I think it should stay the way it always has been. Yes, Gaige and especially Krieg's folders are considerably huge, but it's been over a year since the game first came out, and the characters have already been fleshed out of almost every trope possible, so chances are that there aren't going to be that many more tropes added to any of them.
If we had known the characters would grow so large back when the page was still being filled out, then I'd say such a change would be warranted.
Apologies for making the change without taking it to discussion - I assumed it would work ok, but it was pretty shitty to just do it without confirming it.
That said, I felt it necessary because even with the folders, it still doesn't break up the Wall of Text caused by the excess of examples. I also tried formatting it as folders within folders (doesn't work) and tried it so that Gaige and Krieg were the only ones with additional folders; this doesn't work either, as restricting their intros to the first folder seems wrong.
"If we had known the characters would grow so large back when the page was still being filled out, then I'd say such a change would be warranted." — Surely there's no time like the present then? What is the difference between formatting a while back and doing it now?
Regardless, surely there's something needs to be done — if not trope folders, then would "Examples A-F" subheadings work?
Tiny Ted Dansen split the characters' tropes into multiple folders each (with pictures and description outside the folders) with the edit reason "Added character folders. Yes, the page was a little neater with very character in their own folder, but the excess of trope examples (especially so with the DLC characters) meant the example parts into increadibly long lists." [sic]
Due to the serial edits, I missed this edit reason the first time, and by the time I noticed I had already reverted it. The point is, let's discuss it here. You shouldn't make major changes like that without talking about it first.
