Article needs to be chopped
[edit]Though I know it's very important for fans of the series to keep adding more and more detail, there are some significant problems with this article that are not consistent with a number of Wikipedia guidelines. Per the the Manual of Style for Television:
- "Remember to follow the notability guidelines when creating a cast list: Not every fictional character ever created deserves to be listed"
- "Try to avoid using the section as a repository for further "in-universe" information that really belongs in the plot summary; instead, focus on real world information on the characters and actors."
- "The character descriptions could include main plot points about the character—followed by any relevant real world information that could include, but is not limited to, casting of the actor or how the character was created and developed over the course of the series."
From WP:MOSFICT:
- "An in-universe perspective describes the narrative from the perspective of characters within the fictional universe, treating it as if it were real and ignoring real-world context and sourced analysis."
- "Many fan wikis and fan websites (see below) take this approach, but it should not be used for Wikipedia articles. An in-universe perspective can be misleading, inviting unverifiable original research. Most importantly, in-universe perspective defies community consensus as to what we do not want Wikipedia to be or become."
- "Fictography – an article or section about a fictional character written like a biography, placing, for example, undue emphasis on titles or birthdates despite their being unimportant to the plot or interpretation."
There's much more. But the bottom line is that there is far too much detail in this article, far too much emphasis on in-universe language and events, far too much plot coverage, and virtually no real-world content. I will likely be taking a stab at cutting this article down significantly in the upcoming weeks. For scope, please note what was recently cut from the 2012 TMNT character list. This is the severity of the cuts I am proposing. Note also that part of the concern has to do with copyright concerns. Excessive logging of detail and presenting it in this style format can be considered a derivative work, which is a violation of copyright. Our job as editors is not to replace the experience of watching this series. It's to present a rough overview of the most important information. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:36, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
- Whatever bloat gets cut for being uncited, could it be life-boated here for review to see if cites can be located to support it for subsequent restoration? 184.145.18.50 (talk) 23:49, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- We don't use talk pages as repositories for all the crap in articles that gets cut. That's why we have edit histories. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:22, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
I understand that the character list isn't a place to rehash plot, but I'm confused. Why not just cut everything from the individual characters' descriptions then, except for basic need-to-know things? For example, "Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon/Green Ninja/Golden Ninja:- The son of Sensei Garmadon and Misako, nephew of Sensei Wu, and grandson of the First Spinjitzu Master. Lloyd is the Master of Energy, and the leader of the team. Though introduced as a child, he has been aged by magical tea up to the same age as the other ninja". There, three sentences long. Or even less: "Lloyd Garmadon/Green Ninja:- The Master of Energy and leader of the team". If apparently updating it with things that happen in the newer seasons, aside from new characters, is too much in-universe material, why not just take everything but the basics out? 2 April 2016 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.37.245.184 (talk • contribs)
- Yes, much of what's in each description should be pared down significantly. Note this cut performed by another editor at a Turtles article. The article will never get any shorter so long as there is long-winded prose inviting casual editors to add what they perceive to be salient plot points: "it was revealed in Episode N that so-and-so likes vanilla ice cream." Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:19, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
If there’s no objection, I’d like to take a crack at paring down this article, as per Cyphoidbomb’s suggestion. I may not be able to edit some parts of the article (those from seasons 6-7), because I am not familiar with that subject. Noah Kastin (talk) 02:41, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Noah Kastin: I have no objections! I simply don't have time to do it, and it's not really my area of interest, so if you are so inspired, crack away. I suspect the chief objections you will receive will be in the form of editors silently restoring much of the cruft, which may be irritating. You might also consider removing any characters who only appeared once, or who didn't have a really significant role in the entire series. We aren't here to replace IMDb, and Wikia can always be the go-to repository for information only fans care about. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:08, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
I just posted a big edit to the page, along the lines of the previous discussion. This reduces the level of detail of description on each character, and removes plot summaries. I still have to edit the sections on seasons 6 and onwards. Season 7 has not been released yet — perhaps I ought to remove the material on that entirely.
I’m not sure what to do about the minor characters. I can remove some minor characters, especially ones who are only in sets and do not appear on the TV shows. Alternately, I can add some minor characters who are missing. Any thoughts? Noah Kastin (talk) 05:52, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
Vandalism ??
[edit]Can someone in the know look at the edits of 196.216.11.159 this month - they may be vandalism as that source has vandalised another Wiki article. Viking1808 (talk) 18:39, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
Character voice actor info
[edit]For some of you who don't know it yet, they have used other voice actors when it comes to the characters appearing in other projects like Lego Dimensions and the upcoming movie The Lego Ninjago Movie. Do you think we should list the othe voice actors for the characters since the intro to the character page listed the all other media part of it? --Rtkat3 (talk) 17:06, 27 July 2016 (UTC) This is an article about the TV show, so it is unlikely that information about the characters being voiced by different actors in other media not directly related to the TV show will be considered relevant to the topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.99.198.154 (talk) 18:20, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
Help request for stability
[edit]Hi there! I’ve discovered five different types of material which are frequently added to the page, and which cause problems for the usefulness and stability of the article. These problems are, as follows:
- Plot details are often mentioned in character descriptions. As discussed on the talk page, under “Article needs to be chopped”, these should not be included.
- The way characters look is often mentioned in their descriptions. This seems likely to cause a problem, as character descriptions could easily become very long. (For example, Kai has more than ten different ninja suits, each with their own distinctive appearance.)
- The titles of Wu, Garmadon, Yang, and Dareth keep changing. At some times they are written as Sensei, while at other times they are written as Master. The former title is used exclusively in the TV show, and the latter is exclusively used on Lego’s website. Both are correct, but apply to different areas. Possibly for this reason, editors will often modify the titles of these characters, causing the article to be unstable.
- Last names for four characters (Kai, Cole, Zane, and Nya) are regularly added, but there are no official sources I can find confirming last names for these characters.
- Frequent errors with grammar, redundancy, typos, formatting, and occasionally ambiguity.
Is there some way that these problems can be stabilized (in the case of 3 and 4) or avoided (in other cases)? If anyone has any suggestions, please state them here.
Thanks! Noah Kastin (talk) 01:14, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
- Noah Kastin you are correctly noticing all of the same problems I've been seeing in this and similar articles. I see the two possibilities to be either constant scrutiny and maintenance or long-term protection. For the time being I've protected the article for a month to hopefully stimulate discussion from some of the interested casual editors. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:07, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
Meaning-changing edit?
[edit]Hi, 86.4.212.166! Thank you for contributing to this article! I noticed an edit you made to this article a few days ago, saying that Kai became more even-tempered “especially before episode 10”. However, I believe this occurred after episode 10. If you think this actually occurred before episode 10, please say so here, and we can try to achieve consensus. Otherwise, I will change this text to something along the lines of “starting after episode 10”. Thank you again! Noah Kastin (talk) 00:45, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
- I don't believe IPs get notifications, so I've dropped this user a talkback. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:30, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
Content Reversion: 2/22/17 UTC
[edit]Hi, Sceptilefan and SuperMarioZaki1! Thank you for your edits!
I have reverted these edits, as they do not comply with Wikipedia guidelines, for the following reasons:
- Sceptilefan’s first edit was reverted, because the content added may not actually be true. (I can’t find anything saying that Kai was the oldest.) Also, it was not in the citation after it.
- Sceptilefan’s second edit was somewhat irrelevant. Although Lloyd was the Green Ninja/Chosen One, by the time he became the leader of the Ninja, this fact was barely mentioned.
- Sceptilefan’s third edit had grammatical issues.
- SuperMarioZaki1’s edits were reverted because most of their content was uncited, and it was about future events. I am looking into restoring the content about current events which could be cited, namely the parts about the Time Twins and Vermillion.
Thank you again for your edits!
Noah Kastin (talk) 01:51, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
- Sorry Sceptilefan if I mentioned you twice, but I realized that the username of the other person was not the one I wrote, thus possibly triggering the double mention. Please forgive the mistake. Noah Kastin (talk) 01:55, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
Content Reversion: 1/29/17 UTC
[edit]Thank you, 86.4.212.166 and Xigua7, for your edits to this page.
I have reverted these edits, as most of them do not comply with the guidelines for the page, for one of three reasons:
- They describe events in the story (and should be removed, as discussed here).
- They describe character appearances, which likely is a problem.
- They have formatting or grammatical errors.
I have re-added to the article the parts which do not have any of these problems.
Thank you again for your edits!
Noah Kastin (talk) 09:35, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
- This discussion was originally held on my talk page, but has now been moved here, as I deemed it to be more appropriate here, according to Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Noah Kastin (talk) 07:12, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
Content Reversion: 3/6/17 UTC
[edit]Thank you, Pollychow2003, for your edit!
I just reverted this edit, as it contained an uncited last name for one of the Ninja. As discussed on this talk page, under "Help request for stability", bullet point 4, this is a problem.
Thanks again for your edit!

