Erin Hunter has talked about the upcoming 9th arc, called Changing Skies, and has introduced the new character, Moonpaw. Mewtubecat (talk) 23:11, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

That's already mentioned in the article. Blubewwy (talk) 00:03, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

If you're asking for Changing Skies to be added to the lead section of the article, the reason it's not in there yet is because it's not released yet. Blubewwy (talk) 18:26, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Looking towards the ‘Dark Forest’ mention

Starclan is mentioned being cat ‘Heaven’ and so ideally, the Dark Forest should be mentioned as ‘Cat Hell’ to show the notable differences between the two. Cranberry3456 (talk) 09:29, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

@Cranberry3456 That is a good point. I've added it to the article. Blubewwy (talk) 17:26, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
I also agree there needs to be a more noticeable distinction Babybear3.14 (talk) 17:31, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
Scratch that(I'm the same person who wrote this reply to the og) I feel like there CAN'T be a more noticeable distinction. There have been multiple occurrences where they had described The Dark Forest as the opposite of Starclan, and you seem to know that Starclan is heaven. ~2026-17293-67 (talk) 21:01, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

Characters and their descriptions

I feel like there should be a spot on this article to describe some of the prevalent cats in the series? For instance, Fireheart/Firestar appears in more than 2 arcs but isn't given a good description, besides explaining that he is a house cat. No idea what the requirements would be, but i feel that it should be added. SuperSillyGuy (talk) 16:53, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

That might risk becoming fancruft, particular with this page, which is more of a general overview of the entire Warriors series. It's already somewhat bogged down with lists, and there doesn't need to be more list-like information. There is already a brief physical description of Fireheart on the Into the Wild article. pillowcrow 18:31, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
@SuperSillyGuy The page already has a "See also" notation for the List of Warriors characters article, which contains many character descriptions. That article in and of itself is already pretty fancruft-y, so that sort of content really should be kept from leaking into other Warriors-related articles as well. Blubewwy (talk) 22:57, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
Firestar is already given a big description in the first book. Babybear3.14 (talk) 17:33, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

add an article on prophicies if there is not one.

I have not run into any articles about prophices and i think it would be a decent article to add. If this is meant to give a small overview than adding a little bit about prophices could help people understand what they mean. TheWarriorsfan (talk) 19:08, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

The "setting and universe "section mentions omens ,should it also mention prophices. i need some options TheWarriorsfan (talk) 00:02, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
@TheWarriorsfan Individual prophecies are not notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia. They are far too niche and specific to the series to be helpful to anyone who is just trying to get a baseline understanding of the series, therefore they should not be put in any articles that already exist, either. If you want to write about more specific Warriors-related things, go to the Warriors Wiki over on Fandom. Blubewwy (talk) 20:19, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

Spottedleaf's Honest Answer

Obviously Warriors' Wish is gone for good and has been for over a decade at this point, but I feel like it'd be more helpful to cite one of the many mirrors than to leave the Warriors' Wish link as a permanent dead link, no?

Adding some sort of legacy/cultural impact section, perhaps as a subsection of the reception section, or as its own standalone section

This would be quite nice. Here's a source I found: It also mentions how warriors is related to Wings of Fire. There are definitely more independent sources detailing what the books' themes, impacts, reception, etc., is. That was something to work on according to the last GA review. Sorry for adding such a long title to this section; I will try to work on adding what i listed here. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 20:59, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

@Nikkimaria: Pinging you because you reverted my change adding an external link.

I understand that the global consensus is not to include external links to open wikis - sort of. ELNO, which you cited, states: "Open wikis, except those with a substantial history of stability and a substantial number of editors". (bold mine)

This is the sort of issue that can only be resolved by consensus and I don't think there are going to be enough editors to form consensus here. But in my opinion, the link should be added. The Warriors Wiki has existed since 2006 and still has a large number of editors (over 100 recently active editors). The wiki does seem stable, though that is more difficult to tell than the "substantial number of editors" bit. Also, this external link does improve the article because it provides another source of information which goes into more detail than what Wikipedia does. So, I think it would be useful to include, and if the guidelines say not to, that's not necessarily an issue.

