“My profile page might need to have some changes from time to time so there will be time that I’ll be changing my profile pages layout”

There are times where I have to leave my to go somewhere for a while I’ll edit my pages that I created I'll work on them later

SOMETHINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME: I best edit ships by watching the anime I rarely read the manga I might watch The Amagi for editing. I mostly watch the anime adaptation of the manga but there will be times that I will have to read the manga for content for editing pages. I also watch a YouTuber called Naruto Explained the channel talks about events that happened in the Manga/Anime/and Novels and also characters. However, if you’re a manga-only reader your free to add the manga adaptation to the articles, I have created or edited. I also watch a lot of YouTube videos so that I can create the articles by watching the videos, that's how I did my best edits for my articles that I’ve created. I mostly work with ‌Het ships. There will be rare times that I will work on ‌Poly, Friend, and Famliy ships. I will soon start making more Userboxes in the future. I usually work on ships from anime but sometimes I will edit or ships that are from a Superhero franchise or a ship from YouTube. I might work on a ship off a that only being seen in Netflix in the future. I also might start on working on ships from movies in the future. And I'm also gonna put more tabbers in my articles in the future.

Fandom Ideas
Since we got Fandom set from A-Z I thought about fandoms that might be become a fandom page in the future.

These ideas include:
Batman (Fandom): Batman from any movie or tv show (1960s)

Superman (Fandom): Superman from any movie or tv show

Wonder Woman (Fandom): Wonder Woman from any movie or tv show (1970s)

She-Ra (1985): The She-Ra from 1985 also known as She-Ra (Masters of the Universe).

Why I haven't create these fandoms yet
Well I don't really know much about creating fandoms. So I don't know how to make a fandom page.

More Things About Me
For Thursday-Sunday when I have to leave my house to go somewhere I might have to be forced to save my edits early. When the articles I have edited or create and I’m not there to edit them to make changes or to save it if it’s a skeleton. DO NOT IMMEDIATELY DELETE THE PAGE Just edit it to extend or change it to the page that will save it from getting deleted. If no one can help with the page give me a chance to save the page. Just give me 6-9 or 24 hours to save the page. I have stated this with other editors on this Wiki I don’t mind help from others helping me with the articles will help me a lot if you help with the articles that I have edited or created. I also find blocking to be annoying and a waste of time, because it involves spending time away from the wiki and not being able to edit any of your favorite ships and it can annoy anyone if you’re blocked. I honestly think somebody could get frustrated or angry or mad because no one can edit or add posts like pictures, videos, and gifs. And I think it’s just cruel to block someone more than a month. I think blocking some for 1-3 weeks is fine but 1-12 months is cruel and unfair to someone.

What’s fair or unfair to block in my opinion

 * Days or Weeks = In my opinion it’s for something minor like an honest mistake (UNFAIR)
 * Months = In my opinion it’s for spams or vandalism like false content or trolls edits
 * Forever = This type of block is for someone who crosses the line or for someone who repeatedly went against someone’s warning or something really bad

My reason why
People make mistakes and they might be an honest mistake and I think that they shouldn’t be severely punished for it. And if some were to get blocked it should be a fair reason and the punishment shouldn’t be cruel. I don’t like unfair people to those who make mistakes. There is an amendment in the U.S that states that there should be no cruel or unusual punishments. And to block someone for simple mistakes isn’t fair. Every editor should only be blocked if what they did was on purpose, and some editors may have done things that weren’t on purpose. There are things I do that are not on purpose but only an accident.

Canonical ships meaning in my opinion

 * Canon = When two characters are dating or engaged or married or parted ways, like one of them passed away or something else, I’m not sure how I feel about divorce.
 * Semi-Canon = When two characters or at least one of them is attracted to the other one or both have feelings for each other, or maybe not with some characters, or formerly had feelings for that person.
 * Fanon = When two characters don’t feel interested in the other one or just they're good friends that didn't show signs for being together in the future, or maybe they might.
 * Familyship = It's a family relationship or somewhat when two characters treat themselves as family.
 * Cargo = This ship it's just a 'parody', you can ship anyone with anything else like food and everyday objects.
 * Polyship = It's like a 'love triangle' or some other shape is a ship between 3 or more people when the main character has a lot of love interests or something like that.
 * Friendship/Friend = Like Canon, Semi-Canon, Fanon, and Poly, the characters aren't shown to be together or at least in a relationship in the future, because they would 'match' better as friends, or because they can be good friends with animals or something else. Also, Friendship can be with 2 or more people.

