Yes,  it's always me missing the point when I don't agree with you on something. God, you are the one who is missing th point. Mario and Sonic are no mascots either. They are main characters of their respective games. They have their own wikipedia pages, because they starr in numerous entries of games, movies, books and so on and have a lot of developments to cover during those twenty something years they exist.

How does that even matter, that comparision is nonsensical. Vocaloid is not a game. Its characters don't go through character development and don't have adventures inside the Vocaloid Editor that you can write a seperate article about.

But if you actually look thorugh wikipedia you will notice that the main article always tries to cover the most basic and important stuff like plot/story, characters, development and gameplay even if only as a short overview.

You know, like it should be here too.

The Vocaloid characters and their respective Vocaloid libraries are one. How many times do I have to repeat that? They are developed as one, marketed as one, treated as one, sold as one. The history of the software is the same as the character. Go to any game page on wikipedia and show me a page that would split the information into seperate articles about "concept" and into "development" parts.

Or better yet, let's stop with the nonsensical game examples and pick one that more accurately represents the situation here, go to any wikipedia site of an artist and show me a page that would split the biographical information of the artist from the information about their career? Would that make sense? No.

If articles are too big, they should be splitted, sure, but it also matters what you split and how. Now it just look as if characters and their libraries where two different unconnected parts, which they are not.

>the focus of the wikia is the software "Vocaloid"

Oh yeah? The wikia is called "Vocalid wikia". While Vocaloid itself is singing synthesizer technology, true, that word by now means much, much more that just that.

So please, don't force your views on what is "Vocaloid" on others. I don't care if you call them 'mascots' or whatever, it's bad enough the word 'mascot' appears bright as day on the goddamn main page, because I'm yet to see a company who would refer to their characters as such.

But show me one Vocaloid oriented site, or any site, that would split the information about characters from their voicebanks.

I don't care if you think the plot is irrelevant in games, and that just gameplay is enough. The authors obviously wanted it to be there and the game is sold together with it.

I don't care if you think that the singer's image and what they do is irrelevant and the only thing that matter is the music they create.

It's not really your right to decide what's important and on which should people focus.

Basically my point is, the reason for the split was Miku page and the amount of information about voicebank it had. So it's the only thing that should have been splitted from the page.

I know you don't see my point at all and won't agree with me and I'm not saying you should and I'm aware my ranting probably won't change anything.

But this is the place that is supposed to serve the community first and foremost.

I just wish more had the say in how things are managed here and that a huge changes like the one you did weren't decided by just one person.

Even if you created this thread, what point was there. People were saying they don't like the change, and that it's not necessary for every Vocaloid, but in the end, that didn't change anything...