(also, I noticed you do a lot of external link removing. Per WP:ELBURDEN, I won't re-add it now, but if you don't see this/don't reply within a while I'll just go ahead and re-add it if that's okay). --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 18:42, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

I think this particular link is actually approaching linkvio status with the extent of the non-free material it includes. I don't think re-adding it is a good idea, given that. Nikkimaria (talk) 23:52, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I have never done a GA review before, so please be patient with me. I was a huge fan of Warriors as a kid, so I am excited to help bring the article to GA status. The article is pretty long and there are quite a few sources (which is good), so I will need some time to check all of that. I will try to have some initial comments in a couple days so you have a chance to make improvements while I am working though. Ajheindel (talk) 22:45, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi Ajheindel! Thanks for taking on the review. It is fine to take your time; this is a long article, and I am not in a hurry at all. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 15:32, 7 March 2026 (UTC)


The list here represents my current analysis, I think there are few things that should be fixed. I will put a list of comments, feel free to discuss under each one. Let me know if you have questions!

  1. Well-written:
  2. Verifiable with no original research:
  3. Broad in its coverage:
  4. Neutral:
  5. Stable:
  6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:

Well-written

Overall I think things look good, just a few things that are awkward that could use a slight rewrite.

  • At the end of the lead, the sentence Warriors has received praise from reviewers, for example for its immersive world, but also criticism, for example for its large number of characters. is a bit awkward.
Replaced with "Warriors has received mixed reviews from critics". This is simpler so hopefully less awkward. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 20:50, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
  • At Origins and Erin Hunter, it is written with a lot of short disjointed sentences that could be rewritten to flow better.
Trimmed a bit of information and rearragned the rest to sort of flow like this: chronology -> writing process -> (new paragraph) current state of the writing process and why it's changed. Is it better like this? --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 14:46, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
I read through and it looks good now. Ajheindel (talk) 23:47, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

Verifiable with no original research

  • In the lead it is written The novels have a variety of themes, from politics to religion and economics. Warriors has been translated into 38 languages,[1] and has sold over 80 million copies worldwide.[2] While I don't doubt the the 80 million copies sold number, per WP:EXCEPTIONAL I think it should be sourced by a non-primary source. I did some digging and I can't find anything for 80 million that isn't primary, but I have found two secondary sources that say lower numbers .
I've added the Variety source, reliable per WP:VARIETY. I don't trust the bleedingcool source, the description of Warriors seems to be WP:CIRCULAR: adapted slightly from the lead in September 2025 --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 20:42, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
  • In the Website section, the provided sources are of the actual official website locations, and I think this is okay considering the nature of the content. The website has changed since the sources were added and they all pipe back to the home page. This section should probably be rewritten to reflect to current state, or the current links should be changed to include archive links.
Info about the website in the past could be useful to the reader so I kept that and added archives. For some reason the cat maker doesn't appear to load on the wayback machine, but the url is not a dead link so an archive is not necessary. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 20:18, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
  • In the Short stories section, the part On 20 January 2009, another short story, "The Clans Decide", was released on the Warriors Ultimate Leader Election site, starring Firestar, who won an election through an online fan vote conducted in recognition of US President Obama's Inauguration Day.[3] is cited by just the screenplay, which doesn't verify the information.
Did a quick search and couldn't find anything to verify this. Removed. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 20:50, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
This has since been re-added by Blubewwy, but without the information that isn't found in the source. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 20:18, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
I think it is fine now. Ajheindel (talk) 23:49, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
  • In the Plays section, there are a couple issues. Firstly, the first paragraph is only cited by the screenplay, which doesn't include anything expect the plot. Maybe something can be found digging through the archive, otherwise it should probably be removed. The second paragraph also has some issues. The archive link didn't show anything, so I replaced it with a valid one. The reference of the screenplay doesn't appear to work either, maybe an archive link could be added.
I've found this for the first paragraph: However I don't think it's reliable as warriorswish.net appears to be a fan site. Removed the first paragraph and fixed the second. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 07:26, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
Blubewwy has since reinserted a mention of After Sunset with less content. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 20:18, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
I think this is fine. Ajheindel (talk) 23:52, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

Suggestion

This is probably beyond the GA level, but in my opinion the Standalones section is a bit cumbersome. Considering the rate they have been written, the list will continue to grow over time. Maybe it would be good to add a {{Book list}} or {{Graphic novel list}} to organize it better.

