and there are currently two variations that have been widely used, as well as others which have been proposed, thus

Creating this thread to hash out a resolution in a single specific place rather than several.

When the "Races and Species:" subsection was first introduced, it was initially agreed that hybrids such as Thor Odinson would be coded as: * / Hybrid ...which generates Category:Elder Gods/Appearances and Category:Asgardians/Appearances.

Or a second example, Carol Danvers, was coded as: * / Hybrid ...which generates Category:Homo sapiens/Appearances and Category:Kree/Appearances.

Subsequently at least one member expressed concerns about how we'd been handling hybrids in a few places around the database, and there arose a second variation on how to code which has also been widely used: * Elder God/Asgardian Hybrid ...or... * Human/Kree Hybrid ...which generate no categories.

Other proposals have included coding as: *  *  ...or... *  *  ...which would generate exclusive categories that would require either the creation of hybrid articles or redirects to the associated category.

Anyway, feel free to provide additional potential solutions and debate the pros and cons of each so that hopefully we can agree how best to proceed.
