Introduction
At the meeting it was decided to cancel the previous discussion regarding character info boxes, and began a new discussion on the specific fields. This discussion allows everyone to give their specific opinion on each field. Also, if you want to add a field to the character info box, add your suggestion at the bottom.
When this discussion is over, the changes will not take immediate effect. We will discussion how we will format the infobox so that it can be the best that it can be.
The reconstruction of the character info box will take up the following discussions:
- Part 1: Discussing which fields to include and not include and their guidelines
- Part 2: Establishing the guidelines/policies for each field
- Part 3: Establishing an arrangement/layout/format of the infobox
In this discussion, please say whether you want to keep, remove, neutral, change, or merge certain fields. Please also give your input into what you think should the guidelines for each field.
Use the following templates in your response:
- {{Keep}} - if you want to keep the field.
- {{Remove}} - if you want to remove the field.
- {{Merge2}} - if you want to merge the field with other fields.
- {{Change}} - if you want to change the field.
- {{Neutral}} - if you are neutral regarding a particular field.
This discussion will end on Thursday, June 19, 2014 at 9:00 AM, eastern time.
We need more input, so I have extended this discussion until Thursday, June 26, 2014 at 9:00 AM, eastern time. — AMK152 (Wall • Contrib) 12:13, June 19, 2014 (UTC)
Still, we have little input. I am extending this to Thursday, July 3, 2014 at 9:00 AM, eastern time. — AMK152 (Wall • Contrib) 18:51, June 29, 2014 (UTC)

Designs
Change - I believe that a designs section should be created as part of the galleries. It would be a good way to see all the designs at once, because right now you can only see one design at a time. — AMK152 (Wall • Contrib) 13:02, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

Interests
Neutral - I would say that if we kept this field, we would need to limit this to primary interests. — AMK152 (Wall • Contrib) 13:02, June 12, 2014 (UTC)
Keep - 120d Talk Contribs 17:55 June 13, 2014 (UTC)
Neutral - - quite an ambiguous heading. --Spongebob456 talk 19:20, June 22, 2014 (UTC)
Occupations
Keep - but I believe we should only include primary occupation. There is no need to list every (even small) occupations/jobs in the infobox. We can have a section in the article (career) for this. — AMK152 (Wall • Contrib) 02:31, June 14, 2014 (UTC)
Keep - I don't agree with AMK152. 120d Talk Contribs 9:44 June 14, 2014 (UTC)

Awards
Neutral - I don't know. — AMK152 (Wall • Contrib) 13:02, June 12, 2014 (UTC)
Neutral - I feel like it should be deleted, but I feel like those who do have awards, it would be important to list them. 120d Talk Contribs 17:56 June 13, 2014 (UTC)
Neutral - - perhaps mention this in the bio? --Spongebob456 talk 19:20, June 22, 2014 (UTC)
Aliases
Remove - this can get very long. If we keep this field, we need to limit this. We cannot include every random insult or name-calling as an "alias." — AMK152 (Wall • Contrib) 13:02, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

Remove - Joseph does have a good point. — AMK152 (Wall • Contrib) 20:15, July 6, 2014 (UTC)
Keep - Keep it, it's important, and it would be discrimination to colorblind people to not describe colors to them.

Support, oppose, or neutral.
Appearance
- Proposed by AMK152 to use for characters with only one appearance.
Support - for characters with one appearance, there is no need for "first" and "last" listing the same episodes. I will be neutral about adding this field if "last/latest appearance" is removed. — AMK152 (Wall • Contrib) 13:05, June 12, 2014 (UTC)
