This is a suggestion for replacing character_plots in the characters schema of our wiki struct with characters_plots and character_plots_all where the current one lists only the plots characters are currently in now (e.g. for plot rosters) and the _all one lists every plot a character has been part of, for historical purposes. The reasoning is that the current field causes confusion on what to put in there (current or all?) and we end up with the field getting blanked by GMs when characters leave a plot so they're not clogging up the list of characters in the plot. Having two fields would mean we could list what characters have been in a plot historically more easily without sacrificing keeping the lists updated.

If you like this suggestion, please give it your upvote so I can see if it's wanted.
How it would work:
- Existing field character_plots would be used for current plots but the labeling would be updated to say current plots only. The field name would not be changed because we don't want to break existing templates or tables on pages.
- Character_plots_all would be added for the historical version and would be filled out by active players and inactive ones would be filled on a back-burner basis usually when we're trying to make historical lists of player characters on pages for plots.
