What is the difference between the "others" and "misc" columns? - Starfield 12:01, 23 March 2009 (EDT)
- I think it's mostly to do with the use of alternate headers - in Armada, for instance, you have the Mini-Cons to deal with, and you rename the "Others" or "Misc" column to Mini-Cons with |h4= or |h5= accordingly. If there were only four columns, there would be no place for Mini-Cons if you had Autobots, Decepts, humans and [say] Unicron (an "Other") to deal with - SanityOrMadness 12:48, 23 March 2009 (EDT)
Is there any established criteria for what the dividing line is between "Featured Characters" and "Guests"? Is the prior classification for those with speaking parts and the latter for those who just stand in the background?Shellspark 13:29, 24 March 2009 (EDT)
- Uh... I'm pretty sure there isn't one. We don't do "Guests" anymore. Everyone gets listed, speaking part or no, in order of appearance. --M Sipher 13:33, 24 March 2009 (EDT)
- I dunno if we ever settled this. Some people still list "cameos" or whatnot when doing Featured Characters. You could argue that there's something to that, if it's a story with like a billion dudes in it, but I figure if you need to know who's really important, you can look and see who shows up in the Synopsis. -- Repowers 13:40, 24 March 2009 (EDT)
- Ok, I'll then strip the "Guests" section from these Energon episode pages and shuffle everyone into "Featured Characters". Which means I get to watch all the episodes. Again! --Shellspark 13:52, 24 March 2009 (EDT)
Makeover
The current styling on the featured characters box doesn't render the same on every browser (in IE it's got a heavy red border around it, and the cell borders vary in look as well), so I'd like to put forward a suggestion to make it look a little better. Here's my attempt:
| Autobots | Decepticons | Humans | Others | Misc |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Opinions? Complaints? Rotten fruit? :) --abates 04:46, 30 June 2009 (EDT)
