Cleaning up Characters.FairyTail

I'm looking to overhaul the character pages for Characters.Fairy Tail. They've been getting kind of messy lately. Here's what's on my to-do list:

  • Create a general page for Fairy Tail that lists tropes about the guild as a whole.
  • Renaming the Fairy Tail guild pages "Main Members" (for "Team Natsu"), "Major Members" (for the Masters, S-Class Wizards, and the Tenrou/Sirius Island guys), and "Minor Members" (for the rest).
  • Renaming "Other Guilds" to "Official Guilds", and splitting it into two pages: "Before Sirius Island" and "After Sirius Island". Because that page is big, and Sirius Island is a good cut-off point.
  • Reserve the "Others" page for the "Unsorted" characters, and make a separate page for all the other groups called "Other Guilds and Groups".
  • Making a separate page for Walking Spoilers, namely Zeref, Acnologia, and the future characters.
  • Adding context. Far too many of these tropes are guilty of having Zero-Context Examples; it especially irks me how some examples say things like, "This guy makes Minerva of all people crap themselves," or "Ticking off ''Mirajane was probably a bad idea," as if readers already know who Minerva or Mirajane are.
  • You can probably guess that some people just don't follow the spoiler policy. Let's change that by keeping all spoilers unmarked until we can find a way to use them more properly.
  • There is a gratuitous overuse of markups, and it gets. Really. ANNOYING!!!!! Examples such as these (the Dark Guilds page is a pretty bad offender) should be written more compellingly.
  • Getting rid of those "infoboxes". I vaguely recall adding them because I thought they'd be of some kind of use, but now I think they're an eyesore. They're filled with trivial info (like where a character's guild mark is, or spells/weapons characters only ever use once), while some of the more important information can easily be written out in the character descriptions.
  • Cleaning up any instances of natter or chapter-by-chapter developments.

EDIT: I'm now working on reorganizing everything using sandboxes.
