I meant no offence Locket, I was only trying to demonstrate that the AoT wiki can become like that in my experience here. Yes, you're right we can decide our own workload but I don't think we need to spend it on what could be considered a pointless debate. You can never find uniformity with a list of minor characters and thus, on the off-chance people do care, you're going to be having countless debate about it. Then, you're going to have to tell someone that Goggles is a minor character and their opinion is just invalid. I don't want us to work that way.

I have got nothing against trying something new, change is a part of life. I'm against rushing into changes when the debate is ongoing as Manuel is frequent to do, and I'm against changes that are divisive and likely to lead to more conflict.

And herein we have the core problem, people disagree about the meaning of a 'Minor Character'. Why do you think every character has a page on the other Anime/Manga wikis, because it isn't their job to decide who is not important. My favourite character is Erwin Smith, and it's not the job of a wiki to inform people that he is 'less important' then someone else. Our job is to convey information. That you consider deceased characters to be minor is baffling to me when you think of someone like Hannes, who greatly impacted the story. Also, you apparently have some idea of characters becoming minor as time goes on? I think that is a bad idea and has all the problems I've laid out, doubled.
