I don't know the best way to organise articles about the people and events surrounding the papal crisis of 767–8. Obviously, some figures are inseparable from the events: that is, what is known about the events constitutes our whole knowledge about them. Toto is such a case. For other figures it's not the same: an article larger than this one could easily be written for the primicerius Christopher. We already have an Antipope Constantine II article, but I didn't want to put this information, skewed to deal with Toto and only events directly bearing on him, there and leave behind an article that does not deal completely with his (few) papal acts and with his end. In short, there could be a lot of articles with significant overlap, or we could bury individuals like Toto, Constantine, and Christopher into a single article arbitrarily chosen upon.
