Personally I think that any and all articles wherein we can expect or already have a large amount of content (major characters, characters who are expected to be major later, etc) should go without the padding. And perhaps instituting Octo's idea of if an article exceeds a certain number of lines it should be pruned back to the essentials.

Detail is nice, but the point of a wiki isn't to write down a series in its entirety for an audience who doesn't have easy access to it. It's to collect information and guide people through the series if they don't have enough time or patience to look through the actual content. There are people working on translations, including people on the wiki (the Daughter of Evil manga springs to mind). If anyone wants to look into those details then they can check out the translations.

It's just like. A series as large as this needs an easy to digest guide and it's not getting it if the only guide available is trying to recount every single thing that happened.
