Template talk:MinorCharacterNav

This is definitely the most used navigational template. Since new episodes come out every week, it adds a bunch of new characters, and it's tough to update this. Wad dle   D33  21:08, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I was just thinking there might be a better way to classify the characters here. Also, do we really want to have the template include every single character, no matter how minor? Its not even complete now, and by season 2 it's probably going to get awkwardly large. --Cornprone 12:43, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe there could be a new template for each season, but I still think it will take up a lot of space. The only other idea I have is to make the links to the characters smaller, but that won't really help much. Wad  dle   D33  21:17, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

So we were discussing on my talk page ways to revamp this nav template. OK, so the problem is that the template is slowly becoming too cluttered and hard to read, right? My thought is, maybe really minor characters (for example Skeleton Baby or Video Game Girl) could be dropped from this template. The Minor character navbox should still remain on every character's page so people can navigate from there, but the navbox just wouldn't list every character. If people want a list of every single character, they can just look at Category:Characters anyway. Now as to which characters would be dropped from the nav, that would have to be a judgment call. The criteria I'd suggest would be if the character A.) Only appeared once and B.) Their appearance was very short and C.) They did not play an important role in the episode's plot, then they should be considered too minor to be included on the template. --Cornprone 00:56, August 8, 2010 (UTC)
