elanthipedia:Manual of Style/NPCs
This page is part of the Elanthipedia's Manual of Style section. This page lists information for the standardization of articles and templates, as set down by community consensus.
- If you disagree with or have suggestions for improvement of the standards, please post on the accompanying talk page and give ample time for debate before making any edits. Failure to follow this proceedure will result in removal of your edits.
This page is for discussing the standards associated with NPCs, both GM-run and atmospheric, as well as the catagories associated with them.
Page Titles
NOTE: This section of the style manual is under discussion on the talk page and has not been finalized
Page titles should be the full name of the individual, both first, last, and any indicators of rank (senior, junior, the third) as necessary. It should not include titles, such as baron or lord, nor should the main title include nicknames. When at all possible, avoid making pages for two individuals, even if they are closely related.
Redirects
When they are unique, redirects should be present for the first name alone, as well as any well known nicknames or titles ("The Reedemeer" for example). In the rare case where the first names are not unique, disambigous pages should be set up.
Categorization
Each page should be entered into the proper category for the NPCs race (or placed in Category:Unknown Race when unavailable), subrace (River Elf, etc), guild (known and applicable), any group affiliation (such as Moon Mage Sect), and shop owner if applicable.
