You guys should get with the times, I'm pretty sure he's a regular character now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.220.131.191 ( talk) 03:21, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
I was thinking that with the episodes, the template's starting to get a bit bloated. I was thinking that a "season one" template might be better for eps. Thoughts? Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 19:45, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Many of the characters on the template (Ted Sprague; The Haitian; Eden McCain to name a few) aren't main characters, but are supporting characters. Should we seperate them into two sections? - Katanin 13:22, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
I think that the distinction between main and supporting depends on how often they appear and/or their significance to the storyline. Some are obviously more important than others. With that said, I think that Simone Deveaux should be swapped with Ted Sprague. He appears in more episodes than she does, and it is his power that causes "the bomb", making him very significant. Simone is almost completely inconsequential. She's just the annoying "love interest" that has no bearing on anything. I will change it for now, and if anyone disagrees, then we can discuss it further here. Godheval 15:05, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

I whipped up this little Heroes logo for the box after seeing it being done elsewhere, just wondering if anybody thinks it's a good idea (hard to see with a transparent background, sorry)...
I previewed it on the current gray and it works, but it'd be clearer on black (unless it was changed for a reason). Just wondering, is there a way to make an image link to an article? It'd be silly to have it linking to the actual image. Anyway, if it's a good idea; great. If not; oh well, just wanted to see if we could "define" the template a little. Cheers. Goroliath
I've tried to improved the design of the template (and added some articles who wasn't included). I'm not sure aboute the color though (tried to use the same as in the character box), but as a concept I do think this is much nicer. Pjär80 13:47, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Why is the article Heroes (TV series) linked to not only in the top bar of the template, but also in the first line? I think the later should be removed. Joiz A. Shmo 04:11, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
There seems to be a disagreement over whether to use "Mr. Bennet" or "Noah Bennet". A discussion on the Noah Bennet article's talk page debated this point, and the end decision was overwelmingly in the favor of naming the article "Noah Bennet". Therefore, that's where the article is. It makes absolutely no sense to have different names on the article and the template. I will change the template soon if nobody comes up with a reasonable counterargument. -- dws90 19:53, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
We cannot have colors in the infoboxes and whatnot, as it isn't encyclopedic. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 21:49, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
The character Elle continues to be added although the character has yet to be introduced in either the series or graphic novels, let alone have a enough material to merit a "main character" or even a wiki page. Until a page exists and the character appears on the show, she (or he?) should be left out. Upon appearance questions a far as that character's significance can be asked, and where that character should be placed in the nave box. 66.109.248.114 23:57, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
How is Maya a main character and him not? Lex94 Talk Contributions Guest Book 00:46, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Simone isn't a main character any more, and never really had been if you think about it. Iv tried changing it, but it got changed back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.1.189.157 ( talk) 20:47, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Why is Hana Gitelman and Daphane Millbrook more important than Daniel Linderman and Ted Sprague? What criteria do we use to specify wha characters are important enough tp be on this list? Honestly, I think it should be expanded, because the supporting cast of Heroes is pretty important. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.42.66.231 ( talk) 08:53, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
I think it would be a good idea to separate the characters who no longer have a role on the show and put them in a "Former Main Characters" section of the template, such as Isaac Mendez and Simone Deveaux. Do people agree? Vidgmchtr ( talk) 03:15, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
I just added a page for her. How can i add a template box for her?
I added him to the template as a black link (since it's too early for a page) but it got reverted. But Kneppner is a regular and his character is named Samuel; the press release for Orientation says "ROBERT KNEPPER JOINS THE CAST" (and separates him from all the guest stars) and later says "While the heroes adjust to their new surroundings, a mysterious carnival clan, led by ringleader Samuel (Robert Knepper), sets their sights on familiar faces". Silurian King ( talk) 13:38, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
While I reluctantly agree with Ckatz about keeping the title of this template the same, I think that the title within the template of Cast should instead be Main Cast. Sure it links to a page for all cast, but within the template, it acts as a title for the list of links to pages for the main circle of cast members throughout the series. Snake Chess 5
Wouldn't it be easier to list the main characters of each season, instead of the version we have right now? For example, wouldn't be better if it went: "Season 1: character, character, etc. Season 2: character, character, etc." ...and so on. Right now it has people like D.L. and Simone (who aren't even remotely relevant to the current storyline) listed as main characters. If you go to the list of characters in Heroes page, it has the characters sorted out by which season they were introduced; maybe we could do something like this...? It just seems silly that more current/prominent characters are completely overshadowed in this template. 4.167.170.52 ( talk) 12:14, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
User Ckatz reverted my effort to place the Heroes TV Icon, the same icon that is used on this discussion page, on this navbox template because "there are issues with fair use and copyright when using for decorative purposes." I don't understand how this can be possible as the icon's image is from the commons and is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License and Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0 License. Does anyone else see a reason why this icon cannot be used on the navbox? Thatoneguy89 ( talk) 00:02, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
I recently split the page List of Heroes characters to create a List of Heroes Reborn characters. What would be the best way to include the new page in this template? Could we split the "Characters" row into a "Heroes" row and a "Heroes Reborn" row, maybe? — 2macia22 ( talk) 10:43, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
