There is a moratorium on merging character pages, so don't ask for that.
Character pages are a large chunk of the wiki, but they're often filled with problems that don't get resolved. These problems include:
- Zero Context Examples
- Indentation problems, including bulleting tropes under supertropes or tropeslashing
- Spoiler tag misuse
- A lack of alphabetization
- Empty character folders
- Plagiarized character descriptions
- Misused tropes, or tropes that don't belong on character pages
- Broken or incorrect formatting
- References to Dummied Out content for video game characters.
- YMMV / Trivia trope mentions
Per How to Create a Character Page, character pages should only include tropes that describe the characters. These tropes should fall under Characterization Tropes or one of its related indexes, Unless they're recurring character traits (distinctive things that the character does repeatedly).
If you're unsure what counts as a character trope, you can ask about that at Are These Character Tropes
.
All characters must have at least one contextualized trope for their section or folder to be visible. If you find a character that has no contextualized tropes present, comment out the entire section and add this tag:

Other relevant threads:
- Problems with pre-existing images on Characters page need to go via Image Pickin'
. Low quality images can usually be upgraded without discussion, but don't change or delete images without Image Pickin' approval.
- Contentious characters attracting complaints and exaggerations (e.g. when their status as The Scrappy starts impacting examples for other tropes) have their own thread
.
- Character-Specific Pages have their own separate cleanup thread
- Self-demonstrating character pages also have their own thread
.
- Inanimate objects and locations on character pages have their own cleanup thread
- Character pages for Reality Show contestants are on-topic here, but there's also a dedicated Reality Show cleanup thread
which deals with the No Real Life Examples, Please! grey areas these shows create, and may sometimes be a better place to discuss them.
- Character pages for the Marvel Cinematic Universe have a dedicated thread here

Well, I cataloged all the pages. The only thing left to do is re-sort all the characters. Since a lot of the characters pages are only usually a couple of tropes it would just take a couple of people to really go through it.
Looking at the pages again you got a point, I didn't realize how similar these pages were to the OG. There's stuff I like in here (consolidating tiny sub-pages like Blue Marvel's character page or the Avengers ones under one banner), but I'm not sure getting "Marvel Universe" in the URL is worth re-naming half the comic book character namespace.
Plus, all of these pages have the same issue I have with a lot of these large comics pages, namely that there are can be a hundred folders on a page and only a handful actually have a trope list. Why do we need a folder for a link? Do what's done on the MCU: Avengers and Allies page, just put 'em in a list before listing the characters actually on the page.
See. If we go like that a lot of pages can be merged together. I was thinking that a lot of folder don’t need a huge blurb just for a redirect. So that would cut down on some. And other pages could probably be merged into others like you said.
It's gonna be fun on the bun!Hate to interrupt, but thanks to a combination of getting rid of Earth-838 and some wonderful work from Doctor Sleep, Sandbox.Characters MCU Multiverse is now only at about 167,000 bytes, meaning that while we could further split it up, it's also safe to just go up now and we can worry about splits later on. Is there any objections to me doing that and making all the required info cuts and moves so we can finally get this over with?

I think it looks good. The only thing I would add is a disclaimer under each universe saying that the linked characters have their own pages, similar to MCU: Avengers – Allies.
It's gonna be fun on the bun!Just found Characters.Dislyte (was thinking of potential useful notes pages, decided to look for references to Pharaoh Djoser), and I can see a lot of empty folders. Should they be commented out or deleted?
Was patrolling Edit Reasons and found Characters.Afterlife SMP. This table format cannot be a suitable replacement for a written-out description, can it?

TRS Wick CleaningCharacters.Tokyo Ghoul has some characters hard-split between events in Tokyo Ghoul and events in the sequel, is this normal?
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupCharacters.Spider Man Bloodline has only one character, no description for said character, and most of the trope examples have very little context.
Tl;dr, I found the character page for Sol Cresta. I also realized it doesn't have very many tropes and it has several Zero-Context Examples, complete with some folders just having the latter or having no Tropes at all.
It's a party board game, it does not have characters besides the mascot. What's possible should be moved to the main page and page cut.

TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupWhat do we do with the Scorpion subpages that relate to the Comic Book character?

Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576With Boba Fett, Fennec Shand, Din Djarin the Mandalorian, and Grogu receiving meet-and-greets at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, could I add links to their bios to the character sheet?

Make Scorpion a disambiguation, then either create a redirect for ComicBook.Scorpion Marvel Comics or just link it through the character page. I'd go with the second one since I don't think Scorpion has had a solo comic before, atleast not while as Scorpion. Maybe as Venom, but that would be a different title.
Moved tropes and cutlisted Characters.Monopoly as unnecessary stub.

I don't have much of an opinion but I guess there's no harm to linking the bios.
So, it's come to my attention that someone tried to move some of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul character sheet subpages to pages like Characters.Breaking Bad Universe Walter White buut they didn't do the moves properly as they mistakenly thought that they had to essentially blank pages before cutlisting them + didn't bring up the move proposal beforehand. I already talked to them about this (and they apologized) and I also restored the blanked pages. However, I'm not sure if these moves were needed or not, so I decided to bring the matter here.

Macron's notes
I recently brought it up here
. I still don't know how to link to specific sections so its at the top of the page. Anyways unless everyone wants to put in the effort to do a Cobra Kai style cleanup, its probably not happening. I'd be up for it happening, but I'd need help.

The various character pages of We Are All Pokémon Trainers are pretty messy. Tropeless sections/characters, images that aren't right-aligned, trope names with spoiler tags or potholes, ZCEs all over the place. If anyone's able to chip in with a bit of cleaning, any and all help is appreciated!
