Well, the category itself was created all the way back in 2014, but if you're referring to the way they're presented as character articles, then some of them are sort of in contradiction to one another, since Mark never planned some of them out, like Darkiplier, to be separate characters from his own persona. If I recall correctly, Darkiplier was just a fan umbrella term used to describe Mark's offbeat actions and antics, before he eventually adapted this and made him into a standalone character. I think it depends on the context, but we've started to treat them as separate characters at this point.
