Why isn't there one on the Main Page?
It's so helpful to newer readers to introduce them to the characters.

^ That wouldn't direct them to the list of characters? O.o
Also, this is a niche manga currently. I don't see how adding the section is suddenly going to make the wiki get hundreds more users/readers, but that's just me.

The background colour and other colours you see can be easily changed. You can try them out yourself.
Pictures can be added specifically for this template or be altered inside the template so that they would be somewhat centered (but that'd be a major bother).

Yeah because nothing is more fun than scrolling though a (potential) hundreds of characters to find the name of the main character when you don't know his/her name...
Looks nice, user-friendly, of course attracts more users.

I have never seen a single wiki add something like this and magically gain 1 million pageviews and 500 new users editing the wiki, so it would be nice if you could post any source that proves this claim.
And if you were coming to this wiki, chances are you already know some aspect of the series (my presence here is purely coding and policy writing, rather than an interest in reading the manga, though I'll probably watch the anime (if it ever materialises)). If you didn't know much, then there's the main series page to read, which would give a summary. The whole wiki is a spoiler of the series in any case.

Don't put words in my mouth. Never claimed that it would attract so many users and that it happens in other wikis.
From personal experience, main character - yes, supporting cast - No. And I'm not about that life of (per your suggestion) looking up through a potential 100 characters to find the one character I know I want to find but know nothing on him except how he/she looks.

Gotta agree with Kamen here. No one said that as soon we add the character slider we'd get a ton of new users and views, but it would look more attractive.

No, I really don't think it would. Its unnecessary but I guess we can see how it turns out.

I wasn't going to be f****d saying anything cause clearly the users above have all said why it's a bad idea but my thoughts on why not to have one are
- It causes drama on wiki's when a users favourite character isn't shown.
- It just looks plain ugly with names covering characters faces.
- Its incredibly unneeded when you can already click on characters on the sliding template as well as click the task bar at the top of the page to see all those characters.
In conclusion, the main page does the job of this already, without it needing to be implemented.

Fair enough, y'all obviously dislike this idea lol.

We'll give a few days and see what people think. If people dislike, then we can just remove it, like anything else on the wiki.
