Don't rely on the wikis for information. They have shitloads of theories and fanon stated as facts about the characters.

Most likely both. I don't get what's wrong with the wiki to some people. I don't really look at those fanon pages or the fanon trivia. I mean they can be a little silly with some things like the Phantom thing but it's still a good source of info. Too bad they suck at translating.

I love have red links and stubs for story information on the official games and characters, but twenty bullet points about the biggest memes in "Fanon Culture".

I don't know when they decided fanon was appropriate for a reference wiki, but it's dumb and I hope Nekoscarletgate happens all over again.

The wiki estimates her to be hundreds of millions of years old. But they make tend to just make shit up so if you really want to know ask ZUN.

The great things about the Japanese wikis is that they keep the fanon and theories on completely different wikis from the canon stuff (at least for the wikis I have read).

A good example of this difference is the information the wikis have in DiPP. The English wikis claims that Alice was probably the person in the old DiPP story (making no mention that by the time she was introduced in the Windows series ZUN had already rewritten the story). The Japanese wikis with only canon information say that Alice and Mokou have spell cards sharing the name 「蓬莱人形」, that the spell card comment for Mokou's references the CD, and that the story was revised in the second release. The theory wikis say that the spell card comment suggests that Mokou is the one in the stories, but the first story can probably be disregarded because of ZUN's comments that the second version is a revision.

thwiki.info is pretty empty. It's mainly for linking to other wikis.

From NToJ, Izanagi created Japan 25 million years ago. Izanami died sometime after that, and then after that Tsukuyomi was born. Eirin is said to be older than Tsukuyomi, so that at least gives a minimum boundary of Eirin's age. The pulling of the keystone to create Heaven is a maximum boundary, but it's impossible to know whether or not it even happened, and we don't even know when it was supposed to happen.

You again. I thought we got rid of you last time you brought this up.

[Anonymous No.]

This probably sounds dumb, but I'd like it if the Wiki had no original content whatsoever, besides the obvious headings and so on. No custom descriptions, no overviews, no speculation, no summation of events, just straight-up facts and figures and sentences copied and pasted from the games/textfiles/manga (and their translations).

[Anonymous No.]

>>10589878
Well I stand by what I said. It should be a reference for official materials and canon information, with some separate articles for factual out-of-universe information (lists of doujin artists, for example).

Obviously you disagree and so do a lot of people, but fanon has already creeped in and started to take over large parts of the wiki. One day they'll have so many baka jokes and shitty fairy scribbles that their wiki will be devoured like a fat weeaboo whore gobbling up Pocky.

> Eirin is said to be older than
Is not a reliable source. Plus, if it requires a bunch of extra information (some of it also never confirmed to be true in Touhou) to explain what her age is instead of it being stated directly, then it doesn't belong on a fucking reference wiki.

[Anonymous No.]

This brings up a dilemma:

Is ZUN in a drunken state a more reliable source than ZUN in a sober state?

[Anonymous No.]

>>10590028
Whatever he says directly is reliable. Whatever is indirect is not so reliable, such as "it is said that" or stuff written inside the Touhou universe like the Gensou record which ZUN says is not to be trusted.
