Okay, what happened here is a little frustrating, but I'll defer to you guys:

Previously, "secondary protagonists" was a category for the "next most important" character after the protagonist. Fergie, Mark, Elliot, Andy. I didn't like the name, but used it because that's what the community had been using. I agree with the name change to "supporting characters," but I wish it had a restriction set like, only "next most important" characters or something. The problem is every character that is not the protagonist is a "supporting character." Why have a category at all?

I don't mean to call Murder out, but I know he loves just adding things in categories, and he's added Alicia (from Camp Jellyjam) and other characters I wouldn't consider important enough. I think Alicia is a "minor character," even.

The whole category system here is problematic. I think some users contribute by pretty much only shifting pages around in categories (meaning from what I've seen, at least 80% of their contributions here have been to look for a category on the category page that is under utilized, then go through the wiki and start adding that category to pages that would fit in that category. I don't know if they're trying to get the badges, get their edit count up, or what. In my honest opinion, categories should be added after a page is created, and in rare one off circumstances where a category may have been forgotten and left off, but I feel like categories is 80-90% what is edited here. I was trying to help with categories a little, but I stopped to focus on other things. This wiki needs so much: character pages, new plot synopses, etc. Categories should not be 80% of what is edited, but it feels that way.

So many of the categories like "male" and "human" seem so large and unnecessary. With "supporting character" including all characters that aren't protagonists like Alicia, it also now seems unnecessary.

Today, I won the 250-edits badge, and I've been creating new pages, rewriting things, expanding sections, etc, and even though I don't do this for bades, it felt good. I was like, "wow, go me," but then you just wait a little bit and someone will win the same thing in one day for playing around in categories for like ten to twenty minutes. It's kind of frustrating.

Sorry for the rant. I just needed to get this out of my system.
