That is true.

I think what he meant was that technically we don't really have confirmation for some of the minor character's gender. So they're not important to add in. Unless otherwise stated in the original version of the manga.

I agree with you on the linking. That's what I originally meant, but writing this got boring really fast. So there are parts that may seem glossed over.

Tenses, for deceased characters it doesn't really make sense to me that way. I see it as their story is over so everything should reflect that. That being said, I feel that should be done with minor characters that have small pages. Like Mr. and Mrs. Ackerman, or deceased characters from any of the prequels.

I hadn't really been thinking about their placement on the page. As they had always been at the top so I assumed they would stay there. I was thinking more about how the categories appear at the bottom. Though their order isn't important, it was more of a stylistic suggestion that might make it appear more organized. At least for those specifically editing such pages.

I want to reiterate, my suggestions are in orange. So all the other stuff is a vague description of what I saw when looking at those pages.

As for individual anime episodes, I'm not exactly sure what you think people are linking for. And as always, I can only base my suggestions on how I would use or look at things. And I would personally prefer to watch the anime again rather than read it. (I have been thinking about rewatching it just to see more Levi v_v) But I can see somewhat of a downside to this when it comes to editing. I recently editted Mrs. Ackerman's page, and was trying to make sure the info was correct for the anime. I started the video and was instantly hit with an ad. :/

Character appearance section, I agree, major changes should certainly go there. And character's like Eren, titan shifters, do need more space than others to descibe that. That's why I like the idea of the full body picture, for characters like him, despite it being just them in their uniform. Or possibly better, is there a full body picture of their titan form similar to the full body picture of their uniform? That might be a better description picture, then we could just make pages based on the different military clothing.

I'm not sure about getting rid of the image gallery completely, one piece's gallery idea is nice. I only have one suggestion for it. Instead of keeping it like it is, we should find a way to make it collapsible. So many images loading up at a time may be difficult for users who don't have a decent internet connection. And considering when Wikia has problems we also have problems, it might make things even worse. Though technically regardless of what we do, it will still only showcase images that we think are cool.

Relevant to the series sure, but an example of each personality quirk is far too much. That's kind of the point for referencing. I only suggest that to shrink it down we take out examples and replace them with citations of each point.

I haven't checked all, but some history sections are far too long for the little bit of info they provide. Eren being a prime example, his history section is just a recount of almost an entire chapter. Or for the anime, an entire flashback. For no apparent reason other than to take up space

I agree and disagree, the story sections are quite long especially for characters like Eren, it's literally walls of text with a picture here and there. I'm not saying we should add more pictures, because that might cause more problems in the end. But I do think chapters for more popular characters can be shortened. There is literally two arcs on Eren's page right now that has at least 9 really long paragraphs. With the last arc having the longer paragraphs. So I sort of agree with your point for a paragraph per chapter. But I suggest for characters that feature a lot, instead doing an average when it comes to pictures. i.e. Eren needs two paragraphs for a chapter so just one picture of the most important thing in that chapter. I'd rather not write out detailed responses between characters in the way that you descibed. I feel it would certainly make the page unnecessarily long. Not to say Pixis' response wouldn't be important, but I feel it could be written in a way that didn't seem like we were writing the manga word for word; but still staying true to providing accurate material.

I agree with your quote's suggestion. I have no problem with there being quotes here and there. But once you start adding like 20 quotes, you start to water down the meaning of each quote as well as the reason for placing it on the page. I just wanna suggest with quotes, regardless of where we place it, a space should be added to further separate it from the rest of the text. Or do something to make it stand out more.

After that the rest is just vague observation of what we're already doing. I wanna add that I like the free feel to things in the miscellaneous section. Which is pretty much objects, specific titans, horses, and stuff. There was something else I wanted to add, but I forgot. Maybe I'll remember later.
