Questions

Her age can't be 100; her bio says she's lived for thousands of years.

What's the source on her hieght?

Odd wording

In the triva section, "In actuality, Tanya was meant to be Kitana, but a color change here and an attack change there made her a whole new character."

This doesn't sound right, especially in an encyclopedia. I don't want to remove it because it might be true information, but it should be rephrased if that's the case.

-Done. Shadaloo 13:47, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tanya's Weapons

What the devil are Tanya's weapons, exactly? Kobujutsu, also known as Kobojutu or Kobudo, is traditionally a blanket term of ancient Japanese martial arts, most of which are weapons combat. Tanya's weapons look like nothing that I've ever seen (they appear to be a mutation of the sai or jitte). Does a weapon that actually resembles these ones exist?

I haven't seen a weapon that looks like Tanya's Kobu Jutsu, and I think it is a derivation of tonfa. "The blanket term" problem also occures at Scorpion's weapons (his weapon is Mugai Ryu, and it wikilinks to Koryu, which is also a blanket term). I'm going to search about Kobu Jutsu over the internet, and if I can find something, it'll be good I think. Master Spider 14:47, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I guess that's the problem with the MK team's lack of thorough research -_- The S 04:21, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think I have seen this weapon in the game Soul Caliber 2 and Soul Caliber 3 as Taki's weapons. Im still not sure what they should be though. Jamesbuc

Alignment

It's listed as Evil, yet the trivia section says that the ending which demonstrated her being evil never happened. That's a bit confusing, so I changed the alignment to unknown. 199.126.137.209 10:16, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tanya's ending in MK4 may not be canon, but she seems to have the same "morals" in MK: Deception, which lists her alignment as evil. As this is the most recent information, I'm changing it back. RobWill80 12:47, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, her alignment in Deception is pretty clearly evil (between her two bios and interaction in Konquest). EVula 14:39, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia article about Tanya is back

Well done, i must create this artwork from Mortal Kombat X and introduce soon. 12:20, 9 April 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.247.224.123 (talk)

Nope, it's been redirected back to the MK character list. She's nowhere near as notable as the other characters who actually do have articles, and her appearance in MKX doesn't change that. sixtynine ^{• speak up •} 22:40, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
