This is an ongoing discussion about changing something about Blooncyclopedia. It must reach a consensus before being implemented.
Deadline: Friday, 29 May 2026 at 23:59 UTC

I would like to propose the idea of allowing the creation of pages for widespread trends/memes that are related to the Bloons franchise. I think that their preservation is important and would be well received by the community. In my opinion the creation of 5 - 7 pages a year dedicated to memes/trends wouldn't pollute the Blooncyclopedia and it would even benefit from it. These pages would also provide a way for newer/causal players to quickly grasp what is currently going on in the community.

Support the idea of trend/meme preservation

  1. I think it's a good idea to have these pages so new players can get a quick explanation of these themes. Bloon (talk)
  2. I think there should be a page with all the memes/trends, I think this is okay because the strategy pages aren't official, and have some things made by bloons players, but what do I know, I'm a beginner wiki editor. 4D Hyper Glitch (talk)

  1. As much as I like memes and share them myself, I don't think this is the correct place to "preserve" them. This is a wiki dedicated to documenting the franchise, not necessarily its community and opening up community power like the Fandom wiki did would make this wiki so much less quality imo. We already have a reputation for being "empty but reliable", our problem we should be focusing on at the moment is making more reliable pages on the aspects of the franchise we haven't covered thoroughly yet. We shouldn't be swaying from our stated goal just to "be well received by the community".

Also, what exactly counts as "widespread" anyways? Are we just going off of popularity on Reddit, what about other platforms? --Planterror (talk) 22:48, 15 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

  1. I don't think this is a good idea. This wiki's goal is for people to get questions answered or to provide documentation. Memes and trends do not do either of these things. It would also be way too much of a hassle to do and would divert time from the large amount of pages that are still bot generated or stubs. Overclockbtd (talk) 00:04, 16 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Fandom Bloons Wiki exists for collections of Bloons stuff. Qwertyxp2000 (talk) 03:21, 16 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
