Character Page Formatting

I like it, much cleaner than the old "formatting", if just a tad bit basic.

I was thinking of adding in a section on each characters actual personality ("characteristics"?) as a whole rather than just having it be a small blurb at the beginning (or would that be redundant)?

Also, maybe we could condense the weird "Past/Present" sections into one whole "Plot" section seperated by their acts (or maybe go farther and add the chapters)?

Another neat section to add would be a reflection on the themes and lessons present in that characters route.

And finally, a really nice section to add would be a development section where we can go into depth on how the character evolved during the development and revision phases ("conception and design"?).

Any input would be appreciated Mintvanilla (talk) 08:57, January 18, 2013 (UTC)

I agree on the personality section, but I had no idea what to put in the blurb otherwise... Yeah, I had the feeling that I didn't want to duplicate redundant information. As for the plot section, I'd like to keep the character pages about the characters, rather than the story of their routes like we had before, and have the direct plot elsewhere. Your suggestion about the chapters and all would be ideally going in the separated plot articles.

As for Past and Present... I just didn't really know how to treat it. I had a few options of 'History', 'Background', and so on; I'm now leaning towards combining the two sections into a 'Background section'. I love the idea of the development section, but I have no direct knowledge of that so I'll have to leave that for now. Also, respecting Aura and delta (and assumedly the other devs)'s wishes, I don't really want to document the leaked alpha of the game, which I fear we might have to do if we include it...

I think I'll make a page to draft out and finalise the format we want for the character pages. Probably Project:Formatting/Characters. I'll put in the page format as it is at present, and we can all edit it to work it out. Lastly, about the place for 'main members' to chat... part of the purpose of a wiki, imo, is that there aren't really 'main members'; I'm happy to just use the Forum:Watercooler section. — Galrion (T|C) 16:19, January 18, 2013 (UTC)
