			* Typically, if we know the actor who portrays a character, we have an individual article for that actor. That sometimes means we have several characters whose summaries are almost identical. When I write the articles, I try to at least change the wording around a bit so that it provides variation and keeps the interest a bit...but that's not always possible. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 00:37, 22 November 2008 (EST)

	**** Oh, I see. You were talking about [[Template:PortalCharNav]]. That should be automated with [[template:minornavcell]]. The minor character navbar was showing up on all the other character portals because for some reason that's what was included way back when, with complex coding so it would only appear on [[Portal:Minor Characters]]. No matter, I just changed it so only [[template:PortalCharNavBar]] shows up on those other character portals, which is really probably the way it should be. So at this point, the only updating we'll have to do is make sure we're adding characters and that they have the correct components so the characters are correctly added. That, and we should occasionally check the portals to make sure they're automating correctly. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 00:52, 28 September 2008 (EDT)		**** Oh, I see.
