Good post, Angel.

I agree that there may be better way to organize the list. I remember when I first joined the wiki and I found the page confusing, which is why I'm trying to get the article cleaned up. Plus their's no other visual way to see all the Vocaloids in one place, and I've from people on VO and even my little sister who feel we need to have a place to easily reference every Vocaloid.

When I joined the wiki a little over a year ago, I was struggling to learn all the different Vocaloids, and the wiki using different sorting systems was very confusing for me. I know that might be hard for all you veterans to imagine, but joining a fandom and being expected to know over 50 characters by sight was daunting. That's why I think we need some sort of "color-coding", because like it or not, "color coding" is a memory aid and its equivalents are too.

There IS an alphabetized category of Vocaloid characters, I just realized.... it's at Category:VOCALOID. Also, I'd like to note that the way my proposal is sorted is language > company > release date, so CFM is not second. It's actually based more on the music directory navs than anything else.

I quite like that Straw Hat Pirates Gallery!! I've been mulling over the possibility of doing something like that on the mascot page for a long time. I'm sure I could code something prettier, and considering the fact that with bios included the mascot page is getting terribly long, a simply gallery would probably work very well. It would also be easier to organize, and be better suited to accommodate the growing number of mascots. What do you guys think??

Finally... okay Angel, I need to straighten something up. Bluntly. We newer editors can't be expected to know the intents behind pages that were created years ago. We especially can't be expected to ask you and Bunai about things before we propose changing things, because that undermines the entire point of the wiki concept. You aren't top mama, even though you are a valuable editor and your opinion is respected. If the community wants to change something, it changes, and if not, it doesn't change.
