Template talk:X-Men

message: I really think Magneto should be added in members section as well. Unlike Juggernaut, Sabretooth, Mystique, Legion and Lady Mastermind, he has been on the team comparatively longer if not more than Emma Frost. FudgeFury(talk|sign|contribs) 19:52, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Magneto

message: Since she suddenly seems to have become an issue when she's been an official member of the team for over 2 years now, I'm starting this section. As you can clearly see at the Astonishing X-Men page roster, Warbird was a full fledged member for the entire final run of the book.  That's not including all her appearances as a team member in the Wolverine and the X-Men comics, and other appearances like the first arc of Amazing X-Men, and other X-books.  Add her back. 71.121.241.118 (talk) 02:11, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Being an instructor at the school does not equate being an X-Man. Perfect example?  Deathlock.  He was never given any full membeship to the team even though he taught at the school.  He is not in the template, and Spider-Man shouldn't be for the exact same reason. 71.121.241.118 (talk) 00:06, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spider-Man should be listed on the X-Men page because he is a instructor at the Jean Grey School 

message: There was recently a large addition of characters to the template, and specifically none of the characters added were ever considered full X-Men, and some of the villains were very minor in the grand scheme of things.  If I have to, I will go through each one, one by one, but I'm not the one trying to add these characters so I don't have to defend it.  I'm starting this section though to hopefully open a discussion so that the users in question won't keep edit warring and finally discuss it beyond an edit summary that says "leave it alone". 71.121.241.118 (talk) 22:44, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recent proposed additions 

message: So a few of you are happy with Emma Frost being listed as a member even though she started off as a X-Men villain, but you object to Magneto's inclusion, even though the real Magneto hasn't been a proper X-Men villain in more then a decade and has joined the team on and off? I would like to add that Lady Mastermind is listed as a member, but not a villain even though she betrayed the team and continued her villainous role after a brief stint with the team. Where's the consensus on that? Haleth (talk) 05:32, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Original team section 

message: I think we should consider how inflated the "Recurring Members" section is getting. There is an entire article on "List of X-Men Members" which should be used for an exhaustive list.  The inclusion of many of these characters is extremely questionable, as they appear on ancillary teams (like students at the institute) OR they had a very brief tenure or appearance as an X-Man.  Perhaps we should put in a criteria that a character must have put in a minimum of twenty (20) appearances as an X-Man for inclusion. This would eliminate obscure characters like Petra, Wolf Cub, and others, which would make this list much more reasonable. Negasonic Teenage Warhead to my knowledge was never an X-Man and does nothing other than lengthening this list. And there is no rhyme or reason why some institute students are on this list but not others. Oopla32606 (talk) 12:52, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Recurring Members 

message: The "characters" section lists the founding members, which doesn't necessarily correspond to the most relevant, popular, or up-to-date roster of the team. It's generally well-accepted that the original X-Men run isn't particularly well-regarded, and so the most "relevant" members are either the early-Claremont or early-90s lineups, or even the present lineup. Is there a better way that the characters represented in this section could be selected? In my view, this section should either list the current members of the flagship team (Cyclops, Jean, Iceman, Synch, Firestar, Havok, Forge, Magik), or the most "popular"/"relevant" characters (which is more subject to interpretation, but would likely include longtime members such as Wolverine, Storm, Nightcrawler, etc.).
