Also, most of these problems come from Gods who literally create a whole world, and all it's people; or main characters who befriend half of game characters

How to improve it:



We could use bullet lists for Familiars / Friends / Subordinates, thing like those, but only in pages where is needed, we could use LOTS of ways to use less space, but we just need to keep vital infomation, and make it look good.

(Obviusly family must be above subordinates or friends, for those we shouldn't put them in bullet lists or any of that) It doesn't really actually matter that DSP speaks in a whole other language. Applying that sort of logic would mean that no anime wiki is complete. But I get what you mean - with the lack of consistent, high quality translations(seeing as seichiinara and shockingeel bailed out) and the inability for us to easily navigate and use DSP's materials, we can't understand the whole of relationships.

Tables sound like a good idea in theory, but in practice it doesn't seem to be very practical. I took the Etihw page and put it in my sandbox to sorta grasp an idea of what it would look like.

Safe to say, it doesn't look good. Which is to be expected: tables are meant to be used to display data in a formulaic and easy to comprehend manner. Like here. It also looks really bizarre - everything is text, then all of a sudden there's just a... random table. Even though it reduces space, it gives us a myriad of other problems; how do we make it look good? How do we format the information? It's something that's not worth the effort.

I do support the usage of bullet lists for familiars and subordinates, though. Like I mentioned in the OP, there's Etihw's repetition when it comes to the three dead subordinates(Ciel, Rigatona, Sherbet) and Satanick has severe repetition with his subordinates.

For friends, I don't think it'd be a good idea; I can't think of anything where friends of a character have had similar entries relationship-wise.
