Considering that our categories sort them by their first name, and the fact that users would likely look for people by their first name since that's the first thing they see in the title (it's certainly what I always do) and every other template is organized by first name, wouldn't it make more sense to organize them by their first name? {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 14:45, 3 July 2017 (EDT) | Considering that our categories sort them by their first name, and the fact that users would likely look for people by their first name since that's the first thing they see in the title (it's certainly what I always do) and every other template is organized by first name, wouldn't it make more sense to organize them by their first name? {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 14:45, 3 July 2017 (EDT) | ||

Now that I've already made a handful of articles based on historical figures, it'd be best to bring it up here. People like [[Plato]] and [[Thomas Jefferson]] and [[Louis Pasteur]] are, obviously, real people, and they're appearing as themselves, so it'd be technically valid to add them here. At the same time, adding them to this template would be dumb, least of all because nobody is using this template for fictionalized versions of historical figures. Still, we have several people listed here that appeared in ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show'' as characters, including [[Brian Bonsall]], [[David Horowitz]], [[Nicole Eggert]], [[Ernie Hudson]], and others. We've even included fictional characters from other properties played by their original actors, like [[Sgt. Slaughter]] and [[Elvira]]. Should all of these people be listed here? And for a real doozy: what about [[Andrew | {{talk}} | ||

And for a real doozy: what about [[Andrew Heyward]], [[Dave Grenewetzki]], [[Jeff Griffeath]], and [[Don Lloyd]], all of whom are developers of ''Mario's Time Machine'' and also appear as fictionalized versions of themselves within the game (and frankly, any information on them beyond what's in the game is sparse). Should they be listed here? {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 19:41, 2 August 2017 (EDT) | |||
It might be worth splitting the template to distinguish betwen "production crew" and "real persons who appear as a character in Mario medias". --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 19:43, 2 August 2017 (EDT) | It might be worth splitting the template to distinguish betwen "production crew" and "real persons who appear as a character in Mario medias". --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 19:43, 2 August 2017 (EDT) | ||
