It does need one, yes -- I find it just as annoying. The suite of Fruits Basket articles are currently being rennovated, with several pages up for merging, plus some new ones being created. After the dust settles the template needs to be revised, to include this. —Quasirandom (talk) 20:29, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There, an interim revision, including the various lists. Once the character merges do (or don't) happen, we can rearrange those links. (And fix the wonky centered formatting -- I'm apparently not as up on wikitables as I thought, as I can't figure out how to left-align things.) —Quasirandom (talk) 16:36, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A) Good move -- I was going to bring this up after the latest round of character merges, but life has been lifelike for me lately.
2) Should all the characters be listed? As it is, it pretty much acts like a TOC for the list of characters, which has its own TOC. The only characters with individual articles now are Tohru, Yuki, Kyo, Shigure, and Akito.
Thanks, I wasn't 100% sure if I should go ahead with the move, but I decided to be bold. As far as the charactes are concerned, this is something I have trouble with. I usually leave character links alone, except for bypassing redirects and adding missing links to separate pages. —Dinoguy100019:28, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How odd...I have this on my watch list but didn't see any of the recent activity. I totally support the move clean up (thanks Dino). For the characters, I don't think those in the list really need listing at all. I'd be inclined to leave links for those who have kept their individual articles, and maybe link to the list with something like "full character list" or the like. -- AnmaFinotera (talk·contribs) 03:22, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's not the worst of it. Several of those links have been added in just the past few days, which means there may be some friction when cleanup starts. *shudders* —Dinoguy100017:30, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
