It seems like the "Elder siblings" and "Younger siblings" columns suffer problems when there are twins. Might I suggest collapsing them into a single "Siblings" column, which would also save you a bit of horizontal space since not that many templates have siblings in the first place, let alone both kinds? XD

Their template is "Hilary". I put them in just yesterday iirc.

Ahhh. Then I might have to update my version. :)

EDIT: Yup! Updated and they appear. Yay!

Spring!Aya's world is listed as "Door" but in the roleplay she names it "Pantheon". Should I update the spreadsheet? Or is Door her version of Tayane and Pantheon is her new world?

Nicknames for worlds and template-instances are never set in stone until they appear in thread (and even then they can be subject to change). Spring has named the world with all the gods in it Pantheon in-thread, so that's now what it's called.

There seems to be an slightly confusing inconsistency with the way the worlds are listed in the public spreadsheet: the Effulgence characters are all listed with their original world even when they no longer live there, but the Incandescence characters seem to be being listed with the world they currently live in. Either that or Chamomile covers both Ice’s world and New Kystle, which seems plausible even though Pantheon only covers Idania’s world and not Ayabel’s original one… (and similarly for Pixiethreads, “Lizard Pants” certainly seems to cover both the main characters’ home worlds, since it is what is listed for Zeviana too).

That said, this probably won’t get too confusing unless Incandescence ends up with multiple versions of a template living in the same world (as has happened in Effulgence with various Jokers); so I’m not sure whether it’s something worth changing.

Yeah. I think that's mostly because the Incandescence characters haven't yet named their worlds of origin; I'm hoping that maybe when they get around to having disambiguating nicknames for all their planes, we can update the terminology in the spreadsheet to reflect that.

As for Pixiethreads, a similar problem exists, with even less chance of anyone in-character fixing it anytime soon because pixiethreads isn't set up to conglomerate yet.

Is there a way to read the spreadsheet in view-only mode even when I have editing permission? I just found that trying to sort it by a different column (in this case, characters by world instead of by template) updates the sorting globally, which is Bad, but I still want to be able to look at it sorted by different things. Downloading a local copy is also a last-resort option, I guess, but I'd rather not do it if there are alternatives, because keeping it updated would be a nightmare.
