Male and Female columns

I think you ought to put a header on each column to this affect. *I* didn't notice it! And *THESE* days, with all the weird new names for ALL sexes, I think it is absolutely necessary to make this clear. Hayford Peirce (talk) 20:44, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

OK done. I didn't think it was necessary at first; then the list started to get out of hand... John Stephenson (talk) 14:32, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

May I simplify the instructions for putting in the definitions of Actors? (I find it IMPOSSIBLE to put line breaks in here!)

Right now, when you click on the link, this is what you get:

  • "(Delete this note, including the enclosing quotation marks, after reading.)
  • 1. In the space above, paste everything *between* the 'nowiki' tags, i.e. from '<noinc...': <nowiki>The {{subpages}} template is designed to be used within article clusters and their related pages.
    However, it cannot function on sub-subpage talk pages..
    Please continue discussion at Talk:Acting/Catalogs, or return to the A-B subsubpage.<nowiki>
  • 2. Write the definition here (maximum one sentence of 150 characters, ignoring formatting characters). Don't include the term defined in the definition itself, and start the text with a capital letter. 10-30 words are usually enough.
