Warriors Wiki talk:Characters

regarding the capitalisation in the charcats
so since the categories of stuff was changed (like RiverClan Cats to RiverClan cats, etc.) it made me remember the charcats. with the listinf of stuff like medicine cats, shouldn't they really be listed as Medicine cat instead of like Medicine Cat? the same with affiliations like the guardian cats, who really shouldn't be capitalised. we make sure to capitalise stuff properly like shadowclan, so why not these? I think this would be the right place to bring it up since it affects character pages but idk lmao... 08:18, December 21, 2017 (UTC)

Agreed. We need consistency if we're to be professional.

If categories are changed, then I don't see any reason as to why not.Stealth f🔥re ❤Warriors Forever!❤  09:11, December 21, 2017 (UTC)

alao before I forget, should this be applied to character article names like Graypool's Kit and The Old She-cat as well? since these aren't actually true names, but rather placeholders. 11:15, December 21, 2017 (UTC)

bump 22:22, December 31, 2017 (UTC)

Since there are no more comments, I guess we can go ahead and implement the changes.Stealth f🔥re ❤Warriors Forever!❤  00:25, January 11, 2018 (UTC)

so I believe pages like darktail's group, slash's group, any of the early settler groups, the guardian cats and maybe the early settlers pages need to be renamed to remove the capitalisation that isnt present in the books. as well as the characters like graypool's kit. 06:38, January 12, 2018 (UTC)

Can you guys be a little more specific? Like, can you give an example of a character and what it would have to be named to? Sorry, I am not really following along with the discussion. 05:35, January 16, 2018 (UTC)

idk to me it feels like the actual title of an article should be capitalised considering it's the title, while stuff like categories and mentions inside said articles should be lowercase.

I think this would be a good idea especially when writing descriptions or plot synopsis or within the charcats themselves. But I do think it wouldn't look as professional if the title of the actual page is not capitalized. Like I think "Medicine cat:" instead of "Medicine Cat:" looks fine, but The guardian cats instead of The Guardian Cats doesn't make it look like a title of an article. Of course, writing it out without caps is fine within an article or charcat, just not as the article title. 16:20 Tue Jan 16 2018 16:20, January 16, 2018 (UTC)

and u couldntve brought this up earlier lmao? like when the actual convo was going on? if you feel that way, you can be the ones to change it all back, but things like the kit in Graypools kit shouldnt b touched, theyre not even true names. 17:35, January 16, 2018 (UTC)

Like idk dude it looks like the convo is still going on there are two comments from earlier today talking about it and you haven't archived it but go ahead and act like a child about me specifically giving my opinion. 17:44 Tue Jan 16 2018

don't see how after "implement the changes" is during but u do u I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ anyways, the specific alterations for the charcat are Medicine Cat to Medicine cat, Medicine Cat Apprentice to Medicine cat apprentice, and possibly Cave-Guard to Cave-guard and Prey-Hunter to Prey-hunter. not sure if there's any others,maybeonly senior warrior but dunno about that 18:04, January 16, 2018 (UTC)

oh and possible StarClan Resident and Dark Forest Residents to StarClan resident and Dark Foret resident. 19:55, January 16, 2018 (UTC)

Uh person who commented before Skt, probably should have mentioned that earlier when OP was actually asking for comments... 19:56, January 16, 2018 (UTC)

Can I ask why The Guardian Cats was renamed? It should still be The guardian cats. No matter if it looks incorrect article wise, it is correct grammar wise. 22:45, January 16, 2018 (UTC)

that was renamed by someone random earlier and I couldn't change it back. 22:47, January 16, 2018 (UTC)

Breezey: David was already given permission from Stealth to make the changes, since during that time, the discussion had been concluded due to lack of comments. Icy had just asked for some clarification, which I gave to her last night when I noticed her edit. It wasn't as much of a comment as it was a "explain exactly what's going on, since I'm confused" comment. It was fine to implement the changes and they were done before Icy's comment. I hadn't gotten a chance to archive the discussion due to my third shift schedule and me being sick, otherwise I'd have gotten it already.

However, it's not like you can't continue to discuss this if you feel something's wrong; which the page names bug me to no end.. but I'm not going to argue that one, since they are technically grammatically correct, and I'd have no basis other than it driving me nuts. =P

Jaysnow: that was uncalled for. Breezey isn't active on this wiki as much as she used to be. Chances are she didn't even know the discussion existed before she checked today. There is nothing forbidding any user from commenting even after the changes made in a discussion are implemented into the articles. She is well within her rights to do so. Telling someone that their comments should have been made while OP was asking for them is just ignorant.

Re: Tribe cats. I actually think they're called "Cave-Guard" in canon, though, aren't they? Unless that's just been something I misread...although if they're listed that way in the allegiances of a book, but not written that way in the narrative, would we go with the allegiances or the narrative? Because I know they capitalize just for organization's sake (like using "Leader" at the top of a list instead of "leader").

cave guard and that are capitalised in the allegiances and not in the rest. 02:31, January 17, 2018 (UTC)

So then my question is this: are we going to take the narrative itself over the allegiances? Because honestly, that's fine with me. I'm just curious and I want everyone to be on the same page...and we could probably make a note of this somewhere in the guidelines once we're done @ Stealth? Just for future reference?

allegiances works pretty much the same as out charcats, so I think thatd b good 02:42, January 17, 2018 (UTC)

K my bad then. d: 03:55, January 17, 2018 (UTC)

Yeah allegiances is always fully capital (like LEADER or WARRIORS because it's a title for a list) except I'm looking at the allegiances for Sign of the Moon right now, the to-be's have the position they're training for in brackets and it's all lower case (prey-hunter, instead of PREY-HUNTERS), and the same thing is in the prologue so I'm assuming the rest of the book is the same.Stealth f🔥re ❤Warriors Forever!❤  04:35, January 17, 2018 (UTC)

So after a bit of research it looks like Wikipedia and Community Central both title articles as proposed (though Community Central can also be little inconsistent). However, UESP uses capitals on the typical words in the title. Since those are probably our best examples of professional wikis and they use different titling I honestly think we can go with whatever. I just depends on who we would rather emulate. Apparently, writing an encyclopedia isn't a common endeavor among authors looking at online resources, so I'm unable to find anything about article titles in the usual writing formats. 5:16 Wed Jan 17 2018

Any suggestions?Stealth f🔥re ❤Warriors Forever!❤  00:26, January 11, 2018 (UTC)

Yellowfang?

I like Yellowfang, or Spiresight, but I know Spiresight still has some history needed to finish I think. C o s m o s n e s s 🐾 <font face="Papyrus" color="3a3ce4" style="font-size:10px;">#team litten 00:37, January 11, 2018 (UTC)
