Character lists[edit]
Hey Kaltric,
Just having a look at your recent edit to the Malicious Intent article and I am a bit confused as to what exactly the plan is. I am always happy to see the secondary characters from the Clan era novels getting added in because they are often over looked. BUT I have just checked my copy and some of the characters you have removed are in the book so whats going on with that? Also I am not sure what is going on with how you are organising them, I think but I am not sure, you might be doing it by faction for some reason?--Dmon (talk) 18:20, 18 September 2023 (EDT)
- Which characters have been deleted? I only changed the order AFAIK. But perhaps something happened when I had my bluescreen. I've then switched to working in a TXT file and would only change something when I'm through.
- Guess I shouldn't work online with a work in progress. Didn't thought someone else would actually have a look at it during the time.
- Yes, the order is by group and then in order of appearance. But at the end of the novel dividing them doesn't make much sense anymore anyway.
- I couldn't find rules or a guideline. What is preferred? Alphabetical? And I'm not sure about the "mentioned" ones except for those that are mentioned a lot of times (like Ulric Kerensky, Phelan Kell.
- Personally I look at the wiki page while reading the novels so I can characters & tech. And I just noted for the last books that a lot was missing, even really promiment stuff. So I started adding them... --Kaltric (talk) 09:54, 19 September 2023 (EDT)
- I would recommend alphabetizing them within whatever groups you decide just to make it easier to find the characters later on, especially for people who haven't read the story or don't remember them in story order after time. --Csdavis715 (talk) 10:01, 19 September 2023 (EDT)
Suggestion[edit]
Hi Kaltric,
The enhanced character lists you are creating are a little difficult to follow. A suggestion: Place the important information (character's name) in front, with title and other information following. E.g.:
- Adams, Sergeant of the Chaos Irregulars' Footmen
- Michael Alextep, Duke of Noisiel (mentioned)
- Elizabeth "Forty Whack" Borden of the Chaos Irregulars, piloting a Hatchetman
- Dora Campbell, Lieutenant of the Chaos Irregulars' 1st Company's Gamma Lance, piloting a Vulcan (mentioned)
- Carson of the Chaos Irregulars of 2nd Company's Beta lance, piloting a HER-5S Hermes II
- Cynthia Josepha "CJ" Cherry of the Chaos Irregulars' specialized lance, piloting a FS9-S1 Firestarter
- Reema Chowla, Lieutenant, commander of the Chaos Irregulars' 1st Company's Alpha Lance, piloting a Mongoose
