Under the character of Val on "Supergirl," you said:
You said: We don't have a character biography yet. Hang in there, or go ahead and contribute one.
Well? How do I contribute one?
Right next to where it says the character name, 'Val' in this case, there's a box with something that looks like a pencil inside. if you click it it'll take you to the update page.
Direct link here.
There's also an edit button at the bottom of the page. A green oval with the word "Edit" in it, and the same pencil symbol Aidan described above. it's next to the red overal "Delete" button, just below "Episode 21: Not Kansas (Jun 4, 2018)".

Standard Contributors wouldn't see the Delete button ;)
Noted. That's the problem with having certain features only visible to certain levels: you don't necessarily know what different levels can and can't see.

Would you like to make the delete button available to everyone? ;)

For characters and character bios? I don't see any compelling reason not to.
Gazza directed me to the user permissions page, but it's a little vague on details. So maybe "regular" users can't delete bios and such. But if they can add information, they can add bad/bogus/dummy information over good and do essentially the same thing.
There is no "delete summary" button; the button is for the character itself.
Is there a way to make the "contribute one" in "We don't have a biography for Val yet. Hang in there, or go ahead and contribute one." an active link as well? For people as well as characters ... might encourage a tad more contribution from the users. I can't image it would be a difficult amendment to implement.
I know, I know, there are already two methods to do this on the page but, not everyone thinks the same or perceives things the same ... what may be obvious to me is not so obvious to someone else and vice versa.
