How will the categorization work? Right now all the "legitimate" emperors in the List are in Top-importance, while the "ambiguous" ones are uncategorized. Personally I find weird that co-emperors are in the "Top" when most of them are barely acknowledge, but whatever. The project scope says also "families and dynasties, and other various heirs and usurpers". I was having some ideas but I'm not sure. Tintero21 (talk) 17:22, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Importance is supposed to be gauged by how well known or recognizable they ought to be to the average reader, rather than a sense of literal importance they held in their own time. For example, Vitellius and Otho might be "High" or "Mid" tier because the Year of the Four Emperors is fairly well known as Roman events go and they are key actors in it. On the other hand, Marcus Aurelius Marius should be low as an unimportant ruler amidst an equally well known Crisis of the Third Century as emperor of the Gallic Empire.
