Talk:List of characters

Character
I have a question? Shouldn't Dot Pixis, Rico Brzenska, Kitts Verman, Anka Rheinberger, and Gustav color be red because they belong to Stationary Guard. Because the color yellow don't represent anything. So could you please change it to make it correct.Jennicious (talk) 07:53, October 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * It was red, but some really funny chap changed it to orange.  h fc 2 X  15:11, October 7, 2013 (UTC)

New Section: Spinoffs
To help with clutter and maybe streamline things, maybe separate the 'Others' folder so all the characters from Prequels could be grouped together?

Or perhaps further group them with Before the Fall characters together and A Choice characters together?

Just my two cents. --Harostar (talk) 09:24, May 15, 2014 (UTC)

To be honest, I've already been thinking about the spin-offs; the problem is that nobody here (me included) cares enough to give them the same amount of attention as the main series so what we are left with is empty articles, there's no point in having links to characters in this list if all it leads to is an article full of nothing.

So here's the deal: Every spin off will get only 3 pages.
 * 1) An overview of the series
 * 2) A list of chapters (volumes) with a very brief summary
 * 3) A list of characters, again, with very brief descriptions

That way, we will have at least something about the spin offs and, at the same time, it won't be too taxing on our time and effort.

Thoughts? 09:44, May 15, 2014 (UTC)

That sounds reasonable, for sure. Things may change once stuff begins getting released officially, but it seems other than Levi's spinoff, people just aren't that interested. --Harostar (talk) 10:39, May 15, 2014 (UTC)

IMO it looks weird that spinoff characters are classifed as "others" despite their affliations with above groups. Considering background characters from the main series that no-one really cares about are included there as well... Kiataryu 12:15, April 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * This was an old discussion started by members who are no longer active. But it's certainly something I've been thinking about editing. Just gotta find where I put the code I was working on for it. EternalLocket (talk) 16:12, April 9, 2015 (UTC)

Update
The page is not updated. Some characters, like Reiner and Ymir, are still alive and yet their status is "unknown". I think it should be noted, thank you! LukeAzzariti (talk) 22:02, October 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * That's right; we don't know if Ymir is alive, but Reiner and Bertolt certainly are. I'm going to update it. Thanks for the info. :)--Manuel de la Fuente (talk) 22:13, October 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much! Also I think Samuel's status is unknown. LukeAzzariti (talk) 22:14, October 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yep, that's right too. It's corrected now. Please let us know if you find another error. You can also edit the articles yourself if you like, but if you have problems editing the templates we can do it for you. :)--Manuel de la Fuente (talk) 22:29, October 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I'll do whatever it takes to help improving. LukeAzzariti (talk) 22:30, October 11, 2015 (UTC)

Change
Hey guys! In my opinion is reduntant to specify they're from the 104th Trainees Squad or Survey Squad because the subtitle says where they're from. Instead of using the color to identify the squads why don't we simply use the green for alive, red for deceased and purple for unknown? Or if you want to make it stay this way, Eren is now part of the Survey Squad so he should be colored blue. What do you think about this?LukeAzzariti (talk) 00:03, December 3, 2015 (UTC)


 * For your first suggestion, I personally like some of the colors the way they are; but that could just be me. We could always bring it up in the forums and see what others think.


 * As for the second one; even though Eren, and most of the rest of the 104th, are in the Survey Corps, separating them into the other branches may make it harder for people to find them. For most of the first season, the focus has been on the 104 trainees. Placing them anywhere else would, in my opinion, water down that effect. Not to mention, the characters that would still be left in the section would leave only minor characters who died off within the first couple of episodes/chapters.


 * If anything was to change color-wise, I'd prefer it to be the Titans color, as well as how we display deceased characters. Because I feel red and dark red are too easy to mix up when looking at the Garrison section. But living Titans and deceased Titans seems even harder to distinguish if you're not paying close enough attention. EternalLocket (talk) 00:23, December 3, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your response! About your second point I didn't mean to move the character, I was thinking about leaving the character where they are (ex. Eren in the 104th T.S. section) but colored with their current squad (ex. Eren in blue).


 * I agree with your third point. It's really confusing the color of Garrison and the Titans themselves. What about changing the color of Garrison to orange, and of the Titans to black?LukeAzzariti (talk) 02:05, December 3, 2015 (UTC)


 * My bad, I hadn't thought of it that way. :o Hopefully, when the wiki is more active, we can see what people think of that.


 * If I'm not mistaken, the color for the Garrison, as well as the other two branches, is taken from the emblem on their backs. When you made your suggestion, I was actually thinking something along the lines of black or dark grey for all deceased characters. That way it would stand out in any of the sections. As for the Titans, all character pages should have navigation boxes on them. The color for the Titans navigation box is completely different from what's used on the characters page; mainly because they were made several years apart from each other. So if we used the color from their navigation box, it shouldn't be a problem visually. But I believe Manuel was thinking of making some changes to that page, so I haven't really done anything drastic to it. He is the better designer when it comes to making templates, so I was curious to see where he was going with it. EternalLocket (talk) 02:40, December 3, 2015 (UTC)


 * That's actually perfect, so we'll wait to hear Manuel's opinion. :)LukeAzzariti (talk) 02:45, December 3, 2015 (UTC)
