Category talk:Protagonists

Category renaming?
The category names "Protagonist" and "Protagonists" are very easily confused with each other. I remember the discussion on this page, so the terminology probably should remain when it relates to the RadiMai series. But I feel a distinction needs to be made in the category name beyond just plurality, or lack thereof. Why not have the category also be named "Protagonist (Radiant Mythology)"?

Even beyond that, I feel that the "Protagonists" category works better as a branch of the "Characters" root category instead of being all-inclusive, and I've been playing around with a new way to define the "Antagonists" side of the category tree for a long while now. Both things could become root categories for their respective trees, with the different subcategories as follows:


 * Category:Characters
 * Category:Protagonists
 * Category:Playable Characters (yes this does not necessarily denote protagonists, as in Shizel and Asura's case)
 * Category:Primary Heroes
 * Category:Primary Heroines
 * Category:Supporting Characters (basically all relevant NPC allies and neutrals who don't fall into the subcategories, like family members or country rulers who aren't on an antagonist tilt)
 * Category:Supporting Party Members (Ion, Richea, KUREA, etc., the ones who don't fight in the party on their own)
 * Category:Summon Spirits
 * Category:Mascot Characters (Noishe, Tipo, Zapie, etc., just the ones who join, so the Oresoren are just suppporting chars; could use a better category name)
 * Category:Antagonists
 * Category:Primary Antagonists (the ones who drive the plot as the Big Bad; includes those with fake endings like Alexei, Zilva, Vaclav)
 * Category:Final Bosses (not necessarily primary antagonists, like Fortuna and Yuris; includes Maurits and Raging Nerifes due to the way Legendia is set up)
 * Category:Major Antagonists (the important minions with snazzy number names like the Three Terrors, Four Stars, Five Desian Cardinals, Six God Generals, plus significant bad guys like Hyades, Yuan, Zagi)
 * Category:Minor Antagonists (generally the sidequest guys and incidental enemies like the Hunting Blades, Solon, Magnadeus, Symphonia's very own 全てを砕Ｋ-san and DOOR)
