"Short Bio" should not be a required field in "Submit a New Character"
I'm not good at creating bios, forcing every character added by the community to have a bio can end up preventing the character from being added due to discouragement, which results in a lack of information on the site. It's better to have the character without bio added to an issue than not having the character at all. The bio can be created in the future by someone who is good at creating one, just use the "Character Corrections" option, and sometimes even the person who is good at creating a bio doesn't want to create a bio for each one they add, this site already has a scoring system based on the amount of information provided, if that's the problem, just give less points to those who do not put bio.
I've already found some issue pages that simply don't have the protagonist added to the character list, possibly because of that.