There's been some back and forthing over this. Before the last GA review, the article used a table to list standalones. Unexpectedlydian (the reviewer) wrote: Whilst it specifically refers to works published by the subject of an article, the manual of style for layout prefers a "bulleted list, usually ordered chronologically". Blubewwy changed it to a bulleted list afterwards. I will look at the templates and see if it makes the layout better. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 09:53, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
Started a discussion here to try to fix this issue. Using the templates doesn't fundamentally fix that there's a gargantuan list of books, even if it would make it better to look at. So, now it's a matter of waiting for editors to participate in discussion. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 19:50, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

@Ajheindel: Article has now been split. I believe all the issues have been addressed, but if you have any further suggestions do let me know. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 20:26, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

Kate Cary's departure

Do we have a date on which she announced the departure or at least a year where the left the team?

The article currently just says 21 years, which is pretty vague (off the top of my head, Warriors started in 2001 so that would mean 2022 or 2023, but it definitely has to be more recent than that given she wrote Star.)

~ rusty meow ~ 00:13, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Note that the Warriors Wiki cites Cary's Instagram (November 4th, 2024), but we can't cite that. ~ rusty meow ~ 00:15, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
@Rusty Cat As far as I'm aware, the only times dates were ever mentioned for her departure were just in the Instagram posts. There is this interview, but it does not have a date, just the 21 years statistic. Blubewwy (talk) 00:46, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
If the Warriors website article had a date of writing, we could do some basic maths to figure out the date (allowed). But it doesn't, because for some reason the Warriors website enjoys making maintainable referencing difficult. Per WP:SOCIALMEDIA citing Instagram or other social medias isn't outright disallowed, but should be limited to Cary's article or where it's absolutely necessary. FWIW there's a twitter post by Kate Cary currently cited in this article and I think that's okay. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 07:47, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
@Not-cheesewhisk3rs: I had the idea of using Archive.org to narrow down the date of the announcement, but I'm not sure how well that'd work out.
Yeah, if we have no other choice we could cite the social media post. ~ rusty meow ~ 14:13, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
@Rusty Cat: Better not have a date at all than an unclear, vague or wrong date. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 17:27, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Split proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The bulleted list of works in the Standalones section, and other places in the article, is too long. I propose making a page titled List of Warriors books which can list the books, including main sub-series (hatnoted where an article for the sub-series exists; linked where an article on an individual novel exists), all of the Standalones (Super Editions, graphic novels, mangas, novellas, etc.), and the section Short stories. I believe this list is notable: there have been multiple sources which have covered the books , including a RS which published a list of the main novels . As suggested in the latest GA review, templates like {{Book list}} and {{Graphic novel list}} can organise the books, in the list.

Some advantages:

1) It would make the main article easier to read and navigate.

2) It would allow for writing about reception and interpretations of novels and other Warriors books which aren't notable for a standalone article, but could be covered briefly in the list. This would also avoiding crowding up the Reception section, which can't feature all the reception every reliable source has ever written about Warriors.

There is a disadvantage: The list would need proper maintenance to prevent WP:FANCRUFT, but this is done well at List of Warriors characters, as evidenced in the article history. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 19:43, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

I think this is a good solution, essentially what the anime and manga community does for episode lists when they clutter up the page too much. Ajheindel (talk) 22:37, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
Support per nom. I do have a question:
  • {{book list}} and related templates have a space for a summary; if we used these templates, would we add a plot summary for the books that currently don't have one, such as the novellas?
Nevertheless, this is a good idea, and I think that if we are to write articles for more arcs and books in the future, putting plot summaries on the articles would be a good idea, because they could serve as a starting point for any new articles. ~ rusty meow ~ 22:59, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
I'd say yes. The plot summaries shouldn't be too long though. MOS:NOVELPLOT recommends 400 to 700 words for standalone works, and I think writing plot summaries in 400 words maximum is possible for this list. You gave the novellas as example: those shouldn't be too difficult to write plot summaries of, as they are very short. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 07:46, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

