Getting this up in arms over inaccurate lore for a silly action anime... :roll: First world problems. :lol:
I'm not sure if you've been to the main site...

"Its being placed in the appropriate location for the information (the family sections). It is concrete info and is 100% true - because it's official info and there is no canon. Turles not being Goku's brother is also concrete info and 100% true - because it's official info and there is no canon. We can't pick one or the other, that's not how this wiki works, there is no official word on what if true and what is false"

What sense does this make?
It's really unfortunate stuff here.

What I'm reading is like a dumbed-down version of (forgive me for equating it here, but it's the best example I can come up with before my third coffee) the conservative base's weaponization of morality against the left. They're using our (well, actually, like, MY) own "canon" definition back against me. It's this total charade of "objectivity", and it's totally transparent. It's the Dragon Ball information gatekeeper version of political centrist nonsense.

Just leave well enough alone. There's no point.

Anyway, apropos of absolutely nothing, did you know Bra was simultaneously born both in Age 778 and 780? Crazy what science can do these days.

What annoys me is that just because there's no canon doesn't mean there isn't a way to approach this information, or to form a Top Trumps sort of thing. Manga trumps all, and what actually appears in the products trumps anything from pomo magazine fluff pieces unless Toriyama said it after and wasn't being forgetful. And of course Japan information trumps US information. It's really not that difficult to figure out.

I believe TV Tropes calls it Lawful Stupid. :lol:

But yeah, you're right Mike. The site is quarantined. I intermittently get annoyed about it but eventually realize it needs a complete upheaval of the administration to ever become useful, and that's not happening. No point in getting up in arms about it I suppose
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

If anyone wants to start a real DB wiki I have lots of wiki experience and free time

but it'd have to be legit

Kanzenshuu has been working on a wiki for a while. Of course it'd be intensely focused on the Japanese side of the franchise, but I'll take that over the dumpster fire that is the DB Wikia.
