That’s exactly what categories are for - organisation. We have categories and category pages (which are essentially lists of articles) in which we can have them organised alphabetically too.

And besides, them being stub doesn’t change anything. Many of you guys are saying they are stubs so they belong here, but come on. Does adding them to a single page somewhere make them “not stubs”. How does that change anything at all.

If someone wants to look up a particular comic-only character the person will look up their name. Why need they be greeted with every other comic character as well and have to scroll to find the one they want to read about? It absolutely doesn’t make sense.

And is there a end to this? As I said, someone will come up with the idea of another list. Undertown Characters, One-Time Characters, Non-canon Characters and so on. Then there will be a list of comics (as 95% of those are stubs too)

All we will end up doing is counterproductive. Destroying a well built network of articles into meaningless lists/super articles which are neither as convenient to end users nor easier for editors to edit nor helpful to the Wiki in any manner.

I repeat, categories are for organisation. Not these super articles. And making these does not help stubs in any way.

Blaziken was right. We should have kept positions for admins whose job is to check the end user’s experience and the editing job for a change. Even though he had stubbornly kept those places vacant, he was right about the need for such positions. For all the previous changes we tried our best to work out the user’s point of view, when implementing the tabs, the continuity templates etc. But know no one seems to be bothered about it.
