I'm suggesting that instead of visiting a bunch of images with Image Subject Needed or Missing Characters on them, and taking the time to add "Unidentified Subject" in the order you have decided is the order they appear, you could either not bother to do that, or figure out who is in the images, thereby not wasting your own time.

You could do those things instead of creating an image task category you're never going to use - because if you had intended to use it to determine who was missing, you probably would have just figured out who was missing instead of just adding a bunch of "Unidentified Subject" instances in the first place.

So, in cases where an uploader hasn't figured out who a character was (if it was me, you can trust that I went to great efforts to find out who they were, with the resources available to me), I'm not going to bust their balls, but I will certainly bust yours, if all you're going to do is fill it out with MORE ways to say "this image isn't filled out enough."

In cases where you are failing to go to great efforts to find out who a character is, with all the resources available to you, but somehow still have the time and energy to waste on ordering unidentified subjects in an image - your balls ought to be pulverized.

In cases where you uploaded the image, and couldn't ID all of the characters, again, I bust your balls only slightly less because you are bothering to go back and fill the image with more ways to indicate that you couldn't ID the characters, which ostensibly would be helpful to someone else, maybe.

But your energies would be better put to use on other things.

Like, say, dealing with this.
