Forum:One Shots and Characters: Non Relation to One Piece

http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Category:One-Shots

I think the ones that have no relation to One Piece should be deleted. Just because Oda made them doesn't mean they should be on the wikia since they are not related to One Piece itself. Obviously the links I gave have everything on it including Monsters and Monsters characters which are actually canon to One Piece so they should stay. If people do want them then they can be merged into one article SeaTerror 18:15, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

Agree.. Ok the shots and the whole characters are made by Oda but.. This wiki is for One Piece only.. We cant bring here all of his work... I think we should put them as titles in Oda's article..

Well I think we can merge them with the article about Oda since they are not related to One Piece directly, but to the author of One Piece.

Would be better off in their own article with tabs instead of making Oda's article super long. Unless you only include a small description of them and the characters. SeaTerror 18:23, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

Make da tabs--Tuckyd 18:25, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah.. I had in mind only add the shots' titles in Oda's article...

Remember what we said in Oda's article? We're not only dedicated to One Piece but also his other works. We already have them in their own category singling them out from One Piece as a result of the last time something like this was brought up as to whether or not they were canon. 20:46, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

Besides, we've had reason to include them ever since Monsters was canonized. Monsters was written into the One Piece canon, and we mention it was one of Oda's one shots. We might as well be thorough and include all of them. 21:00, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

I think we should as tabs to Oda's article as "Other stories and work" After all I mean its not exactly One Piece but it still contains bits of information relating to One Piece mostly in the Trivia sections. WillofOP 21:24, November 29, 2011 (UTC)WillofOP

Tabs for whole characters and pages is a bad idea. The whole idea of tabs is to use them to divide up individual pages, not put whole pages onto them. I say we keep things as they are. 22:54, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

They were around way before that. Plus just because one is canon doesn't mean the rest are. That's like how you and others decided to use only one u in spelling names instead of double uu or macrons because Oda had spelled ONE name that way.

They can easily be merged into one article by separating the one shots with the characters in separate tabs. I still say they are pointless and useless to keep though. SeaTerror 17:07, November 30, 2011 (UTC)

The welcome message of this wiki:

"Hello and welcome to the One Piece Encyclopedia, the encyclopedia for the anime and manga One Piece that anyone can edit. Please feel free to contribute to our site and help us complete our goal to build the most informative site for everything related to Eiichiro Oda and his most notable work, One Piece, online. From all the editors here at the One Piece Encyclopedia, thank you for your contributions."

I think dedicating only to One Piece will be a loss to this wiki, we are not talking about another Oda's manga (for which another wiki can be created) but previous works that in some ways have effected One Piece itself.

I agree with Levi. I am not about to bring one of the founding philosophies of this wiki up for debate. We keep the ones we have, and we won't add any more unless they are somehow related to One Piece. 02:02, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure when that was written it only meant about his life such as on his own article. Then people added all the non related one shots for no reason. If they stay then they should all get merged into one article. The other thing I might as well bring up is how the non-canon tags are used incorrectly since those templates are supposed to only be for One Piece use only. Excluding the one shot one of course. SeaTerror 04:39, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

Just a note to everyone, take in mind some of the characters in these one shots appeared in the OP storyline as "Easter Egg" characters. Those characters will likely warrent a page, also note "Monsters" is part of OP storyline. In terms of things though, because of Monsters we need to mention the one shots collection Monsters was featured in "Wanted". Characters with cameos in OP need to be counted for as well. Apart from that, we don't really need to cover any of Oda's work that is non-OP related. One-Winged Hawk 17:09, December 3, 2011 (UTC)

They only appeared in the anime not the manga. If not deleted then if anything they should be merged into one article. The other issue about the categories still applies though. SeaTerror 18:01, December 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * If that was a reply to me and the characters... Some of those characters are listed in Data red or blue (can't remember), they appeared in the manga. Okay, most were one panel mentions, but they appeared in the manga. ^_- One-Winged Hawk 13:13, December 4, 2011 (UTC)

Then prove it. I haven't seen them. SeaTerror 20:30, December 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * I wan't expecting to have to prove that you know... Since... You can just... You know... Look it up on the wikia... Or SBS... Or data book... Its all around here *somewhere*, a few have now been listed since I said that, but I think that a few more like Domo-kun and Nnke-kun who have made appearances in OP. You don't have to cover them extensively though, we're not a "all Oda's work" wikia. Thats all. O.o' One-Winged Hawk 19:09, December 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh heres another example, the great Pandaman himself! :-D One-Winged Hawk 19:12, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

Example Mikio Itoo (though that wasn't a one-shot) D.R.,..... Anyways I think we should leave them in, especially since some characters from the oneshots are very similar to the one's we have know and so it could be used as trivia.

Bumping this. This is still an important issue. SeaTerror 20:20, December 19, 2011 (UTC)

The ones you mentioned were joke characters. Not one shot characters. SeaTerror 04:23, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

Those aren't joke characters...read one-shot Monsters


 * This is true, their appearance in OP is meant to be a cameo the only exception is "Monsters" who is part of the OP storyline and Pandaman who was a charcter that had won a competition unrelated to any of Oda's work. One-Winged Hawk 14:02, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

I just want to point out that we are talking about minor works (one-shots indeed) which were used by Oda as background test before (and for) making One Piece. If they were series on their own than I could agree, but I don't see any problems in them being on this wiki. They add interesting informations related to Oda and One Piece itself in some way. They are also already completed articles.

I don't see what Monsters has to do with it since everybody in Monsters is canon. The point being is they should all be merged or deleted. The ones that don't have ANYTHING to do with One Piece are pointless articles. Also there's also the incorrect tags about them being non-canon. SeaTerror 18:29, December 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * The one shots are not huring the wikia, we will not cover every one shots Oda makes in his life and their presence is because of them appearing alongside of Monsters and One Piece in Wanted!. There are cameos appearing every so often still in the storyline itself.  Been a while since the last one, but even still we don't know when they will suddenly return.  For example, Pandaman who I raised earlier is treated in the same boat as the cameo characters anyway and is never challenged because of various reasons.  Yet still we had to sxplain his originas, the info is on his page, we did nto say what series he is from though because THAT series is unrelated to OP completely.  ITs the same for the crossovers.


 * We didn't have information on them for a while and couldn't expand on them. there was interest in them and no one else covered them. If Oda makes another one shot collection like WANTED! with no OP relatance whats so ever and someone makes a page on it, I'd side with you on their removal or merger.  One-Winged Hawk 01:11, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

None of the One Shots other than Monsters has any real connection with One Piece. Also Pandaman is pretty much a One Piece character now regardless of his origins. Pandaman is more a joke character though. There's no point in deleting joke characters since that is something Oda likes to do. Just look at Minatomo and Sam. SeaTerror 10:18, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