Other types of ships that I think should be a ship

 * Partnership = I think that this should be a ship based on two or more people who are either friends or not friends but agree to work with each other.
 * Friendemies ship = I think that this should be a ship based on friends/enemies but I think that it would fall under the category of a friendship.
 * Enemies Ship = I noticed that a lot of ships that have two characters that are enemies are labeled as a friendship and it doesn't make any sense and I have reasons to believe that it should be labeled as a Enemies ship.

None ships names
There might be fusion names of characters that could accidently be a ship but it's not:


 * Shadic: In the trivia section of Sonadow, Shadic is a fusion between Sonic and Shadow.
 * Borushiki: This is a fusion name of Boruto and Momoshiki as it's Momoshiki posessing Boruto.
 * Kawashiki: It's kinda a fusion name of Kawaki and Isshiki but it's not the same as Borushiki as Isshiki is gone and Kawaki is able to use Isshiki's power through his artifical Kāma seal without being possessed by Isshiki.

Canon
Since I mostly watch anime I will put contents that have happened in the anime. But animes that are sub will also be included in the articles. But since mangas are far ahead of the anime there will be times that I’ll add content in articles that have happened in the manga. Or other editors can add content to the article that has happened in the manga. For me to write the contents for the Canon section for the ships I will watch the anime while I’m editing for the ship.

Semi-Canon
I’ve never put this in any contents in any articles that I’ve edited or created. But other editors are free to add that section into the articles.

Fanon
I’ve written content in the Fanon section based on things from the anime or manga. I will write content for the Fanon section on what’s based off on my head anything I think of I’ll write it down on what base off the ships. I’ll try to add more stuff for the Fanon part and I’ll try to add more stuff from fan art and fan-made comics.

Galleries

 * Images: I will add images that are from the anime
 * Fan Arts: I will add Fan Arts and I will interdentally link the source immediately link the source so don’t jump to conclusions that I didn’t link the source.
 * Videos: I will add fan-made videos from YouTube for the articles

What you should expect from my edits

 * Contents from happened in the anime
 * Other editors are free to put contents that happened in the manga
 * Contents that are base in my head
 * Contents that aren’t from other wikis

What you shouldn’t be expected to be in my articles

 * Being super detailed
 * A lot of details
 * Contents that are copied
 * Putting Semi-Canon headings
 * I never put that in my articles yet
 * Contents that other editors didn’t think of

Why it means to be a logical shipper in my opinion
Basically what it means to be a logical shipper in my opinion is for the characters to have things in common like:


 * Background
 * Personality
 * Any other stuff beside background or personality

I ship characters that have things in common. If someone ships two characters together because they think “They’re cute together” that’s not a good enough reason or some really bad excuse. I don’t ship things that don’t make sense, like Drarry no offends to anyone who ships this. But that ship makes no sense, their personality and background just don’t match. I don’t appreciate forced ships.

Acquaintances

 * Frie-ice: Was the first person to tell me to not have skeletons as articles and to links to fan arts
 * IxCamxI: Helped me with a lot of my MHA articles
 * Tizmoa: Asked her help with the Brierson page
 * RABNerd VP: Had some acquaintances with her.
 * CarterDekufan: Meet in my hero academia wiki
 * Carltonus: This user helped me with the making of the BoruSara Userbox. And I thanked him for the helping me make the userbox.
 * XxXKawaki UzumakiXxx: Collabed with to work on my BoruSara page that I saved on my Google Drive.
 * Comicxzz: This user wished me a happy birthday (sorry I don't know if I should address you as a male or female)
 * Yamasauce: Haven't had much interaction with this user. Either that I asked this user to add some content from the light novels in Boruto for my article.

