[edit] 2008

• August 26: Consensus was reached regarding setting standards for character articles, with the guidance to be developed by the BattleTechWiki:Project Biographies team. An allowance for deletion was included. Proposal here.
• August 26: Consensus was reached regarding the authorization of additional categories for character articles on BTW, with the proposal passing. The decision: a) all character articles will be included in Category: Characters (as the parent category), b) that all character categories be tracked at BattleTechWiki:Project Biographies, in order to keep, "standards consistent and the categories themselves under easy and constant review." Proposal here.
• August 26: Consensus was reached to rename Category:People to Category:Characters. This also decided that all previous characters removed from Category:People would be returned to the newly renamed category and that all future characters would also be included. Proposal here.
