The idea about having them required for the first season might not go down well either, because for many people, their first season is often their worst as they are trying out a new idea and have general inexperience when writing fanons. I think if some sort of requirement is needed when it comes to bios, short descriptions on the main page would suffice. Especially if it's someone's debut season where they likely don't have hundreds of ideas on the fanon to begin with.

But yeah I do agree something should be done about this. Maybe something like short character descriptions that some people do on their pages already could suffice as a replacement to character pages if that's what the author decides its better for their fanon. We say "bios", but short descriptions are essentially what the minimum requirement is right now. The policy page states that, at minimum, a 50-word paragraph describing the castaway is what is required. People also don't have to create character pages if they don't want to, all the policy states is that these "bios" or descriptions need to be posted, but the user can choose how they want to go about that.
