The Grand Dowager Empress is the Emperor's Grandmother, who also has retired before her daughter, the Dowager Empress became Empress.

The Imperial House of Japan, is the Emperor of Japan, his legitimate male descendants, all of his legitimate unmarried female descendants, his wife, his mother, and his mother's mother.

As of the 2016-2017 school year of Whateley Academy, the reigning Emperor is X, with the other members of the Imperial House, outlined by the family tree below

I'm just quite sure that there's not an easy way to rename / transfer the contents, other than manually / with the bot.

If Null agrees, I could move it tomorrow, but no earlier than about... 15 hours from now?

Goodnight...

I was looking up some stuff, and G2 is pretty much non-existant - the characters arent in the character list, if you dont know about the stories listed in the timeline they dont exist.

Yes. In fact, that's the current task on my agenda. I started it a couple of weeks ago, and then got sidetracked by "Shenanigans Too", which required doing "A Little R&R 3". It's going to take a few months to do the entire list, since I'm going through all the stories and making sure that there are character pages for all the characters.

As far as updating the character list, I've been ignoring that. If that seems to be important, I'll add updating it to the task list.

But, most useful ones, we're already doing, as "Previously" and "Following", IIRC...

So, unless someone has a good one we're not technically doing, that's not an issue.

I'm proposing to ditch the main table and reorganize the rest into five tables:

* (Sortable) Gen1 Student List
* (Sortable) Gen2 Student List
* (Sortable) Code Name list (non-students)
* (Sortable) non-Code Name list (non-students)
* (Sortable) Entity List

This is sort of what we've got now, except that it separates the students from the non-students.

This is obviously not going to happen overnight.

Comments? Good idea? Bad idea? Other ideas?

Maybe it's a good idea to have duplicate entries for students, being listed in both codename and Student lists.

...

Maybe split into alphabet pages at some point, or Male, Female, Gender-complicated?

Many ways to split. Dunno the best.

The big problem is the size - some components are just choking on it, so that's why I'm proposing separating students from non-students.

i'd been mulling organizing them alphabetically, but while it would cut down the size of individual tables, it would be a lot harder to simply browse.

Something to keep mulling over.

Katssun wrote: Just my two cents:
- Split the student tables into sortables
- Keep an unsortable Code Name table unified (it's still searchable!)
- A separate sortable list for non-students without code names

Why? I like to check the Code Name list to make sure something I come up with for WhatIFs and microscenes hasn't already been used. Using something that's already canon would be super embarrassing for me, and potentially confusing to any potential readers.

But you can split the Gen 1 and 2 tables because Code Names can be reused while the students are at school. You'd get some duplicates in the full list, but that's actually better to know for continuity.

XaltatunOfAcheron wrote: Let me see if I understand this. I'm breaking it down into three parts for clarity.

Your first recommendation is to get rid of the sortable character index and replace it with the other four existing indexes. I can see that - in fact, I'm going to put a note in that table that I'm not updating it any more.

Your second recommendation is to make the main code name table unsortable. That may, in fact, help, although I suspect not since it does not appear to sort the table when it's first presented. In favor, though, is I don't see any real advantage in sorting instead of simply using the browser's find function.

Does anyone actually use the sort facility?

Your third recommendation is to use Gen1 and Gen2 for students instead of the current split into 2007 and 2016. IOW, put everyone in Gen 1 into the same table, instead of breaking it out into individual years. I kind of like that. The question I'd have there is that it would make it a bit more difficult to tell whether a student was on campus in any particular year, although it would cut down on duplication.

Yes, that's basically what I was going for. The main code name table doesn't need to be sortable was what I was getting at. Just a regular big table. Using Find on your browser works just fine.

Do we know that all the New Olympians are on a (single) New Olympians training team? It may be similar to the Grunts (training team) in that only some JROTC unit members are in that team/clique.

Malady wrote: Should all Combat Teams get their own Category page?

It has been done for many teams, clubs and cliques in the past, yes, and I see no reason to stop doing it. In a nutshell, it's easier to tag a member with the category than to remember to edit the group page, so it ends up being a bit more reliable.

Malady wrote: 'Cause we've got "Denoument", but not "Category:Denoument".

Oh well, apparently nobody got around to doing it yet. And it should be "Denouement", with 3 "e"s, by the way.

Malady wrote: But, Category:New Olympians is categorized as a "Category:Clique"... Should " New Olympians " be re-categorized?

I don't think so. The New Olympians certainly are a clique, kind of (they don't really get all along), but I have seen no evidence that they are all in the same training team.
In a few cases, there's a lot of overlap between teams, cliques and clubs. There are cliques built around a team (Kimbas, Outcasts, Mutant Mayhem Machine), where there are a few people who aren't technically members of the team who nevertheless are part of the clique; there are clubs who have an associated training team (the Grunts come to mind)... in such cases, they might be categorized as BOTH a clique and a team.

And in the "G" section of "Category:Combat Teams", it goes:

So maybe just make a Catgirl category and stick Pounce in there too, until we have a second, then make Catboy?

A telekinetic can apply his strength at range. Think, using the Force to call something to you.

A psychokinetic generates a field of energy that is hard and can be felt. Think the deflector shield of the Droidika. This is usually visible, but not always. Megagirl and Stronghold both have the psychokinetic power. Marty's shield looks like her idealized female form and is bending her body to match. Stronghold's shield is transparent.

Make sense?

Doesn't this also allow the PK strength to be added to exemplar/energizer/shifter-boosted strength in a punch, or hold a building together when Connor Kent picks one up?

“I can help with the makeup, honey,” Ricardo volunteered from the corner, where he’d set up a small table with a rather large makeup kit, and a collection of wigs and other props.

Ricardo was a Hispanic boy, who was so flamboyantly gay that he came off as a bit of a stereotype. Adding to that impression, was the fact that he wanted to become a professional makeup artist after he graduated.
