Okay, this is insane[edit]

The characters "Poker Hogg", "Angus McDuck," "Blackheart Beagle," and "Pa Beagle" do not appear in the series, yet when I try to remove them, I am accused of vandalism. Will someone PLEASE try to get this straightened out? 70.249.163.132 (talk) 09:43, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No answers? Okay, I will remove the comic characters, but I'll probably get accused of vandalism again. 70.250.200.82 (talk) 03:38, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Other Unmentioned Characters[edit]

Scrooge McDuck's secretary, Mrs. Featherbee, and Jasmine Teale, who hypnotizes Donald Duck and makes him steal a special submarine's controls. Not to mention the evil scientist Dr. (or Professor?) Bluebottle who steals the S. S. Moby in the mini series "Catch as Cash Can." Also, King Greydrake, who was taken care of by Ms. Beakley at one point. Mrs. Quackenbush, the boys' school teacher. Professor Newtyduty, AKA Jack The Tripper. Sherlock Jones, who helps the boys find an antidote for the formula that turns Scrooge into "Uncle Moneybags", and is a Jr. Woodchuck.Kogejoe (talk) 07:28, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WHO removed Launchpad, Fenton, Gyro, etc.?[edit]

And WHY can I not undo their edits? 69.154.210.153 (talk)

Merge with Bentina Beakley and Webby Vanderquack[edit]

Bentina Beakley and Webby Vanderquack are not sufficiently independently notable to justify individual articles. These two articles should be merged into this list. Neelix (talk) 13:27, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge the 2017 version?[edit]

I don't really see the need to have two lists of DuckTales characters – the main and recurring characters are the same as in List of DuckTales (2017 TV series) characters, maybe just have sections for characters specific to each incarnation? Ausir (talk) 17:48, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple issues tag[edit]

I'm thinking it would be nice to be able to work to remove the "multiple issues" tag. I'm not sure exactly what needs to be improved, though... Comparing it with List of Darkwing Duck characters, I can't say that I find this article worse off... Any suggestions? --Pyy (talk) 11:43, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it. If anyone disagree, please state your reasons :) --Pyy (talk) 11:29, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Top picture[edit]

Is this picture really necessary? It's fan-created work and looks shoddy compared to the rest of the page.

SandSan (talk) 01:22, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It’s an image that illustrates the content of the article and follow WP regulations. Hardly any picture on WP is "necessary", and I for one absolutely support finding an even more suitable image to replace it with. Until then, this one works just fine. —Pyy (talk) 07:49, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay Pyy...[edit]

Why do you think that separation in the Don Karnage section is so important and needs to stay? Do you actually understand basic wording and sentence structuring? 186.31.11.33 (talk) 17:34, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As with Della Duck, Darkwing Duck, Fethry Duck, Merlock et al, line breaks are done to separate the characters' DuckTales role from their non-DuckTales appearances. The same goes for main characters, wich have different sections for the 1987 series and the 2017. No need for name calling. Thanx —Pyy (talk) 00:08, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Starling[edit]

While the evolution of the Starling character is an obvious reference to Negaduck of Darkwing Duck, as far as I know there is no source who states if and when he will adopt the persona. If such a source esist, then ofcourse it should be added in the article, with the source stated. --Pyy (talk) 15:02, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Table[edit]

Please explain why the 2017 section of the table should be split into seasons. There's no practical reason, as no character's voice has changed between seasons, and it only serves to stretch the table unnecessarily. In fact, I'd argue the "Season One" and "Later Episodes" columns of the 1987 section could easily be merged into one column. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 22:34, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As with most fleshed out characters/cast lists on Wikipedia, the purpose is not only to detail who played what part but also when they did it. TV shows are produced in seasons, and a cast table ought to mirror that. Thanx! :) —Pyy (talk) 20:40, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Most TV character/cast lists separate by season to track whether they are main/recurring/guest, particularly if that status changes between seasons, and don't list anyone that wasn't a main character at some point. Also, none of those character tables have 70~ characters on them, nor are they split between two different TV shows, a movie and a video game. And if you really cared about "seasons", why is 1987 split into "season 1" and "later episodes" instead of numbering the seasons individually? Just because other articles do it a certain way doesn't mean it's the right way for this one, and as Wikipedia says, sometimes you have to ignore all rules to make an article better. The table as it stands now is unnecessarily bloated and disorganized, and leaving it as it is does the article a disservice. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 21:18, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That is of course a matter of opinion. If concensus is with you, the article should change, but until then it should stay the same. Ignoring all rules doesn't apply when it's a single editor's opinion. --Pyy (talk) 09:29, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you're so committed to making it supposedly match other articles, why are seasons 2-4 combined into one column instead of listed individually? Why is Remastered listed before the movie in the table when it was released after? Why is the 2017 series part of the chart when it's a separate entity entirely from the original show? The table as it is now doesn't adhere to any of these supposed standards, and as a result, it comes off as a disorganized and riddled with information creep. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 12:46, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The season 2-4 in combined because the data is the same. Remastered is listed before the movie because its based on the NES game, and the 2017 series is part of the chart because its part of the article. As I said before, if the consensus is with you, any aspect of what you approach can be altered. But so far, you stand alone in your opinion. —Pyy (talk) 14:19, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Considering the two of us are the only ones discussing this, I don't think you can argue you have any more support for your version than I do. And why should the existence of the NES game which DIDN'T have voice acting affect the placement of a game that did? That's a nonsensical reason. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 14:26, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia editing states that concensus is needed to make major changes. If no concensus is reached the major changes is nixed, and the article remains the same. You asked the reasons and you’ve had them. I’m sorry to hear that you don’t agree with the structure, but, as at the moment, you stand alone against the – admittingly silent, but never the less – majority. —Pyy (talk) 15:30, 9 August 2019 (UTC)°[reply]

You can't say I stand alone or that there's a silent majority when, again, it's only been the two of us debating this from the start. I submitted a call for a third opinion in the hopes of putting this to rest; I'll defer to whatever decision they make. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 15:50, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Third opinion[edit]

Response to third opinion request:

Actually, not quite a third opinion, but...would someone please provide some diffs? I looked through a few diffs myself and I didn't see any differences in the tables. Erpert ^{blah, blah, blah...} 19:32, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing. Here's PYY's preferred version, and here is mine. The primary difference between the two is in the number of columns, seen at the top of the table. PYY's lists individual seasons (in 1987's case, S2-S4 of 1987 is grouped into a "later seasons" column) and places 2013's DuckTales Remastered before the 1990 Movie due to it being a remake of a 1989 game. Mine condenses each show into a single column encompassing all their seasons and lists the game after the movie. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 19:49, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. Well, I would opt for Cyberlink420's version because it doesn't look like any of the voice cast for the 2017 revival series has changed at all, thus there is no need for separate columns there. Erpert ^{blah, blah, blah...} 03:53, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cool; thanks for the input! -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 04:45, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