Should characters' death be mentioned?
[edit]Hi! I know that plot details should not be mentioned here. The question is: Does a charcter's death count as a plot detail, or as something important about the character which should be mentioned here? This is relevant because a few characters on this list have officially died. If anyone has any opinions, please let me know. Thanks! Noah Kastin (talk) 23:56, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
Complex edit: 3/19/17 UTC
[edit]Thank you, Agarak, for adding so much great information to this article!
I just made some modifications to what you added:
- Added:
- more citations.
- possibly important facts.
- Deleted:
- possibly unimportant facts.
- facts which were not in the citations.
- statement that Krux is Dr. Saunders. (I can’t find any reliable sources for this. Brickipedia, the only source I can find supporting this, seems to disagree with itself about this; on Krux's page, it says that he is Dr. Saunders, but the page “Dr. Saunders” redirects to Acronix’s page.)
- Fixed wiki-markup, whitespace, typographical, ambiguity, and structural errors.
- Changed "Time Twins" to "Hands of Time" and “time vortex” to “Time Vortex”, as that is what they are called in the citations.
- Made other information more citable.
And thanks again, Agarak, for adding all of that great information in the first place!
Noah Kastin (talk) 02:16, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
- By the way, Agarak, I just wanted to elaborate on the thanks:
- I appreciate the addition of all of the Lego references. I didn't realize that Lego had updated their website, thus adding a lot of useful material to their website.
- I really appreciate the Day of the Departed references. (I assume that that's what the "episode 65" references for Sensei Yang and his students were for.) I removed the episode numbers from them (as I think Day of the Departed officially has no number, like the pilot episodes) and added the title. This was done for clarity, as Season 7 episode 1 will probably be labeled "episode 65". However, like I said, the references were very useful. It didn't occur to me to cite Day of the Departed as a source for the information on Sensei Yang and his students.
- Again, thanks for adding all this! It was very useful.

