The ordering of the different sections is extremely inconsistent. Some sections are ordered by the characters' names, while others are ordered by the characters' debut dates. The top of the page claims that "The names are organized by the year of the character's debut", but when you attempt to edit the source there is a message at the top of each section saying to "List in alphabetical order by surname (i.e. last name) or by singular name if there is none". I would just correct this myself, but I'm fairly new to Wikipedia editing and not sure which of these conflicting messages is the correct way to order the list. Could a more experienced editor please clear this up? BossBabyIsAMasterpiece (talk) 08:37, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your message! I think at one time it WAS organized by year of the character's debut (I was the one that originally proposed that), but the number of new entries threw it off... I did some light editing this morning and fixed it so that ALL the categories are organized "in alphabetical order by surname (i.e. last name) or by singular name if there is none". I'm glad I did these edits as well as the source for Loveless didn't even mention the book! So, I fixed that as well and removed I think one or two entries which didn't have reliable sources. I'm tempted to remove the entry for Perry the Platypus too (it was weakly confirmed on a Tik Tok comment, but I'm not sure that's enough to justify an entry to be perfectly honest).
