Given the evolving roles of all these characters, I get that you want something on the character pages that state what their roles in each game are. That is perfectly understandable. The problem, however, is that it\'s needlessly overcomplicating these pages.

The problem, however, is that it\\\'s needlessly overcomplicating these pages since the entire index is organized according to which game these characters first debut in.

Take the Mass Effect 3 party member page, for example. Under your planned proposal, the entire page except for two entries is filled with stubs. That draws attention away from the page\'s primary purpose of giving you information about new party members because people will have to open multiple folders containing nothing but stubs instead of the information that brought them to the page in the first place. In addition, those stubs also require people to go to an entirely different page if they want further information about party members who showed up in previous games instead of having it all on one specific page, which becomes a very inconvenient problem when you have a series with 7 (technically 8) different character pages. As things stand right now, that page is telling me to go to the Mass Effect 1 party members page so often, I\'m wondering why I just didn\'t go there in the first place.