        • That's from 2018. Are there any sources which describe this planned project in the past couple of years? If there aren't, in my experience, it means the project was quietly dropped. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:17, 2 April 2026 (UTC)
          • See #Film - the idea has been revisited as of 2024, in a different format. It's unclear what the final product will be, which is why I didn't try to submit a DYK about David Heyman producing it, it being similar to Paddington, or stuff like that which is cited in the section. Information like that would most likely be out of date, since the idea has changed. However a plan for a film has existed since 2016. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 14:16, 2 April 2026 (UTC)
            • I'm not convinced that we can describe seemingly-unrelated projects from half a decade apart as part of a continual plan. Other promoters may disagree, but I won't be promoting this. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:18, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
              • Ok, I understand that. How about ALT2 ...that a movie adaptation of Warriors was planned to have David Heyman as producer? This is sourced to . --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 15:07, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
ALT2 is not interesting unless a reader knows who Heyman is. Maybe another angle is needed here. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:06, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
@Narutolovehinata5: What do you mean by another angle? A hook that's not about the failed movie?--not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 07:38, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
In this case, a hook that is not about Heyman or his involvement. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:15, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
Alright. How about ALT3 "... that Warriors was planned to be adapted into a "live-action film with computer-generated characters"?" This is cited in The Hollywood Reporter, and in the article. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 09:02, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
Normally I would say it's fine, but given how CGI isn't exactly uncommon in movies these days, it's not really unusual anymore, at least as currently written. Since this is a novel series, maybe Lajmmoore can help out with ideas? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:18, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
Thanks for the ping - what an interesting article. Here's a couple of suggestions:
ALT4 ...that the range of characters in a fantasy novel series about cats was compared to that of a Greek drama?Rawlins, Sharon (1 October 2003). "Forest of Secrets". School Library Journal. Vol. 49, no. 10. p. 167. This exciting book is not for the faint of heart as it is often violent [...] It is reminiscent of Greek drama, with its huge cast of characters [maybe could be tightened?]
ALT5 ... that fans of a fantasy novel series about cats post their own animations based on it to YouTube? Reuben, Emily (3 May 2019). "How the 'Warrior Cats' fan animation scene affected one of its biggest and youngest creators". Ball State Daily.
ALT6 ... that "political intrigue, religious warfare, forbidden love, and violent cat death" are described as themes in a fantasy novel series about cats? Ahlin, Charlotte (20 June 2016). "10 Reasons We Loved The "Warriors" Series As Kids". Bustle.
These are just bits that stood out to me, feel free to adjust/etc. Lajmmoore (talk) 17:12, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
Another suggestion (ALT7): "...that fans of a fantasy novel series about cats create video games based off of it programmed in Scratch?" Resnick, Mitchel; Robinson, Ken (28 August 2018). Lifelong Kindergarten: Cultivating Creativity through Projects, Passion, Peers, and Play. MIT Press. pp. 45–46. doi:10.7551/mitpress/11017.001.0001. ISBN 978-0-262-34434-0. But I'm not sure if that has enough broadness. Otherwise I quite like ALT4. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 07:02, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Greek drama

This isn't our problem, as such, but the review comment about Greek drama having a "huge cast of characters" is very odd. Greek dramas, famously (well, relatively), had a maximum of three speaking actors and usually a single-digit number of dramatis personae. I'd suggest rewording a bit: we can say that they compared it to a Greek drama and highlighted its large cast of characters, for example: we don't necessarily need to reproduce their error.

Is it too late to change this? --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 16:53, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
The DYK hook doesn't need changing -- it's technically true, and that level of context isn't really needed there -- and the article can be changed at any time. UndercoverClassicist T·C 19:47, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

In subsection [Changing SKies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warriors_(novel_series)#Warriors:_Changing_Skies_(2025%E2%80%93)) change


Warriors: Changing Skies is the ninth sub-series, consisting of The Elders' Quest ...


to


Warriors: Changing Skies is the ninth sub-series, consisting of six books: The Elders' Quest ...


to match the first sentence of the above subsections Σ-Βαιιζ (talk) 18:59, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

 Not done: Not sure it's necessary to say "consisting of six books" in each case, but since the other subsections use that phrasing I'll go with it for now. Day Creature (talk) 19:10, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
