I admit that I'm the one who got myself into this mess but can we please not have this turn into a fight, if you want to argue with me over who the protagonist is go message me on tumblr and we can go argue there, I really don't want to ruin everyone else's fun with pointless arguments after this.

All I'm going to say right here in the wiki thread is that I'm looking at it in release order, in which case Allen has been pretty consistently a character of importance and various conflicts and questions surrounding him have been major things since the very start of the series, whereas Elluka literally didn't exist until a decent amount of content had already come out and mothy decided to actually start connecting things and solidify the overall plot. In chronological order Elluka and Allen are undoubtably equal in protagonist-ness, with Elluka being the protagonist of the first half and Allen being the protagonist of the latter half, but in terms of release order Elluka only really showed up and became a protagonist about halfway through the series' run thus far.

It feels incredibly unfair to Allen and his character to act like he revolves entirely around Rillianne (and no, he doesn't, pricecheck's already debunked it), or that he is somehow a mere decoy protagonist for The Real Star Of The Show. I get being frustrated that the series tends to spiral back into SoE all the time but you really shouldn't downplay Allen's role and characterization for the sake of bashing him. And that's all I'm going to say on the matter, if you want to continue this argument take it to tumblr or something.

To everyone else, I sincerely apologize for this. I actually like Allen and am excited to see some long-time questions finally answered, so I'm a bit frustrated to see people complain that it's Allen again when this is something that I and so many other people have been waiting for for years.
