I've given this a lot of thought. I really believe the wiki would benefit from showcasing the Affiliations properly and expanding them on their own page accessible from an easily seen link. To be honest, IDK why this concept is meeting such resistance, but I can live with the Affiliations being on the category page provided we move from an Alphabetical listing to a Chronological listing of the Affiliations. In that way, we keep in line with the way Top Nav lists the characters and, more importantly, we honor the order in which the Affiliations formed. And within the Affiliation, it would be great if we could list characters in order of appearance, as cast lists have done at the end of most cinematic films for decades.

I can't recall all the affiliations off the top of my head, but I'm thinking the first five would be: ISC, Iwatobi JHSC, Iwatobi HSSC, Samezuka ASC, and ISCR to start, with the others to follow. And if there's a way to shrink the icons/text a bit, that would mitigate their impact on the page, along with a statement at the top of the page that says both types of listings are available therein.

What do you think?

Edit: If we do this, there's no need for additional icons to be added since the Top Nav already delineates Main, Supporting and Minor characters for Users and it would simply take up more space when the idea is to reduce the Affiliations' footprint on the page to accommodate both styles of search.
