great Heavens, Clan Shiyuu, Quanrong; sub-template of Infobox Character)

• Infobox Military Group (things like Black Hi Hyou, Hi Shin Unit, Qin Military; sub-template of Infobox Group

Thoughts? Please comment even if you prefer the status quo, since I would like to act based off the decisions of the majority.

Hi! If anyone could, it wouldn't hurt to add the Qi kingdom to the top of the Wiki in the Warring States category.

Hi, I think the army pages should be looked at and standardized.

I believe armies in Kingdom have become more complex than they were at the start of the series. Now, commanders work together under a bigger umbrella army, and so the lines between each army become grey during battles where generals of similar ranks cooperate and sometimes combine forces.

There will be need to discuss the matter more broadly, and I intend to create a set of guidelines for creating pages of a certain type (e.g. army, state, battle), but for now please do share your thoughts on where the army pages fall short and how they can be improved.

Hi everybody, I want to introduce a Bot account on the wiki in order to make use of some tools that are best used by bots, things like categorizing a large amount of pages or editing a large amount of pages with the same small edit using various tools. To do so, a Bot account should be used, so that the servers will not be unnecessarily overloaded. Does anyone have suggestions for the name of such a bot?

I think naming a bot like "Shou Bot Kun" could be cute, but if anyone else has any other punny names, that would be fine. Otherwise, a default could be something like "Kingdom-Bot".

Hi everybody, and hello to all who backread this in the future! I'm making this space so that all discussions users want to make about editing posts can be here, and editors can more freely communicate with each other rather than having to communicate on each others' talk pages.

Hope to make use of this well, and work together with you guys long into the future!

Hi everyone, I feel like the wiki has been abandoned and I think some of the more active editors should try and adopt the wiki. I would like to adopt the wiki so that I can improve the organization and referencing, but I am happy to have someone else that feels they are better suited to adopt, whether because they have been around longer or not.

Personally, I would like to make a better and more concentrated effort on having our content referenced, because that makes it easier to identify what is canonical vs what is speculative, and if people want to know the context in which a statement is made, it is easier for them to do so. To that extent, I have referenced almost all of the edits I have made, and have begun work on creating a set of templates to reflect the characters' appearances in manga, and hopefully someone will pick it up for anime since I do not watch the anime. There are tools which I would like to add to the wiki but can only be done by an administrator, so if you think that you are better suited than me to adopt the wiki, please go ahead, my only request is that we coordinate to improve on this front.

Any thoughts?

The correct reading of his name is Gan Shu, not Kan Shu.

Here's a panel from the recent chapter where he appears, so you can check it for yourselves. I don't have access to raws where his name is mentioned for the first time, but I'm assuming that was just turnip farmer's translation mistake.

Why almost every General and Great General considered as a Glaive Master except Mou Gou? Even if he couldn’t do much to Renpa he still could keep fighting with him and didn’t die lol. I think we should add him a mastery

In Bayou Arc Mouki said Ouki’s vassals are General lvl even though they’re not Generals. I think this points they were General’s but since Ouki retired they let down their ranks

Another point for this is in the Guidebook it roughly says Ryuu Koku became a General like he previously was. So that’s why we can correct Doukin and Rinbou’s information as “Former General’s”. What you guys think?

I like the addition of the Infoboxes but I think there is a consensus missing on what should be part of the previous, concurrent and next part of the Infobox as currently there are several different styles used.

My idea was to only link to other battles and have them ordered by campaigns as a new page and category as these can be larger than an Arc like the "Conquest of Han Campaign" already started in the Three Pillars Arc.

Below the campaigns are the individual battles mentioned. These guidelines could be used for all three (previous, concurrent and next) parts of the Infobox.

For battles in the WZI Arc it would look like this:

Previous:

Koku You Campaign

• Battle of Kokuyou Hills

Concurrent:

Western Zhao Invasion (Campaign):

• Siege of Retsubi

• Battle at Shukai Plains

• Battle of Ryouyou

• Siege of Gyou

Next:

Juuko Campaign (?)

• Battle at Gecchi Plains‎

Do you have other ideas or improvement suggestions?

Will their pages get updated? I remember Toji died due to protect YTW but Fuji? When we saw he died?
