A new VTuber has recently come out (Like, really recent. He debuted two weeks ago.), Yugane, whose Avatar is made to evoke the Giant Mecha genre (Notably "Getter Robo", the "Brave Series, and the designs of legendary Mehca Designer Masami Obari). I would like to humbly ask for him to be added onto this Wiki, either via his own page or in the "List of minor Vtubers" page.

I have written an RFC (Request For Comments) about the potential reform of protection policies. It may influence your editing rights! Please participate and contribute your thoughts.
More info on the RFC page: VTuber Wiki:Protection policy reform RFC
Key dates: The RFC will close at 23:59, 20 October 2020 (UTC).
What is the reference desk?
It is a centralized database of research questions not directly related to The Virtual YouTuber Wiki itself.
It is a research portal made to help you find materials.
Access it here!
Problem statement
What people say about using The Virtual YouTuber Wiki as a “research tool”
Want to do research but the wiki has less relevant information than the VTuber’s Twitter bio.
Last time I checked it was quite barren.
VTuber X is not on the wiki so a name means nothing to me.
Under the current system,
Readers can’t get their research questions answered due to low article quality.
Readers may feel intimidated to ask research questions here because we have more administrative affairs on the discussion board.
Research questions appear in comment sections and are poorly indexed.
There is not a single place for posting research questions.
Discussion posts are not searchable on site.
How about forming an “article rescue squad”?
We are yet to build a sustainable community. A handful of contributors stay on this wiki after their first edits.
Editing has a long feedback cycle. Answering questions does not require the same level of involvement.
To form an ARS, you need experts in very specific domains. We don’t have frequent contributors for non-Hololive-Nijisanji areas.
Nevertheless, the ARS is what we need to do in the long-term.
How will you prevent the reference desk from becoming the (n+1)-th place for asking questions?
The reference desk is a centralized database. It so happens that questions are accepted there.
I will compile research questions from various sources and mirror the answers.
How is our reference desk different from Wikipedia’s reference desk?
Original research: At our reference desk, original research is allowed and encouraged.
Permanent linking: We will implement a numbering system, so that each question will have a permanent link to it.
Improved locality: By taking advantage of permanent linking, we can move questions around for the sake of structure without losing the references to them.
Archive only when appropriate: Wikipedia’s automatic archiving is excessive — less active desks may have one question per archive page. The VTuber Wiki community is smaller, so it is doable to archive old questions manually.
Scope: Wikipedia’s desks have questions that are too broad and cannot be addressed wholly. This wiki, however, is limited to VTuber-related content and discussions.
Moderation: Wikipedia does not have dedicated moderators. We have content moderators who can point out issues and close any silly questions.
Numbering system
Don’t worry about numbering if you are posting a question. A moderator will put the numbers in.
Format 1: Month.Counter
Question 8.1. What does this app do?
Question 8.2. Is A retired?
Question 8.2b. Is B retired?
Question 8.2c. What happened to C?
Format 2: Month.Section.Counter
Question 8.1.1. What does this app do?
Question 8.2.1. Is A retired?
Question 8.2.2. Is B retired?
Question 8.2.3. What happened to C?
How we are/I am doing it
We invite you to become a host. To follow the reference desk, go to the page and click on “Follow” at the bottom of your screen.
Administrators, please consider linking the page under the drop-down menus.
The reference desk is currently on my user page. Unfortunately, it contains a “noindex,nofollow” directive, making it unlisted from search engines.
Eventually (no later than November), the reference desk will be moved under the “VTuber Wiki” namespace to facilitate indexing.
New guidelines will be made in accordance with real-world usage, not “for the sake of it.”
Please discuss any issues related to the proposal.
If the wiki counts pre-existing characters like Hatsune Miku and various Western Vtubers, wouldn't Rick and Morty be eligible for a page? Not sure if their singular Fallout 76 playthrough counts though.
Hi, can any moderator tell me if this illustration (https://twitter.com/Himesaki_yuzuru/status/1271019347155267584?s=20) by Himesaki Yuzuru is too nsfw to put in her gallery?
> Attention: In the next few weeks, we are migrating your community and all of its content onto new wiki software. Find out more in this blog post.
