You throw senior member around, but you're only ahead of me by two months at most. I am aware of how much work a wiki can be with either just a few people working on it, or with people generally coming and going as they please. Just because it might turn into a lot of work doesn't mean we should shy away from it. As we're here by choice, it is up to each of us as individuals to decide what is and isn't too much work.

Your objections to most ideas, mostly only mentioned and never implemented, have come with a "the wiki will suffer greatly" attitude. It isn't a big deal to try something new, especially if the new thing is just the addition of a new category. The possibility that there may be backlash is not a reason to not do anything in general. It's impossible to move forward and never have anything negative happen.

Fact is, some characters are less important than others. That's just how it goes in any story. Like I said, if you've actually read any of Isayama's interviews; it sounds like some characters were made for the sole purpose of dying, sometimes at a specific time and/or place. Yes, some characters are a little more important than others. Regardless of whether we're deciding who is and isn't a minor character. But unfortunately, deceased characters will always be on some level a minor character. While their death may have had some impact on a living character, which should be noted at least in the living character's page. They are no longer able to contribute to the story, other than in flashbacks.

i.e. Marco will be even more of a minor character 5 more volumes down the road, dispite his death being part of the reason why Jean joined the Survey Corps.
