So I'm just trying to figure out what your main point is, and it appears to be that the pages are too long? Since you are seemingly ok with Gunthers (Which was a base point that Miskos established and I jumped off from) due to his fewer appearances. We again return to the idea of subjectivity, you may not like the detailed summaries but others may find them very nice. Wikis, especially ones revolving around an active story, require a lot of information and by their nature are going to be long. The story contains a lot of information and we have a duty to convey to people that information. If we are not meant to do this then what purpose do we have? People could just read the manga.

Or, they could come here and easily scan through the simple model we have now to find out what Pixis said to Erwin. "When someone reads the page of a character, they just want to know what that character does, not what other characters are chatting." Firstly, I don't think we should be making grand declarations about what people want. Secondly, I think this statement only leads down a bad path. The meeting Levi had with his squad was exceptionally important to someone like Sasha even though they may not have said anything. It allows people to feel like her, to understand her character better in a detailed environment. When people read the Uprising Arc for Eren, I like to believe they know everything about that character and they can feel his struggle, they are Eren. Whereas in the Manga, the portions with Eren are divided among other things and it can be hard to keep track of what Eren knows.

It's not 'tedious' it conveys information well. Just providing a general description of what happened on a character page is the work of a TV Guide Description, not the encyclopaedia of the entire series. I believe people want to know what Erwin said and how Pixis responded, how he felt and reacted. And yes, our job is not to replace the mange it is to supplement it. Digging through 40+ pages with no ctrl+f is tedious, and to me, it represents wasted time for someone just looking for a quick statement or quote.

I believe our work needs to be able to answer any question that any person has about the Attack on Titan series, no exceptions.