[edit]Perhaps you all can get together and cut this article, add reliable secondary sources, drop all the links to the Lego website, and make this look like an encyclopedic article rather than the Lego Wikia. Drmies (talk) 04:59, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, Drmies! Thanks for stopping by! In response to your concerns:
- Can you please clarify what needs to be "cut"?
- I
can't actuallyam not in a position to find any secondary sources for this article. The only sources Ican findam in a position to use are the TV show and Lego's website. Would replacing all links to Lego's website with citations to the TV show be preferable?
- Thanks! Noah Kastin (talk) 05:41, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
- That is precisely the problem with this and other such articles: they are merely product listings based on primary sources. Drmies (talk) 10:11, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, Drmies! I agree that adding secondary sources would be a great improvement to this article. If you want to find some secondary sources, that would be great! Thanks! Noah Kastin (talk) 00:37, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

Request to move page to List of Lego Ninjago characters
[edit]Hi! I noticed that, due to a lot of information about the Lego Ninjago theme in general, this page might more aptly be called List of Lego Ninjago characters. Reasons include:
- Listed characters who only have an extra part in Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu, but also appear in sets and at Lego's official website, https://www.lego.com/en-us/ninjago.
- Added information from Lego's official website, which is about the theme in general (including the two edits made by Agarak on 3/17/17 UTC).
In short, List of Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjtizu characters suggests that it is a list of characters from the show, whereas List of Lego Ninjago characters suggests that it is a list of characters from the theme in general, which is what it seems to be.
If anyone has any opinions, please let me know here.
Thanks!
Noah Kastin (talk) 05:34, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
- I have now moved the page. If you has any questions, suggestions, or opinions about this move, please state them here. Thanks! Noah Kastin (talk) 01:50, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
- After moving the page, I changed as many links linking to the old page name to link to the new page name. However, there are some talk pages that still link to the old page name. Should I modify all, some, or none of these to link to the new page name? Noah Kastin (talk) 06:05, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Noah, user comments should not be modified. If you performed the move correctly, then redirects should have been created automatically as needed. I'd have to see what links you're referring to, in order to provide further guidance. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:26, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, Cyphoidbomb! Thanks for the reply!
- I think I performed the move correctly. The move did turn List of Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu characters into a redirect to this page. However, through Special:WhatLinksHere, I discovered many links to List of Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu characters. In an attempt to follow the guidelines on fixing double redirects after moving a page, I tried to change every link to the old page name so that it redirects to the new page name.
- For example, I changed Lloyd Garmadon and Lord garmadon to redirect here instead of to the old page. Now, links to them won't cause double redirects landing users on List of Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu chaacters.
- The talk pages which I did not alter can be accessed through Special:WhatLinksHere for List of Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu characters. They all seem to be discussions or warnings to users about edits they made to this page while it had the old name. I did notice one page which is not a talk page (User:Nin-5H/Favorites), but I will talk to Nin-5H about that.
- Thanks again for responding! If there's anything more I can help you with, please let me know!

