Why does this template exist? It just seems to duplicate the "characters" template, while excluding Cylons. --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 15:59, 2 May 2007 (CDT)

:I just wondered the same. This is the very definition of clutter. All it does is duplicate the information already in the character list. Also, what other template displays this? All the character pages just use "<nowiki>{{Characters}}</nowiki>", but this is still invoked somehow. Anyways, I vote to delete this. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 14:53, 26 July 2007 (CDT)

::Concur. This goes back to days last year when we went more than a bit template-crazy. Same would be true for the various succession templates (which, with Season 4, will likely go nowhere). --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 15:33, 26 July 2007 (CDT)

:::There is also a [[Template:Characters (RDM Cylons)|Cylon template]] which makes some more sense, as not all of those characters are listed in the normal character template. So maybe the if the character is a Cylon the Cylon template can be used additionally, otherwise nothing else happens. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 15:36, 26 July 2007 (CDT)
::::Ok.. the reason I created these two template was because the mixed between the colonials and the cylons in our main "list" was getting crazy. Now this template shows up on Colonial pages only and the cylon one shows up on the cylon pages. I thought it be an easier way to go through the different characters by group without having to sort through the category tree.

I've commented out the relevant line the normal character template so this isn't shown. The Cylon template is still displayed. We could keep it around just in case instead of deleting it. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 05:43, 5 August 2007 (CDT)
