Warriors Wiki talk:Characters

Next Content Drive

 * So, we haven't had a formal content drive in a little while- I put up the TFA characters one quite a while ago, and by now most characters have their history filled in. (It didn't have a lot of emphasis on it anyway...) So I think it's time we picked our next Content Drive. Personally, I'd like to do Cinderpelt- Since we just were forced to demote her from Gold, it'd be nice to be able to work her back up to the standard again. Do people like Cinderpelt, have other ideas, etc.?

I like the idea of Cinderpelt. Was planning on getting her up to scratch anyway as I felt sorry after her demotion. =) ∑✐+ᖱ =  ᶊ⍶ᵰᗫᎽ  22:31, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

I agree. Cinderpelt should be next. But what will happen after that? If everybody is working on her, she going to get back up pretty quickly. How about the main characters of the Original series? (e.g., Sandstorm, Firestar, Dustpelt, Cinderpelt, but not Bluestar or Graystripe, I should think) Maplefern May StarClan light your pathHow's the Prey running? 15:00, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

Well, that's worth considering, but I think we could spend one or two weeks working on individual articles and get them pretty much Gold-ready, and just switch whenever they're done. I don't think we'll make as much progress on any of them if there are multiple ones. (Which is why the last one knda failed XD) I realize now that the point of the Content drive is to focus everything on one article. It's a good idea though, to do some other OS characters after her, since a lot of them could easily be pushed up to Gold level witha bit of work (of course some need to be featured, but yeah...) Sorry for my incoherent ramblings, I was sick today and I'm still shaking it off. insan TA STE  THE  RAIN BOW  eu lar  22:12, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

I got snowed in today. :) What about characters from TFA? ♥Mouse♥  ♥Heart♥  18:02, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Washington got 20"!!!!!!!! sorry OT there. TFA characters were the last drive. I agree we need a single character. ∑✐+ᖱ =  ᶊ⍶ᵰᗫᎽ  21:27, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with Sandy, what character needs the most work on their article. Whichever does, I think that should be our content drive. ღ♥Fire-Heart♥ღ  22:49, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

So, if there are no objections, Cindepelt will be our next one, and once she's done we can move onto some of the others Maple suggested. insan TA STE  THE  RAIN BOW  eu lar  23:01, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Yah. After I posted my above comment, I looked up and I was like, I'm an idiot. Sandy- 20 inches? We got six! :( ♥Mouse♥  ♥Heart♥  23:52, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Alright. I will post her now, and compile a list of concerns on her talk page to be worked on. Let the content driving begin! insan TA <font color="#FFCC33">STE  <font color="#00CC33">THE  <font color="#0033CC">RAIN <font color="#6633FF">BOW  <font color="#660099">eu lar  23:08, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Put up the concerns on her talk page, if you see any more, feel free to add them. I can probably cite her family completely later tonight, though. <font color="#CC0000">insan <font color="#FF6600">TA <font color="#FFCC33">STE  <font color="#00CC33">THE  <font color="#0033CC">RAIN <font color="#6633FF">BOW  <font color="#660099">eu lar  23:18, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Brackenfur - Silver Nomination
The cat with most apprentices, ^^, doesn't have a silver apprentice. :O  Saint Ice   ♣  19:29, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

He looks good but some of his NP and PoT could use a bit more expansion. I could work on that some.-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 01:27, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Ironically, he needs citations for all of his apprentices. Also, as Artimas said, his history could be much more detailed. For supporting characters like him, it's best to list even minor appearances just so it can be complete. (For examples of this amount of detail see Sootfur, Rainwhisker, Swiftpaw) I can also help with that tomorrow if needed  insaneular    Talk  01:32, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

I'll work on it.  Trout leap  01:02, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

Does anyone have a copy of Sunrise and Rising Storm? I don't have those books,  Trout leap  17:32, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

I can go through for those two, Ice. <font color="#8e322e">→ <font color="#96aeb6">Sky <font color="#96aeb6">feather  18:15, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

I went ahead and did all of New Prophecy and half of Power of Three, since I had planned on working on him later anyway. You might want to check over the Original Series and the other three in Power of Three, though, I just covered the ones that needed desperate help. <font color="#8e322e">→ <font color="#96aeb6">Sky <font color="#96aeb6">feather  23:30, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

Nah, Sky. You can stop now, I'll do the rest. Thanks for your help, though. Icy Invading the fire 22:42, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Fading Echoes Browse Inside Policy

 * Woohoo, Sandy gave me a link to the HarperCollins Browse inside for Fading Echoes! Here is the link if you guys want to read it. We'll be using the same spoiler policy as we did for TFA, since that worked quite well: we will only add spoilers from the Allegiances (until the book comes out), such as name changes. Nothing from the actual book. If you see people adding things from the book, then just remove them until the release. This is so people who don't want spoilers before it comes out won't get them unintentionally. Is this cool with everyone, any questions or concerns? (Note: Don't post any spoilers on talk pages or anything either; since some users could still stumble across them when they don't want to. Try and keep any discussion about the events of it to the IRC or other sites)  insaneular    Talk  21:40, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

I saw all the name changes to Blossompaw and Briarpaw and those cats and I was like, "WHAT?!!" I need to read the thing....-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 23:09, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

-facepalm- I'm an idiot! :(  Trout leap  23:11, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

Nah, it was just a mistake Ice, don't feel bad :)  insaneular    Talk  23:12, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

A Clan in Need browse inside has also been released, but I think it will easier with not adding information to articles since it's a manga. But, we get to see Crowfeather in mini version^^. <font color="#8e322e">→ <font color="#96aeb6">Sky <font color="#96aeb6">feather  00:22, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