[edit]Hi, 41.162.36.250! Thank you for editing Wikipedia!
I have just reverted your edit, because it contained uncited information about the Hands of Time/Time Twins. The only information I can find about them is on Lego's website, on the character pages of the Hands of Time, which did not include this material. Also, as far as I know, the seventh season of Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu, which might contain more information about these characters, has not yet aired.
If you have any questions, please let me know.

Tai-D vs. Juggernaut
[edit]Hi, 119.6.126.165! Thank you for editing Wikipedia!
I just reverted one of your edits, changing the name of a character, Tai-D, to Juggernaut. This was done because no evidence was given showing that the character's name really is Juggernaut. If you can find any reliably sourced evidence that the character's name really is Juggernaut, that would be greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions, please let me know.

[edit]Hi, 67.243.111.175! Thank you for editing Wikipedia!
I have just reverted two edits, for the following reasons:
- One edit said that Lloyd will be a main character in Season 7 of Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. Until Season 7 airs, whether or not Lloyd is in Season 7 and whether or not he will be a main character in it will be unknown.
- One edit added information about Lloyd being the Green Ninja. While it is an important plot detail, it is still a plot detail; see this link and this link for reasons why plot details should not be included.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Again, thank you for editing Wikipedia!

Maya edit: 3/27/17 UTC
[edit]Hi, 65.12.162.252! Thank you for fixing an inaccuracy within Maya's description (changing Maya being the Master of Fire to being the Master of Water)!
I noticed that you added a citation in Maya's description to lego.con/ninjago. While this does take you to this page if you type it into a search engine, this does not actually work in a Wikipedia citation. Instead, this link should be used:
Also, Maya's description already had a citation to Maya's character page at the end of the paragraph, making the lego.com/ninjago citation seem redundant.
If the lego.com/ninjago citation was supposed to cite some other page on the website, please let me know. Also, please let me know if you have any questions about the subject of this discussion.
Again, thanks for editing this page and fixing misinformation!

[edit]Hi, 75.133.123.109! Thank you for editing Wikipedia!
I just manually reverted one of your edits. This edit added what seasons Lloyd appears in after the information on who voiced him. What seasons Lloyd appears in is useful information. However, the statistics on where Lloyd appears is already written at the end of his entry, as it is at the end of all of the characters' descriptions. Therefore, as only one list of seasons that Lloyd appears in is necessary, I figured that it should be at the end of his description, to match the other character entries, instead of being at the beginning of his entry, which is currently unique.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks!

Confusing edits: 5/27/15 UTC
[edit]Hi, Drmies! Thank you for all your great work!
I am somewhat confused by your recent edits to this article; in particular, these seven (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). Here's what I found confusing about them:
- A large number of the references citing the official Lego website as a source were removed. Also, a large number of references citing the TV show were removed.
- I understand that the official Lego webiste and the TV show are primary sources, which I understand should not be all of the sources that the article has. However, they were largely there due to the fact that I had not found any secondary sources, and I figured that primary sources were better than no sources.
- I'm also confused about why you removed only some of the citations to the Lego website and the TV show, but did not remove all of them. If you could explain why you did that, that would be greatly appreciated!
- A lot of details about the personality or magical powers of various characters were removed. If you can explain why you removed the ones you did, that would help tremendously!
- The fact that some fairly unimportant characters existed was removed. I do not know of any specific guidelines for what characters should be on the list; mainly, the reason why I kept them there was because they were there when I found the article. It would be useful if we could discuss where the threshold for character inclusion is, a question which could greatly help the development of the article if answered.
- The characters' names were un-bolded. I can't find anything at MOS:BOLD, MOS:LIST, or H:LIST that explains whether character names should be bolded or not. If you can point me to a relevant guideline, help page, etc. that explains whether or not character pages should be bolded, that would help immensely!
- Edit 1 reverted two edits that added Lloyd's middle name as Montgomery and Zane's last name as Julien. I cannot find any sources stating that Zane's last name is Julien. However, Lloyd is referred to once as "Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon" in the TV show. Arguably, this fact is fairly unimportant, as it is only used once (and does not affect very much even then); however, I think it is possible that the fact warrants inclusion in the article. If you can let me know your opinion on this, that would help considerably!
Please let me know what you think about my questions and miscellaneous statements.
Thank you again for your great work!

