Wouldn't it make sense to move Tory and Anders to "Supporting" now, since they'll have a much bigger role in season 4? Ausir 03:34, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Template bloat

We're running into the same problem we've run into before with the sudden bloat that this template has taken on. We need to seriously discuss this, otherwise I can see it getting ridiculous real frakking quickly. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 07:00, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Agreed, recurring characters was completely out of hand, I cleaned it up, removing Richard Adar, Layne Ishay, Peter Laird, and Kendra Shaw while fixing line breaks, I think it looks better now. It can probably be tightened up a little bit more. JubalHarshaw 21:28, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

I might go one step further and just say we need a "recurring characters" plate for those pages with important recurring characters, and have that applied to those pages only. Also, I would probably remove Jean Barolay too. -- Joe Beaudoin ^{So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus} 21:36, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

-This template getting way to big for everything. Maybe we split the dead to a new template? [[User:Shane|Shane]] ([[User_Talk:Shane|talk]]) 14:48, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

-:Sounds like a plan. At the speed they're killing off characters now, the deceased section will like double in size before the mid-season break. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 14:52, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
-:Ditto what's been said. Probably best to leave a link in this template for the dead people, though. Perhaps a category for dead people is also in order now? (Something that can be auto-applied from the Character Data template?) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [[bsp:|Battlestar Pegasus]]</sup> 16:07, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
