I'm a little intimidated by this table...

so I don't think I can edit it properly.

But many of the characters from Seanan McGuire's October Daye series (and probably others) are definitely explicitly bi. I know, at a minimum, that Tybalt and Quentin have both been shown in romantic relationships with both male and female people in different stories. Tamtrible (talk) 05:25, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Well, I'd add in the characters you can find sources for. If that many characters are bi, there are bound to be some sources out there. --Historyday01 (talk) 13:00, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Hatnotes

@Historyday01: Those hatnotes you added back are against guidelines. Per WP:RELATED:

Disambiguation hatnotes are intended to link to separate topics that could be referred to by the same title. They are not intended to link to topics that are simply related to each other, or to a specific aspect of a general topic.

From this, do you now understand why I removed the hatnotes? Readers will never arrive at an article titled "List of fictional bisexual characters" when they are really looking to read about Biphobia, for example. I understand you are trying to aid navigation, but there are better ways to do this. If you disagree, then please help me understand how the hatnotes do not fail this guideline.

Well, TarkusAB, that is one dumbass rule, if I've ever saw one. If you try and reverse the existing edits I have put in place and add sections for bisexual characters in TV, anime, or animated series, I WILL reverse them. Having an empty section that only links to another page is no better than a link farm and it has no place on Wikipedia. To say that they "must" be listed because they are supposedly "subpages" (they aren't), is total rubbish. --Historyday01 (talk) 15:30, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
No need to get defensive. I'm trying to work with you. I'm not suggesting anything radical here, this is standard practice to fill the table of contents to aid navigation. Readers can see film, video games, etc. listed but no anime, western animation, and television. They should be listed there too. They are subpages because "bisexual characters in anime" et al. are by definition "fictional bisexual characters". How are they not subpages? and how is what I suggested "total rubbish"? TarkusABtalk/contrib 15:49, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
Good questions. I would argue that such sections would not aid in navigation and would argue that listing them at the beginning of the page is sufficient. I checked and the List of bisexual characters in television, List of bisexual characters in anime, and List of bisexual characters in animation pages were never split off from this page and were created separately, meaning that they are not subpages. They are related, for sure, but cannot, and should not, be considered subpages. That is what I meant by "total rubbish." Historyday01 (talk) 15:52, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Entries which need better sourcing

These are all webcomics. I'd like to create pages for them all, if at all possible. --Historyday01 (talk) 20:05, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