- Noah, we are not Wikia or a fan site. If there are no reliable secondary sources, then why is it on Wikipedia? List of characters are of questionable relevance already, and linking to LEGO websites also turns these articles into linkfarms. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 01:17, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you for your reply, Drmies!
- I just did a quick Google search for reliable secondary sources for this article and couldn’t find any. However, I can’t find any information in the relevant guidelines (WP:SAL and WP:N) regarding whether or not this causes the page to fail Wikipedia’s general notability guideline. If you can help me find out whether a lack of reliable secondary sources does, in fact, cause this page to fail Wikipedia’s notability guidelines, I would greatly appreciate that!
- If the article does fail Wikipedia’s notability guidelines, it would probably be useful to consider putting the article through either PM or AfD, depending on whether some of the article’s content would be useful in its parent page (Lego Ninjago). Otherwise, I would like to discuss a few potential issues regarding the article’s format and content.
- Thanks again for the reply!
- Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 01:42, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Noah Kastin, notability requirements for Wikipedia list articles are notoriously muddled. As far as I'm concerned, WP:LISTN is clear enough, though, but even that allows some leeway. I have not nominated many of these articles for deletion since one runs into an enormous wall of fans who are dead-set on keeping this kind of information and that gets tedious. There is more in WP:SALAT.
But let's take this case. Lego Ninjago is notable as a topic, I suppose, though I count no more than two reliable sources in Lego Ninjago--the article, like many such articles, consists mostly of catalog information. The individual characters have no coverage at all. As far as I'm concerned, that makes it ineligible for an article. Arguments for keeping such articles fall mostly in the "but I like it" category" (sometimes modified to "but it's important"); an underlying assumption frequently seems to be that the characters deserve an article because the main topic is notable. I do not subscribe to that opinion. IMO, a short list of the main characters would be acceptable in the main article, including names of their voice artists. This article, and the hundreds like it, should be deleted.
BTW, that leads to something else. A lot of those voice artists appear to be considered notable because they have voiced characters who figure in such lists; the lists themselves thus lend credence to the voice artist's notability--this is what Wikipedia:Walled garden is all about. At random I grabbed a voice artist from this list--Jillian Michaels (voice actress)--and their article has nothing except for a list of credits: the list of credits lends credibility to the BLP. I could PROD it, and we'd see what happens: what is likely is that someone will add a reference for a credit or two, basically proving that she did voice work for this or that role, and the PROD will be denied, even though there is still no significant sourcing that discusses the subject (this person), and thus no passing of the GNG. This is how these walled gardens work. In this case, though, the article goes back to 2003, so a BLP PROD won't work in the first place--let's see what happens at AfD.

- As I understand it, we mainly bold names to indicate that they redirect here (or vice versa, to help a reader who came to a page via a redirect to find the term they looked up, which in some cases has been merged, or may be only briefly mentioned). Yngvadottir (talk) 01:28, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Noah, per WP:TVCAST:
"In accordance with the Manual of Style guidance on boldface, actors and roles should not be bolded, nor should they be italicized."
Noah, you might also consider asking members of WikiProject Television if they think the list article warrants a unique article. I don't think it's unreasonable that a show with a lot of characters would have a standalone article once the main article became bloated. List of Millennium characters is a Featured List Article, although it does have well-sourced real-world information, and isn't bogged down with in-universe stuff. In children's TV articles, we run the risk of encouraging fancruft. As Drmies notes, we are not Wikia, nor are we IMDb, so we're not obligated to go into great detail, which means we're also not required to list everybody. But it might be better to get guidance from people who work on fleshing these sorts of pages out, i.e. WikiProject Television members. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:15, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

The Lego Ninjago Movie info
[edit]hello? should info regarding the characters' Lego Ninjago Movie counterparts be put on this article, including their voice actors? Visokor (talk) 13:24, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Visokor: Thanks for asking! Currently, whether this article should exist or not and what it should contain is being discussed at the Lego Ninjago talk page. For now, having the Lego Ninjago Movie voice artists on this article should be fine, but the page may be subject to a drastic revamp or even being merged or turned into a redirect, depending on what consensus is reached at the Lego Ninjago talk page discussion. If you want to contribute to the conversation where this is being discussed, feel free to do so! Your input will be welcomed. Thanks again for asking! Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 23:17, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
