Could someone please direct me to where the discussion took place that resulted in the haphazard meshing of several independant articles into this gigantic mess? It looks as if not only were these pages thrown together, but a lot of information was lost in the process. (Path of Radiance section, I'm looking at you here...) If the individual game articles were that bad, it would have been better to improve them one at a time. Furthermore, this article is 27 pages long when printed, an excessive amount by any standard. -- Tjstrf 05:23, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
Would anyone mind if I added some character pictures? --

Here is the original version of the explanation that Zxcvbnm posted: "This article is intended to include the minor characters from all the games in one place, rather than having to clog up the main article pages or have many separate character pages for each series. All separate character pages (cruft) or groups of character pages should redirect here."
I disagree with that explanation, as it constitutes letting the article clog up into a big mess, and it sounds contradictory. Lot of information about some characters will be lost if edits are done to comply with the explanation. A lot of information was lost in the edit process by Zxcvbnm, but I manage to recover it. Zxcvbnm wrongly called it cruft, and he has contradicted himself.

Grrr... and I suppose it'll be up to others to fix up the mess I tried to recover some of the old information, but I only found part of it.
BTW, should we start work on some of the parts that are incomplete? Namely, FE4 2nd Generation, FE 1/3, FE5, and FE6? I know a fair bit about the FE6 character, so I suppose I can start that one... 72.38.187.62 14:09, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
So, we're leaving this page intact then? Personally, I'd reccomend we divide it back into the old articles, simply based on the obscene length. -- Tjstrf 21:06, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
I'm in favor of re-separating the articles back to their former parts. An article of this length is just bound to become unwieldy (or moreso than it already is). The problem is keeping cruft-boy from trying to reorganize things again. Hailinel 01:34, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
Ugh, I can find so many misspellings and missing words in this... It's long, it's badly spelled, it's terrible. Minimoose 19:24, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Exactly why we must improve it, and put it in seperate articles again. They should each be individual articles for each game, like the Final Fantasy character lists are. 24.42.246.206 03:07, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
As you can see, the article now simply refers to the characters from Fire Emblem 7 and has been retitled to reflect that fact. Let's try to keep it this way, ladies and gents. -- Hailinel 19:36, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Instead of opinioning the characters in-game, it should be how their story goes.
