Current Plot

A section like that should not exist within the main article. C Ronald 04:46, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Maybe we should have a story arcs page. - STAREYe 18:24, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Any ideas for arc names? Eisenwald Arc could work, but what do we call the other three?- STAREYe 18:26, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Lemme read Fairy Tail up to the current chapter first :-P C Ronald 04:58, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Looks like someone has already put up a Story Arc page. Nice C Ronald 05:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

there should be a page about magic i can start one but some will have to make it better

External links

I've edited the links section to External links. Now it follows the format from the Naruto article. I'm not much of a fan of Naruto, but their article has a very good format, so I suggest we try to follow it for the rest of the article. C Ronald 04:58, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Magic Page

I think we should wait for that page till we have a lot more of information and chapters. For now the information will stay with the charactersCuttyflam 22:14, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Fairy Tail Template

What happened to the option edit of the template. It seems that I cannot access the page anymore, anyone of you got the same problem? Cuttyflam 13:09, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Fairy Tail Article

What is up with this article? It has practically no info and just redirects. Other pages shouldn't have more info than the main article of a manga. This needs to be reworked. Gune (talk) 20:02, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Official Names

Should these pages display just the names the scanners came up with, or should they also have the official names?132.170.31.180 (talk) 15:23, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

They should display official names. If you do that though you need evidence that they are indeed official and not made up. I had removed names somebody said were official because they didn't source anything. Gune (talk) 16:37, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

In the American Graphic Novels, published by DEL RAY they have stated that they get their translated names from the author himself. They state this in the 2nd volume.Discobird (talk) 03:30, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

As such, I've changed the names to the translation listed in the Del Rey novels. MOS dictates we go with the names listed in the English publication regardless, but these happen to be completely official. -Mr. Toto (talk) 20:09, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Fairy Tail Wiki

I've recently started a Fairy Tail Wiki over at Wikia and, since Wikipedia won't let me put the link on their page without permission, was wondering if you guys will do so for me. This isn't for advertising purposes, just to give attention to it and to those who would like to help work on it.

Heres the link: http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

It's still in construction as you can see but am hoping to expand on it little by little. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Retro7 (talk • contribs) 20:30, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Why not just paste and copy the imformation from the articles in Wikipedia into that Wikia,and later edit it? Or does that goes against the Terms Of Policy here in Wikipedia?AngelicMasterMind (talk) 22:50, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Wizards OR Mages??

Well i was wondering about this,what is the term to call a person with magical abilities in the Fairy Tail Universe?? I read the 2 Volumes released by Del Rey and all the other Chapters,scanlated by Fansites.But in Del Rey they only refer/call people by "Wizard" ,but in other sources, like the Scanlated versions of the Series done by those fansites,and like here in Wikipedia they refer/call people as "Mages" (Magicians).Iam not sure myself how big a difference is between Magicians and Wizards,but which term is more correct to describe Humans with Magic Powers in Fairy Tail??AngelicMasterMind (talk) 22:44, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'm looking at the first volume published in English, and the people are referred to as Wizards. I haven't caught the term witch anywhere yet, so I don't know. Either way we're going to go with the English, so we could probably change mages to wizards. ~ Hyakurei (talk) 23:49, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Redirects and merging

I'm looking at this article and it's currently classified as a stub. At this rate I don't think we should have that many links to other pages, until we expand on the main article. I think we could merge all or part of the other articles into the main one, and keep it that way until expansion. Any thoughts? Discuss any merging here please. ~ Hyakurei (talk) 23:54, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree in the sense that they were both split too soon, but at this point, both are far too long to be merged back in, so I would strongly oppose remerging them. And really, the splits alone aren't a good excuse for why this article is a stub (high level, to be sure, but still a stub). The problem is, unfortunately, one suffered by many articles: its mostly edited by fans who concentrate purely on things like characters and plot instead of the real-world info. So rather than worrying about trying to do a merge that isn't needed either, I'd say work on those sections that are lacking content and need work, starting with those real world sections like reception and media. If production info is available in the manga or articles, then that should also be added. See Tokyo Mew Mew for a good guideline on what's needed, tone, sourcing, order, etc. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 01:23, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

References

Should it be mentioned that fairy tail has lots of references to his other work Rave (eg. Plue, Zieg, TCM sword)? --109.110.26.67 (talk) 18:48, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Could we please have citation for it being based on Ine Piece. It seems very different to me, so I'm removing it for now. 59.86.176.202 (talk) 08:58, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Music section

I've made some pretty significant changes to the music section. I tried by best to clean up the English, which was a real chore, and I also changed some information about composers. The section originally stated that Yasuharu Takanashi only produced the two original soundtracks to the anime, while Edward Elgar and Sergei Rachmaninoff composed the music for them. This is completely not true. Edward Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance" appears in volume 1 of the soundtrack and is arranged by Takanashi, and Rachmaninoff's "Tower of Heaven ~ from Piano Concerto No.2 in C Minor Op.18" appears in volume 2 (and I don't know if this was arranged or not). Besides those and two other tracks in volume 2 arranged by two other people, Takanashi composed and produced ALL the music in the two soundtracks. Crediting composers whose works were arranged by a soundtrack's composer(s) is pretty nonstandard from what I've seen (that is, you generally won't see any sources listing a composer as a main credit when their work was simply arranged), so I've just removed all that information and credited Takanashi. If someone wants to add very detailed information about the music, just make sure to get it right. VGMdb has fairly detailed information about both of these soundtracks coming straight from the credits in their respective booklets, so check there before writing anything.
