The previous tamplate served no purpose other than to link the names of the characters. The previous layout of where they lived and worked was too complicated, too big and not needed. I have compacted it, and it is now smaller and more efficient.

While it is more compact, the loss of the surnames of characters is rather disappointing. The surnames of most Coronation Street characters are as important as their first names - with many viewers associating with a surname rather than a first name (Barlow, Duckworth, Bishop, Cropper). I would consider putting them back.

I noticed that Janice wasn't included so have added her - I have placed her between Ashley and Les because she was the first of the Battersbys to be introduced (working at the factory several weeks before Les arrived) Dippit 16:00, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-01-12T16:00:00.000Z","author":"Dippit","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Dippit-2007-01-12T16:00:00.000Z-Changes_explained","replies":["c-Bungle44-2007-01-12T16:24:00.000Z-Dippit-2007-01-12T16:00:00.000Z"]}}-->
Sonny does not have a character page so why link? Also, why don't we wait until the characters are actually on screen before creating links on the template Ben 23:03, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-01-30T23:03:00.000Z","author":"Benc533","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Benc533-2007-01-30T23:03:00.000Z-Sonny,_Jodie_and_Wilfred","replies":[],"displayName":"Ben"}}-->
Answer: two points - Why can't someone create a character page for Sonny? Eastenders does it all the time when new cast members are announced and Sonny is going to be involved in a big storyline with Sean. Plus he's been in the show for a while now.
Also, If you have not noticed, Jodie and Wilfred did make their first appearance Monday night in the 8:30 show. So they should be mentioned. i mean Holly Grimshaw is there and she's a baby.
Just thought I should put my thoughts down in a proper discussion rather than having edits reverted here, there and everywhere. Firstly I think that the new look template is extremely drab, although I understand that it has been done like this to present a benchmark across all British soap opera related articles. It would have been nice if we had been informed of such a large change by the original editor, or if editors or specific topics (such as myself for Coronation Street) were informed personally. It's all about communication at the end of the day. Secondly, I am of the opinion that some of the related topic links do need to have the full article title as opposed to a shorter, one word, line. Just what are readers clicking on when they click 'Humour'? I hope that we can rectify any differences that we may have Ben 19:10, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-03-05T19:10:00.000Z","author":"Benc533","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Benc533-2007-03-05T19:10:00.000Z-New_look_template","replies":["c-Trampikey-2007-03-05T19:16:00.000Z-Benc533-2007-03-05T19:10:00.000Z","c-J_Di-2007-03-05T19:21:00.000Z-Benc533-2007-03-05T19:10:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Ben"}}-->
The template misses about 20 current characters on the coronation street roster, that are actually current characters. Wiki, The Mortons, Lauren Wilson and so on are characters that are staying in it and have as much right to be on there as Ken Barlow other soaps have every character in their own page, in this template. Why is this not the case, can I create seperate pages?

I've added a new section for the template. List of Residences in Weatherfield.Its quite similar to a page on Eastenders. Its only briefly done and needs a lot more work on it. Hope you all like it.

I see that the recurring and minor characters have been enlarged with this template, though they are covered by the circular list, i suggest we either removed the links to the minor characters, Past characters and Past recurring and minor characters or just remove the recurring/minor characters altogether. 86.156.244.224 21:00, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-09-06T21:00:00.000Z","author":"86.156.244.224","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-86.156.244.224-2008-09-06T21:00:00.000Z-Recurring_and_minor_characters","replies":[]}}-->
I suggest the removal of all redirects.

Are the past characters supposed to be in some sort of order? It looks like a jumbled mess.

Should the The Brothers McGregor be included in the spin-offs section? Its main characters originated in an episode of Coronation Street (although played by different actors).