Editing Style
To anyone who asks me about how I edit my articles. I watch the anime of the show and I edit while I'm watching the video. And when I was doing my First YouTube ship article I was watching YouTube and editing at the same time. So basically for my articles I watch a episode of a show or a YouTube while I'm editing for an article all at the same time. Also because I watch anime and edit my article all at the same time,  Please do NOT accuse me of copying content from other wikis for my articles . Also I sometimes will read the manga. Also since I started editing on Naruto fandom shipping pages. There are events that are not in the manga and the anime, so those events for shipping aren't in both anime and manga are in the novels. The Naruto and Boruto light novels are something I have no idea on finding out on how to read, so their might be a time where I might have read another wiki to write about that event for the ship.

How I like to edit my articles
I generally like to have events placed in chronical order like placing down a timeline. Like everyone fandom to have a chronical timeline.

Example articles

 * BakuCamie
 * IidaMei
 * OjiToru (Although I had to force to publish early because I had to leave my house)

Another fact
I actually did watch the show for editing my BoruSara when I was reworking on the page. I was watching a whole 22 minute episode just to rework my article. I have all 119 episodes on the Dub Boruto anime, that was basically almost 50 hours or more of work on reworking the BoruSara page to rewrite the article to have it written in my own words. And it took hours to thinks of the words in my own head to have it written in my own words. And she told me to watch the show. And I actually plan to watch the sub to edit the BoruSara page more.

The reason why I had the arcs and filler eps as my sub titles
Well, I saw the IzuOcha page have headers for the Arcs so I wanted to do the same thing for the BoruSara article.

Conclusion
In Conclusion I actually do watch the anime to edit my articles.

Great Sources for articles

 * Others Wikis: Basically any wiki that does shipping or has info on characters
 * The Amagi: It’s a YouTube Channel that does explain History, The Life of a Character, or the History of some things, and announcements on fandoms.

Will there be a page about the 20th century DC Heroes Page?
I actually don't know if there's going to be a page about the 60's Batman and 90's Flash and the 70's Wonder Woman TV Show. I actually hope they have a page about those series. But in reality that would mean more ships to make and their might be some pages that going to have this brackets and I'm pretty sure that there's no pages or their might be some pages that have might have brackets on this wiki I know that theirs other pages in different wikis that have brackets. '''I'm not sure if Wondertrev will have know anything from the events from Wonder Woman 1975-77 I'm just not sure. Because I'm not sure if theirs's a lot of people that remember that or ever heard of it. Or have ever watched the TV Show.''' But people are still allowed to add it on the articles. Although it is possible that some have might of heard of if or remembered it and have seen the show, that doesn't mean that people can't add some content of shipping's that happened in the TV Show that happened in the 20th century that also means that you could also add somethings form the 20th century in the character pages .

Convertors
Due to downloading images either it's a PNG or a JPG will sometimes will end up as a webp file. So I use these convertors that are linked below.

Somethings that some ships technically are or originally was

 * The BoruSara ship is a canon friendship but a fanon het ship (Due to their childhood friendship)
 * The NaruHina ship was originally a Semi-Canon ship (Due to Hinata's crush on Naruto, happened in Naurto until Naruto the Last)
 * The SasSaku ship was originally a Semi-Canon ship (Due to Sakura's crush on Sasuke, happened in Naurto until after the Fourth Great Ninja War)
 * The SaiIno ship was originally a Semi-Canon ship (Due to Ino's crush on Sai, happended when Ino first met Sai)
 * The Wondertrev ship is Canon/Semi-Canon/Fanon depending on which universe. In most comic and movies or tv shows it's Canon. But in some comics and in the 1970s Wonder Woman TV Show it's Semi-Canon. But in some universe where Wonder Woman is in love with Superman or Batman or someone else that ship is Fanon in the universe.

Theroies
I'm an Anime Theorist so I have a ton of theroies in anime that I might share on this wiki.

My Hero Academia

 * Katsuki Bakugou is a descendant of the second user of One For All.

The Legend of Zelda

 * Link from Skyward Sword is the ancestor to all of the Links leading down to the child timeline
 * The reincarnations of the Link from the Adult and Fallen time had descendants.

