You know, I've wanted to leave memes far behind in my past, but I honestly thing this is the only time ever this particular one is really appropriate...

"YOU THINK THIS IS A MOTHER-FUCKING GAME?"

This is a legitimate question. What do you assume we're about? Being an encyclopedia isn't about doing whatever you want. It's about giving information to other readers. And we're not just plot-only, either. We cover the merchandise, the other stories the author has made, and even how it affects the real world.

Yeah, we have pages based on the fans and their interpretations on the series. It's called Mythbusters. Its purpose? To tell the truth to any confused fan. Because who else? We're the only ones who the fans come to for information that they don't know about.

But sometimes there are pages which just don't serve any purpose. For example, the likely reason you created this blog: Literary Techniques. It's not a page that really gives any unique or organized information about the franchise. It's just there to to tell you that there are literary techniques in the story, while they're also in almost every single story you've ever read! Why do we need a page for that? We don't. Anybody with common sense can tell this series will probably have stuff like that. Do you know what a user is going to do to find out what plot twists and such are in the series? They'll read/watch the series. Or they'll go to TVtropes. Either will do more justice than having a page like that. Star Wars Wiki isn't going to have a page explaining how Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father. Because it doesn't need to. It's pointless.

We don't need pointless pages in our wiki. What we need are informative pages. Pages that answer the question "What is this series about?" and "What does this character do?" and other such works.

You wanna know who runs the Wikia? The readers. The readers who know what is or isn't needed. Because, guess what, there are things in life we don't need. Our goal is not to reach 5,000 articles. Our goal is to give readers the most informative One Piece website that they can find. To do this, there are going to be rules. Because, to quote Cosmo Kramer, "Without rules, there's chaos."