All you need to know is that The Virtual YouTuber Wiki will become read-only for a brief time period.
The table at the bottom of all vtubers under Cover needs updating to include Hololive Gen 5 but I don't change it so it would be great if someone else could do it. Included a picture of it in case my explanation of it was too vague
I was doing some research to update Utai Makea's page, when I discovered these 2 channels:
Utai Itsumi (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk1qKLPaznd5gnKms-2XHaA) and Utai Asme (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5YTIcyZ_lstc3FstTX4acA)
They both have more than 20k followers, and thus respect the relevancy criteria, yet they're not in the "Female Vtubers" list.
After Kaoru's retirement is the 3rd generation Holostars still called "TriNero"?
I want to make sure before I edit and fix things.
The poll still remain 2017 and 2018. I think we shall change it soon. but since 2019 2020 has so much vtuber debut at that date. I think we suggest to change the poll limit to one company per poll. like Hololive poll , Nijisanji poll (independent poll as well)
Hey im new here nice too meet you all. I recently in 2 month into vtuber and have some questions. Hope you guys can help.
My first question is there some site dedicated for vtuber activity?, the reason is i don't understand Japanese and i don't have time to learn it because i need to work 50+ hour a week to make living and i feel bad for always asking people about vtuber news and what they're doing in their livestream hope you guys can help me this.
My second question is can someone tell me about the case of hitomi crhris ex hololive?. The reason is i asking about this in hololive wiki and the mod always delete my post without explaination when i said i only wanted to know to the mod they don't answer me and only ignore me. It's pretty sad because it's always bugging me
Hope you guys can help me with this two question????♂️
This is totally minor, but is it ok to 'deduce' the Vtuber's zodiac sign from their birth date, even if they don't specify it? Does it count as superfluous information?
These 2 characters are dangerously similar.

Shizune Sora is designed in a contest called LisPon. The results are published here: (Official Pixiv announcement, timestamped 25 May 2018) https://www.pixiv.net/info.php?id=4612
Isora Manami debuted on 15 August 2018.
According to this blog article on GREE's website ( https://corp.gree.net/jp/ja/news/blog/2018/08/03.html ), the name Manami (真実) is a synonym of "reality." In other words, the Virtual YouTuber's name has something to do with promoting GREE's streaming app, REALITY.
Apparently, the characters name was changed from Shizune Sora to Isora Manami.
A Japanese blogger who goes by Muno raised a similar question: https://www.migusu.com/entry/2018/08/03/214853
However, I could not find any official text that mentions the name change. Should I merge these 2 pages?
Just voicing my opinion, but isn't it better to merge Suisei with the rest of "3d talents" and rename it to "non-gen"/"0th gen" in the "Hololive" page? I mean it looks neater to categorize the members based on generations only rather than mixing it with used model (2d/3d) categorization.
Also for the Hololive external link template, I think it's better to split the 1st and 2nd gen of HololiveCN into separate section, just like the one in "Hololive" page (modified template also included the change of Suisei's section merge with the "3d talents" part).
I just added a new article for a VTuber Fumi from Nijisanji. I'm very new to all this, but I'll be hopefully adding more content later soon. If anything is wrong, let me know. If I'm not mistaken, she meets the current notability standard.
I also updated the Nijisanji page to include the link to the new page.
Hello, would it be alright for me to add, overtime, basic infos on (mostly Nijisanji) male Vtubers? It won't be much, but it will be more than none.
Supposedly, before Chris debuted, she asked a person, unknown to the english community, to buy some very expensive equipment for her, worth around 70,000 Yen. During the audition, she removed the person from her contacts and threatened to call the police if he continued to contact her. She also did not return the equipment nor pay the person back. Later, after her audition, said person began to post evidence about his involvement in Chris' audition by posting their chat logs and her audition video online. This infuriated Chris who threatened legal action against him. The drama quickly spiraled out of control when the person leaked her personal information. This exposure made hololive end Chris' contract.<ref>[https://bbs.nga.cn/read.php?tid=18824480 ［被埋没的］正视历史，才能避免悲剧重演——关于人見クリス]</ref>
