Character Database Guidelines said:

Section II: Character Spoilers

Names: No spoilers in main name or nicknames/second names.
I'm not very well versed in Naruto but as per the new guidelines I've removed his second name entirely as I do believe his true identity is a spoiler.

@fuwa-fuwa
Changed.


So why Yondame Hakage's name has been changed into Minato Namikaze? It should stay into Yondame Hokage, this is also a big spoiler.

I beg to differ. The name 'Minato Namikaze' implies no relationship with the story nor the characters. If it was 'Minato Uzumaki,' then I would've agreed with you that it is a big spoiler, but alas that's not the case. To put simply, what do you get from knowing his name?

Madara Uchiha, on the other hand, is a big spoiler.

It's not a spoiler of the story, it's a spoiler in itself.
If Kishimoto wanted to reveals later on the name of Yondame Hokage, it's not for nothing. Doesn't bring anything to the story but just bring some mystery to the character.
I think MAL should repect the author's idea.

It's not the spoiler at all, because it was shown in both Anime and Manga.

So?
It's a spoiler of the anime and the manga, I don't get what you're saying there.

Well, let me formulate my sentence in another way.

It has been shown in both Anime and Manga, so I don't consider it spoiler.

So it still a spoiler of the manga and the anime. Doesn't change anything.
It wasn't said since the beginning, right? And not everybody hasn't come yet to this point of the story.

The current one is a little bit too brigther.

---------------

I think too that the name of the Yondaime is not a spoiler.

Main thing that differs Minato from Tobi is that Yondaime was confirmed to be both Minato Namikaze and

Which is not the fact with Tobi.

Also, the name of Yondaime itself, has nothing to spoil. Wow, we learned how he was named.. So what?
It would be other thing if he was named Minato Uzumaki, though.

Have you even read my post?
Kishi has intentionnaly hide the name of Yondame since the beginning to reveals it later on, was it just for the lulz?
Now it doesn't bring anything to the story, it just reveals something important about a character that the author was hidding intentionnaly.
It's not a spoiler about the story. No, it's just a damn shitty spoiler about a character.

Some people just want to learn the name of Yondame by reading a manga, not by visiting a website that doesn't respect the will of the author. What does it cost to turn it back to Yondame?

Like I said HooHiraiBunny, what do you get from knowing his name?

So what if Kishi has hidden it for the majority of the manga published so far? It doesn't matter. A name is just a name, and that particular name doesn't reveal anything but a name. It's nothing like Tobi in which his true identity is a big spoiler. You don't get anything from Minato Namikaze.

Many series have also introduced characters early on and not name them. In most cases, the introduction of their name does not do anything but introduce them officially by the author/creator. That is the case with Minato Namikaze.

Anyway, done Otaku-sama.

And like I said it's knowing an important information about a character that the author was trying to hide from the beginning. Which means that it's a spoiler about a character, not about the story.
Some characters death doesn't change anything to the story but wouldn't you consider it as a spoil? Some characters background story doesn't change to the story but wouldn't you consider it as a spoil as well?

It's like saying that Oberstein likes dogs, it's a spoiler as well, but it's just a minor so nobody would care.
A name has way more significian than this, it's a part of the whole identity of a character, which means a lot.

And again what would it cost to MAL to just turn it back to Yondame Hokage?

You speak like you know from the begining that Kishimoto wants to hide his name. Maybe he haven't decide the name when he start the story. It's possible.

I don't think that change by "Yondaime Hokage" cost something but they have no good reason to not keep "Minato Kamikaze" (yes, a "spoil" about a name without some other major spoil isn't a good reason).

That was quite obvious that he wanted to hide his name from the beginning, everytime he was mentionned, the name Yondame was used instead of his real name.
Also why was he the only character with who Kishi wasn't decided for the name? It's just a name and a name is easy to find, Kishi was able to find names for a large cast of characters so why only left one? He's one of the central character of the story and yet we don't much about him. His name is a part of the mystery.

And yes there's a good reason to not keep Minato Namikaze because it's a major spoiler about a character.

Then tell me how it's a major spoiler? And please don't refer to your current argument that Kishi's hidden his name for so long. I don't think many of us would consider that a spoiler - or a major one at least.

@Kwelly: Done. I didn't add the last picture though since many of the existing ones were of better quality.

And again, it's a name and a name has some signifiance.

How? Tell me with specific reference to plot and/or character. I know it's a name, and I know it understand it gives a degree of identity to a character, but I want to know how it spoils anything.

Give me something like that.

... I already said it, the name is a spoiler in itself, Tobi's is also a spoiler in itself but a spoiler that brings more informations (and spoilers) about the characters. You don't give much importance to a name or what?
Yes a name has some importance, even if it doesn't reveals much about the said character.

Edit:
And so, it's like Kakashi's face, we haven't seen it yet and maybe we will never see it.
But let's imagine that the next chapter reveals it, you wouldn't accept an image that shows it as a main picture, right? Because it's a spoiler, even if it would probably not reveal anything about the character.

Same for the Arrankar's ressureccion in Bleach. Why have you refused all the images showing their ressureccion as main pictures? Even though that doesn't really show their powers or whatever? Because they're spoiler in themselves.

I removed it because it does not follow the guidelines:

Oh, whoops. Sorry about that.

I can't find any official art of Virgilia that would suffice as a decent picture for her page besides the awful, blurry screencaps. Plus, I hadn't read those rules for that before. (I first found this topic with the search feature.)

Oh well, on to another character when I see one that needs a change. :/

The one that you propose is a fusion with Agito, so it's not appropriate.
I think the current one is good, I don't know why you think it don't fits her.
Anyway, unfortunately the previous one dosen't exist in great quality. I have try to optimise it for compensation but I don't know if it's good for you. In plus the upload on the net decrease the quality.

Because you know, because usually pics from the anime are better than from the manga (thats what a mod said to me before^^), but even so the other manga pic that is in her gallery is good, the one in the left top corner, that looks similar to her current default pic. :3
