Forums: Index > Watercooler > Character Articles
Similarly to the Character Profiles topic, this is basically just me moving the discussion from the main page's talk section. Leaving from where left there, here are some of the suggestion I'd have for the future changes in the character articles:
- Image galleries - Like the name suggests, it would contain most of the screenshosts, animations, and official art. Right now, articles are kinda littered with official art and low-quality graphics from game (like cut sprites itself), so I figured it would be about time for these.
- Relationships - Either as a sub-page or as a paragraph, perhaps including tabber function, maybe? Right now character relationships are really more of just some vague mentions in the character table. This really doesn't properly cover some major relationships, which are quite often important in the events in the series
- Character portraits -
I thought that showing whole body makes character image unnecessarily big, all the while it's too small to actually see it very well. I think we should try to either use mugshots from the characters in question, or cut the official art, so that it shows just face, or at least, their body chest up.(in progress) - Age listing - That was an issue for quite a while and I think maybe we should go for something similar to the "last known status" or "occupation" sections. I already put something like this for Phoenix Wright,
which allowed to quickly deduce his birthday(nevermind, I think I screwed this up) Would be convenient for the othe characters as well, don't you think? - Nicknames and aliases clean-up - I believe we should, in short, get rid of all the "sir"s and "Mr. Attorney"s and keep this for actual nicknames and aliases such as "Nick", "Franzy" or "Laurice Deauxnim". You know, the kind of names that are actually used on a regular basics meant as actual nicknames. We should also find a more fitting for IDs, maybe? While they are worth noting, I think they feel off in there... What should follow would be turning it back into a regular table, not a collapsible one. When it comes to pages like Phantom or Viola Cadaverini, one can get real tired of this.
I believe the points 4 and 5 are the only ones new here, so I'd preferably hear the new opinions about these. However, if you have something to say about the older suggestions, something that wasn't said before, feel free to address them: this is this thread's purpose after all. ^^ - Sligneris (talk) 18:30, May 23, 2014 (UTC)
