Talk:List of Shortland Street characters (2018)

The "Others" section on this page.
While I agree the dog and a couple of the characters aren't important enough to have personal sections, again, I think people are overusing the others section just to dump information on characters who aren't main cast. By my understanding the purpose of that section is for characters who did so little they don't need their own infobox, not for dumping guest characters and recurring characters. Tank, Tank's Dad, Connor Stewart and Tim Myers are certainly more important than a few lines in a table.

 * The Others section is mostly used for recurring and guest characters, who don't have any casting/storyline development/reception information. It prevents the list from becoming cluttered with unsourced sections. Characters are often moved out when sources become available, usually following a promotion to the main cast or a highly publicised storyline. - JuneGloom07 Talk  01:20, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

Then why bother adding those characters in until they do anything noteworthy? For example, they're in the middle of a storyline with Tim at the moment where he's either a vicious parody of Incel culture *or* the Ferndale Serial Rapist which would dictate he either needs to be given his own information section or not added in until his story is concluded.

 * The lists are for all characters who appear that year regardless of whether they do something notable or not. If Tim's casting or storyline has received news coverage, then I'm sure he can be moved out and his section expanded. - JuneGloom07 Talk  14:44, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Rewrites
This page needs updated rewrites. As it stands it's full of poor grammar and non-updated articles. I would but my memory is bad due to skipping several episodes this year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Damolisher (talk • contribs) 05:31, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Seriously. The formatting has taken a nosedive. If I were still paying that much attention to the show, I'd fix it myself.
