Agreed with Bennett on striving to create a unique environment for the wiki. When debating, stating what another Wiki does as an argument point doesn't really sway the conversation in any direction. At least not for me. I generally don't care what another wiki does.

'Former Categories' was a brief idea I had a while back, but I immediately realized we never had enough former members of any one group to the point where such a category was warranted.

However, if we do decide to go with past and present categorzing, I don't think we should avoid certain characters (like Alice and the Serpents) just bc it pre-dates the series. We can't pick and choose bc then that's when it truly becomes confusing. Its an all or nothing type deal. There's a lot of info out there that pre-dates the series, and we can't ignore bc of the timing. For instance, I just watched a deleted scene with Hermione, where she revealed that she worked at the Bijou. I'm pretty sure a lot of people didn't know that, us included. So, like I said, all or nothing.
