Siblings Template
COMBINE 13-0

I've noticed that the Siblings template, though useful, is in need of a change, notably, the fact that, on looking, one cannot actually tell which characters are, in fact, siblings. For example, Mario has two characters between him and Luigi, or on a much more dramatic scale, Dixie Kong and Tiny Kong are on complete opposite ends of the template. Some characters, like Kat and Ana, have this remedied with the word "and" in some form. My proposal, in order to clean this template up, is to do that with all characters with an unlinked 'and' between them, for example, Mario and Luigi. Naturally, this wouldn't apply to, say, the Jellyfish Sisters, as they don't have an and in their name, or to, say, Kat and Ana, who already have an and which is a part of the page name. They would be arranged alphabetically by first character's name, so it would be, say, Mario and Luigi after Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, but before Punio and Petuni.

Combine

 * 1) Per above.
 * 2) I had actually thought about doing this, but I was too lazy. :P Per Shrikeswind.
 * 3) Whoa, great idea. That'd definitely organize it a little more.
 * 4) - Per all. I don't think a proposal was necessary, however...
 * 5) - I thought about colour-coding this template a few months back, and even came up with the organizing principle; but I never proposed it because it looked bad. This idea blows mine out of the water!
 * 6) ~Per all.
 * 7) - Per All. This is gonna help s stay organized, too :P.
 * 8) - This is actually a very well done proposal, especially for a first.  Anyway, this would increase the usefulness of the template, and as Walkazo showed us, is plausible and aesthetically pleasing.
 * 9) - Per all.
 * 10) - Always those little bitty things... anywho, per all.
 * 11) - Moo. That's Cow for 'per all'.
 * 12) - per all.
 * 13) - Per all, its easier to look that way

Comments
Jeez, I hope I did this right. My first proposal and I feel like an idiot doing it. Any help would be much appreciated. -
 * You did a good job. ;) Kudos.

Er... Could you link to the template, please? :') I'll go find it myself, but it would be nice for people who newly see the proposal.
 * Here ya go.

As I said in my vote, I already did the research and came up with divisions for the siblings a while ago. I saved my work, and just went through and converted it to this idea, and this is the result. If you like it, Shrikeswind, perhaps we can use it as the new Sibling's Template if (or rather, when) this proposal passes? If there's anything amiss, please tell me. -
 * Nice template! :) It's very well organized. I might have an idea for an even more well organized version of it though.
 * I was thinking the template could look like a cross between this, and what you have as a prototype, but the outcome wasn't real good. So, your way is definitely the better way.
 * Thanks! I was thinking of dividing it up a bit like that too; but yeah, there were too many single siblings, one-link pairs, and small families to make it worthwhile... -
 * That's almost exactly what I was thinking, and no less that's a better way to do it, especially considering, for example, the Koopalings. Thank you Walkazo.
 * My pleasure :) I love template work. -
 * Should this be archived?