The Link from Skyward Sword is the direct ancestor to the Link leading down to the Child timeline (Theory #1)
I believe that Link the Hero of the Skies from Skyward Sword is the ancestor to all the Links leading up to the Link the Hero of Time from Ocarina of Time and continuing up to the child timeline. Here's what I mean, since Link the Hero of Time was sent back in time to relive his childhood creating the three split timelines that we know of. Since Link from Twlight Princess is revealed to be a descendant of the Link from Ocarina of Time meaning that Link from Twilight Princess must have had descendants leading up to Four Swords Adeventures meaning that Link

The reincarnations of the Link from the Adult and Fallen time had descendants (Theory #2)
What I mean by this is that the two Links that appear in the two timelines being the fallen and adult timeline who are the reincarnations of Link from Ocarina of Time. I believe that at some point after Link to the Past/Link's Awakening and Wind Waker/Phantom Hourglass those two Links had descendants after they defeated Ganon or Ganondorf.

Some theories I don't like
There are some anime theories that I don't like, some of these theories don't make any sense.


 * Boruto becomes a rouge ninja in the future. (I really don't like this theory)

Anime/Manga series thoughts
There are some things in the series that got me thinking something.

Demon Slayer

 * Nezuko's Great-Grandchildren are descendants of the Kamdo family

Since Sumiyoshi is the ancestor of Kamado family, since Nezuko Kamado married Zenitsu Agatsuma and had four great-grandchildren being Toko, Yoshiteru Agatsuma, and two unnamed great-granddaughters. Meaning that all of Nezuko's Great-Grandchildren not only descendants of Sumiyoshi but also descendants of the Kamdo family.


 * Tanjuro and Kie Kamado and Kotoha Hashibira are the ancestors of the future Kamado, Agatsuma and Hasbira descendants

Since the end of the main of the main story of Demon Slayer, it revealed that Tanjiro and Kanao have two great-great-grandsons named Kanata and Sumihiko Kamado and that Nezuko and Zenitsu have four great-grandchildren two of them who are named Toko and Yoshiteru Agatsuma and the Inosuke and Aoi have two great-grandsons. Meaning that Tanjuro and Kie are the great-great-great-grandparents of Kanata and Sumihiko and the great-great-grandparents of Toko and Yoshiteru and the two unnamed sisters of Toko and Yoshiteru. Also since Kotoha is the mother of Inosuke meaning she's the great-great-grandmother of Aoba Hashibira and his unnamed brother.

Kokushibo must still have some descendants besides the Tokito family.
 * Kokushibo still has descendants

The Legend of Zelda
This makes scene as the Zelda from Skyward Sword had descendants from the time period between games even after a centurny has passed after Skyward Sword leading up Ocarina of time it even countined after the timeline split as all of Zelda's descendants are named after her.
 * Zelda from Skyward Sword is the direct ancestor to all of the Zelda from all three timelines

Demon Slayer

 * Kanae and Shinobu Kocho are the adoptive-great-great-grandaunts of Kanao and Tanjiro's great-great-grandsons.
 * Kanata Kamado's name might be derived from either his great-great-grandmother Kanao or his adoptive-great-great-grandaunt Kanae.
 * Sumihiko Kamado's name might be derived from Sumiyoshi the ancestor of the Kamado family or Tanjiro and Tanjuro his great-great-grandfather or his great-great-great-grandfather.

Why I've been putting Naruto Explained videos in the Naruto ships
So to those of you who have visited any Naruto ships that I have edited on have seen a video from the YouTube channel Naruto Explained in articles on Naruto ships on pages of thoses ships. And I have reason why I do.

The reason why I put Naruto Explained videos in Naruto ships articles
I personally feel that the Naruto Explained videos are more appropriate videos to add. As I believe that Naruto Explained is one of the YouTube channels that talk about anime to add to this wiki then another youtube channel that talks about anime like Anime Balls Deep channel as I bleieve that the channel isn't appropriate to add to this wiki. As the channel uses some weird fan arts in their videos.

Ships that I think have the best chemistry together
There are some ships based off characters who I think have the best chemistry together from their respective series.
