So, hello, I've been adding a bunch of background and minor quirks onto the Wiki page. Mostly out of boredom, but also for self-reference and wanting to help out the wiki. I like to scroll through the Quirks page and just see what powers people have, and use it like an electronic library. It helps me to gather inspiration, and I've been slowly adding in Quirks, first from Izuku and Katsuki's classroom, and then eventually moving onto the USJ villains Quirks, and any other background ones that I could find. I've been doing a lot of research into this topic in prep for all of this.

They just all got their pages deleted, removed from the Quirks category, and put into some list that I wasn't aware of.

Uh.... I'm glad they weren't outright deleted, but I have to say, I'm a little ticked off that the pages were just outright deleted. I don't feel like this was appropriate, and if this is the wrong place for this kind of post, I do deeply apologise, but I do have a list of reasons why I disagree with this action.

For one, I've added in minor and unnamed Quirks before. Blade, Sword, Optic Blaster, each of those were added in by me, and several of those fall under the category of "Minor Quirks, yet they're absent from this list, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. We know neither the name of those Quirks, and barely even know the characters who own them.

Second of all, we have totally unnamed Quirks on that list whose makers didn't even bother to add on more of a name. Trapezius' Quirk is more worthy of its own pages than the ones I've been listing? I don't really understand the logic there. There isn't even an image included (Which I intend to fix later on) I have at least attempted to be creative and fun with the names, as I find it a very enjoyable experience to be, yet  Trapezius' Quirk has its own page, and the creator didn't even bother to use something like "Strength Enhancement"? I know it’s a very broad Quirk type and finding a thousand different ways to say Super Strength can be annoying, and it was used in the anime in a more apparent manner than the ones I've listed, but this doesn't feel like it should have its own page if the one's I listed don't.

Finally, and I am fully aware that this does seem unreasonable of me, but I wasn't ever informed of the choice to remove the pages. I mean I understand that at the end of the day, I don't really have a huge say in the matter, but I would have liked to have been informed. There was plenty of time and plenty of times I updated the wiki to be informed. A message on my wall would have been enough.

This may be personal preference, but I would prefer the Quirks I added to have their own pages, as I feel that the background Quirks deserve just as much prominence as ones that are front and centre. It helps to show off the world that the characters live in, and gives us a better idea of just how varied Quirks can be.