I can't wait til they come out! Of course I'm completely broke at the moment but I get allwence today so. Plus: Crowkit+Leafkit+Squirrelkit=awww!-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 18:28, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Brindleclaw - Silver Nomination
Well, she has a description citation and a lot of history. Comments? Maplefern Carrying the torch... 23:45, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

She looks good to me. It could be a little more detailed but mothing much.

sorry, I"m SUPER stickler for complete content. She looks fine.-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 23:55, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

She could be a tad detailed, I guess.  Trout leap  00:00, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

I agree that she could use a bit of a touch up in that area. Can someone who has CotC with them just quickly go over her and fill in a few more details? insaneular   Talk  04:46, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Aspentail - Silver Nomination
I don't see anything wrong with it really. Her description is cited, and I added a bit more to her history. Goldfall Meet me at the end of the rainbow! 08:33, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

She looks good.-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 18:30, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Is it possible to detail her history any more, or is that really all she did, say that one line to Splashheart? To someone like me, who hasn't read it in a while, it seems unclear what she did, so it could possibly be expanded or reworded? insaneular   Talk  20:18, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

I think she said liem 2 lines. One was "look out, behind you." and the other was the one about elders and kits.-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 21:46, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

I tried to expand her history a bit, but I'm in bed at the moment and to lazy to get up XD Goldfall Meet me at the end of the rainbow! 08:53, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Larksong - Silver nomination
I think Larksong is ready for silver. A good amount of history and a discription ciation. Maplefern Carrying the torch... 19:12, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

It looks like most of her appearances, since I know she wasn't a major character. But, can you do a quick run through to make sure nothing was missed for her appearances? <font color="#8e322e">→ <font color="#96aeb6">Sky <font color="#96aeb6">feather  19:55, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

I think that's it, unless somebody else sees something? I'll also go over her apperances tonight. Maplefern Carrying the torch... 20:00, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

Spottedleaf- Silver Nomination
Spottedleaf has her appearnces in order and I saw nothing worng. She good?-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 18:30, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

She needs a citation for Thrushpelt being her mentor, and I think her history could be expanded a fair bit, most notably for Into the Wild. Considering it's one of only two books where we see her alive, I think it should be more detailed. All the info that's listed now is pretty much what you'd find in a plot summary about her. insaneular   Talk  20:18, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

I'll exapand it some, thanks Insane.-- Artimas Hunter Welcome to Bramblepath's Den 21:48, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Brightspirit's Mercy Characters
I just created that category and added it to every character in the play (Besides Mistyfoot, of course.), and I was wondering, did I do it right? =D <span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:Blue; background:Black; border:0px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Blue;">Shistar Mai Talk Page 20:48, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Looks to me like you did. And I just realized that I forgot to put it on Mistyfoot for you (Fail). I'll do it right now. insaneular   Talk  21:03, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. :)

Now for my daily question! LOL! Whenever I try to add refs to the Leopardstar page (Ones for her apprentices and mate) and click 'Preview', the Charcat box is all messed up. :/ Does that just happen on the Preview, or am I doing something wrong? o_0 <span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:Blue; background:Black; border:0px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Blue;">Shistar Mai Talk Page 21:19, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

You must be just leaving out something in the coding... are you sure you had a at the end of the citation, and/or two curly brackets (}}) at the end of the Charcat? Either of those could mess up how it looks. insaneular   Talk  21:21, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I'll make sure I have those this time. ^_^ <span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:Blue; background:Black; border:0px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Blue;">Shistar Mai Talk Page 21:23, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Yup, it worked. x3 <span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:Blue; background:Black; border:0px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Blue;">Shistar Mai Talk Page 21:26, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Also, I just added all the Characters in the Leader Election to The Clans Decide characters. (Except for Mistyfoot again. x3) But I need to know; If a cat is mentioned, does that make them a Character in the Play? Because Leafpool, Tallstar and Tigerstar are mentioned, but not seen. ^_^ <span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:Blue; background:Black; border:0px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Blue;">Shistar Mai Talk Page 13:57, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

I'll add Mistyfoot, and I can't quite remember our policy on mentions counting as characters or not... (some leader I am). I would think not, since they don't actually appear, but... maybe I've forgotten? insaneular   Talk  20:38, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Isn't there a page for Project Character Policies somewhere? <span style="font-family:Century Gothic; color:Blue; background:Black; border:0px dashed; -moz-border-raiuds: 1em; color:Blue;">Shistar Mai Talk Page 21:11, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

There isn't, mostly because most of the characters are done in the same style and there a lot of people to monitor edits and fix them. However, there are some things on the project page that could be considered policies. Anyway, cats that are mentioned do not 'appear' in that book. Otherwise, for characters like Tigerstar, they would have a section for each book whenever someone mentions his name but he doesn't appear in that book. <font color="#8e322e">→ <font color="#96aeb6">Sky <font color="#96aeb6">feather  22:42, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Articles
Do we even need separate articles for the really minor characters in Code of the Clans that aren't mentioned anywhere else, don't have a physical description, and are maybe only mentioned for a couple of sentences? Just because this is a Warriors Wiki doesn't mean that we should be an indiscriminate collection of Warriors factoids. Maybe we should just have a page "List of minor characters" for these cats. Opinions? <font color="#000000">Quoth the Raven, <font color="#960018">Nevermore  02:04, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

They're still characters, and they still deserve an article. We are dedicated to (among other things) creating detailed descriptions of every character's role in the series, however small that may be, so we can't just lump small characters into a list. I understand where you're coming from but why be less thorough than we can be? insaneular   Talk  02:06, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

I have to agree with Insane. We've just done it this way for so long, it seems odd to change now. I know some wikis do the list of minor characters and what not, but we just make all characters into separate articles. <font color="#8e322e">→ <font color="#96aeb6">Sky <font color="#96aeb6">feather  05:09, March 13, 2010 (UTC)
