Cells at Work! Code Black
Now that the Cells at Work! Code Black anime adaptation has begun airing, there should be changes made to handle it since the page is currently focused on the original series. However, I'm not sure how best this should be approached. I think there's three options:

1) Expand the Plot and Characters sections to include more about Code Black. In particular, this should include the different voice cast in Code Black to the original series (the main Neutrophil/White Blood Cell character is voiced by Yoko Hikasa for example) and the personality differences these characters have. The characters section could be split by series, or characters merged together, e.g. "Neutrophil (好中球, Kōchūkyū) / White Blood Cell (U-1146(Cells at Work!) 1196(Code Black))(白血球, Hakkekkyū)" and "Voiced by: Kikuko Inoue(Cells at Work!) Yoko Hikasa(Code Black) (Japanese); Laura PostCells at Work! (English);". However, I think this approach is a bit messy. An alternative is to use a table, like Pop Team Epic, but that only really works since it's two characters with many voice actors.

2) Create a separate Cells_at_Work!_Code_Black page. I'm not sure that Code Black is going to be notable enough to create a separate page if we treat it as a spin off only, but it would be appropriate if it was an original show. However, it would allow for characters, episode list and manga chapter listings to be taken off the main Cells at Work! page. A downside would be the various other spin offs that would remain on the main Cells at Work! page.

3) Create a List_of_Cells_at_Work!_characters page, which can be separated by series. This seems like the cleanest solution to me, as it moves an already extensive character list off the series page and allows more flexibility for adding Code Black characters and potentially the other spin offs. This doesn't solve the issue of the main Cells at Work! page being a mixture of content about both the original series and the spin offs, but the list of characters is large, and detailing Code Black characters and their differences to their counterparts on the page would only increase that.

So there's some ideas. I didn't want to launch into doing one of them (probably option 3) if other Wikipedians would disagree on the approach, so I welcome all thoughts about how to approach Code Black. Thanks, Peter Shillito (talk) 21:16, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Suggestion to split (or reorganise) content for readability
Hello, as a fairly new fan of the Cells at Work! series, very much appreciate the detailed information from all contributors here. However, I am finding it tough to parse the sheer bulk of content easily. I know little about editing articles, so I don't wish to mess anything up, but hope any of the below suggestions may eventually help other new fans looking for information like me.

1) Split spin-offs' information into a "List of spin-offs ..." page: seeing that there's 7 (8? 9?) manga spin-offs, perhaps it would be better for these to be in a separate page, so that this one can focus on the main Cells at Work! series per article title

2) Split anime episode list and summaries into "List of episodes ..." page: with the detailed summaries and 2 seasons' worth of episodes, perhaps this article would be easier to parse if the episode information is in a separate page

There may also be other better ways of reorganising that inexperienced me doesn't know of. Either way, leaving some feedback and again, big thank you for all the content to begin with. --Spacecars (talk) 16:39, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

This article really needs to be split
The manga section is ridiculously long; perhaps something like List of Cells at Work! spin-offs should be created as a reasonable WP:SIZESPLIT. Link20XX (talk) 17:33, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
