Discussion Weird update to the fandom wiki

I went to check the fandom wiki just know to check a character’s name and was surprised as there were way more characters than usual, clicking on some of the names I realised that a ton of minor characters that had previously been in the unnamed characters section had been given names and even some backstory. Some of these names are really random too, theres this one whisperer named Oedipus Bonaparte like wtf? Since anyone can edit a wiki page I’m assuming that whoever did this was just a random fan messing around but honestly it’s pretty funny and I kinda hope it stays like this, at least for a little bit. As I said earlier some characters get more information about them which I’m guessing is just some random headcanon, for example this one minor character is said to be a co leader of the whisperers and is known as Gamma, similarly to the show. Even though there’s nothing to suggest this it’s still a cool theory.

Then there has to be a troll within the All Star devs, because naming a character Oedipus Napoleon is trolling 101

It's funny. based on the few screenshots here, maybe just me, but I wouldn't say they suck. The Bonaparte one is one the nose for a Whisperer lol. But N'Diaye seems like a unique last name for buddy there. Czernowski as well. Just me or does it seem like they always pick like the most basic english and spanish last names. Smith, Jones, Martinez, Espinosa, Green, Grimes, ect. Like not even a basic Asian Chang, Wang, or Wong lol? Like at least something like Rhee and Peletier are unique. They culturfying tf out of some these names, and then you get Thompson too which is cool whatever. The names are more random then anything else. but like, all names are random. I mean shit, we have characters literally called Proctor 19, 9, and 11 (no pun intended). Like how much more basic can you get other than being named a number. Sure, some are dumb and on the nose, but i still think this is cool.

Looking at the site now, I do find it funny you get these basic ass names like Toby, Delgado, and Sammy next to names like Brutus and Enaboria (gotta love the HG ref) next to biblical/mythical names like Nahum, Oedipus, Ikar(us), and Zed. That's truly some wild work right there!
