Warriors Wiki talk:Characters

Littlecloud - Content Drive
For the first time in over a year, the Content Drive has been changed. The focus is now on Littlecloud, the well-known ShadowClan medicine cat. I'm asking that each member try and contribute something to his page so we can make his page so much better. There are too many Coming Soons and not enough information in some sections. Hopefully we'll be able to fix this. --Skyfeather  '95 19:14, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

I added the details of what needs to be added on his talk page. Sky, I hope I did it right... if it's wrong you can change it. If anyone has a chunk of time, take out one of your books that he has a "coming soon" or a one line summary for and expand it. With a little work from everyone, he could become a silver grade very quickly. ♫ insaneular ♫ Down at Fraggle Rock! 23:03, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

Alright guys, we've made quite a bit of progress on him, and we're so close to getting him good enough for a possible silver grade, let's not stop now! I've looked over the page again, and I think the only things that need to be done are citing his mentors, filling in the history for Twilight, and expanding the history for The Sight and Outcast, unless he really is mentioned just that one time. (expand history any other books as well, if possible). Thanks to all you guys who already contributed, he's already looking a lot more complete. ♫ insaneular ♫ Down at Fraggle Rock! 19:57, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

Tawnypelt - Feature Article Nomination
I say we've done everything we can to this article. No coming soons, style concerns or anything.–– Σ  ãliãs   G.  r.  paw RR.jpg 06:59, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

I agree that the article is very good, but doesn't an article have to be featured to get gold? Sky, does PC change the feature article, anyway? Because Tigerstar's been featured for ages, and some other articles need some love... ♫ insaneular ♫ Down at Fraggle Rock! 16:33, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, didn't know. Feature Article Nomination then. And hey can a character be featured without even having Silver Status? Because Bluestar was featured before Tigerstar, and she's being voted on these days.–– Σ  ãliãs   G.  r.  paw RR.jpg 11:25, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Hm, that's interesting... I guess after a little longer Bluestar could be gold then :P I'm not sure about the silver status thing, because I only joined the wiki 6-8 months ago, and for most of that time, even though I wanted to, I couldn't join PC because there was no active leader. So I'm kinda new to all the policies, too XD I think Tawnypelt's article is very complete, though, and she deserves to be featured. Tigerstar's been up there for 6+ months... Speaking of changing it, how often will we change the article now that we're active, Sky? ♫ insaneular ♫ Down at Fraggle Rock! 12:18, September 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not Sky, but I say one month.–– Σ  ãliãs   G.  r.  paw RR.jpg 12:31, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

I agree that Tawnypelt is ready, but yes she does need to a featured article. Depending on how often we vote on feature articles, we'll keep them up for two weeks; longer if necessary. If no one has anything else to say then we can vote on Tawnypelt being a Featured Article. --Skyfeather  '95 17:40, September 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * How do we vote for feature articles? Is there a forum and template like for silver and gold? (Btw, Sky, great work on the vote gold template). I doubt there is a template, if there isn't can I make it? How do we make an article bronze? Through voting? (Wow, flood of questions)–– Σ  ãliãs   G.  r.  paw RR.jpg 08:00, September 14, 2009 (UTC)

You vote for feature articles the same way you do as Silver and Gold, not that hard to figure out. Yes there is a template and a system set up for all of that already. Bronze doesn't need to be voted in to become that rank. Maybe try reading around a bit before asking me so many questions. (Sorry if that sounds short but really it's not that hard to go find out.) --Skyfeather  '95 18:48, September 14, 2009 (UTC)

Bronze just means that the article has most of its information, but isn't ready yet for silver. Therefore, it's not as important, and if you think an article is bronze and it is graded started, then you can just go change it. If everyone is in agreement about Tawnypelt deserving to be featured, should I start the voting? ♫ insaneular ♫ Down at Fraggle Rock! 19:55, September 14, 2009 (UTC)

Now that we've gotten past figuring out Gold nominations, Tawnypelt actually needs a lot of work before she's ready to be nominated. First, I'm pretty sure the New Prophecy sections could be more detailed, mostly Midnight, Moonrise, or Dawn. Then Outcast I'm sure needs expanding beyond one small paragraph. --Skyfeather  '95 19:59, September 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * Tawnypelt's bad luck then, as I own only Midnight in the New Prophecy Series. I'm going to try doing the rest though.–– Σ  ãliãs   G.  r.  paw RR.jpg 05:02, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

Try going to Amazon or HaperCollins and check the browse inside. --Skyfeather  '95 18:39, September 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * I did check the browse insides of Moonrise and Dawn, but I didn't get anything worth adding. Can somebody do it?–– Σ  ãliãs   G.  r.  paw RR.jpg 08:43, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

I guess I can try this weekend, but it's not a promise. I also don't own Twilight, if she needs help on that. ♫ insaneular ♫ Down at Fraggle Rock! 10:46, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

I'll see if I can help out with any information you might missed. --<font color="#33CCFF">Skyfeather <font color="#33CCFF" style="background:white;"> '95 18:42, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

Bluestar - Gold Nomination
I would've said this long before now if she had been silver before now. She's been featured on the main page before Tigerstar, and the page is INCREDIBLY detailed.–– Σ  ãliãs   G.  r.  paw RR.jpg 12:34, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

This article is not quite ready yet for Gold status. While true it does have all of its information, it doesn't have all possible information. Rising Storm and Forest of Secrets definitely need more information, I'm sure she was mentioned more than that. The others are fine for the most part except whenever she's mentioned in StarClan it could detail a bit more on about what was going on that brought Bluestar into it, if you get what I mean. --<font color="#33CCFF">Skyfeather <font color="#33CCFF" style="background:white;"> '95 18:53, September 14, 2009 (UTC)

I just expanded FoS and Rising storm a bit. If someone else fixes the Short StarClan appearances, she'll have little more room for improvement. <font color="lime" style="background:Black">♫ insaneular ♫ Down at Fraggle Rock! 20:57, September 14, 2009 (UTC)

Is someone going to work on the short parts Sky mentioned, or is this still not ready for gold? <font color="lime" style="background:Black">♫ insaneular ♫ Down at Fraggle Rock! 15:28, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

I ain't got any books in which she appears except for The Darkest Hour, Midnight, and Dawn, though I'm getting Moonrise and Starlight later this month.–– Σ  ãliãs   G.  r.  paw RR.jpg 09:19, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

Featherwhisker - silver nomination
I was expanding his history and I think that he is the best he can be with such little information we have on him. I think he deserves Silver of Bronze status.Minnowclaw 21:44, September 24, 2009 (UTC)

I agree. This seems to be a very detailed article. He even has a charcat! Sky? Whats your opinion?  HA WK FI RE98  22:24, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sky, but I see no reason why he shouldn't be Silver. It's highly unlikely that he'll even ever need updating, because since the Erins already wrote one 'prequel' (BP) I doubt they'll make another, so his role is pretty much finished. <font color="lime" style="background:Black">♫ insaneular ♫ Down at Fraggle Rock! 22:30, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

He looks like he has almost of all of his information, but didn't he appear more times in Bluestar's Prophecy? I know some of the times he was seen was insignificant, but maybe double check that to be sure, and expand a few things that lack in detail. --<font color="#33CCFF">Skyfeather <font color="#33CCFF" style="background:white;"> '95 01:31, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

Quotes
Insane and I have discussed this for a bit and we've figured out a way to add quotes to character articles. The quotes can be from any book, but must be copied down word for word. The formatting for this can be found on the project page. Anyone can add quotes, but they need to be meaningful. As in, they should represent something important that a character said or shows their personality. Please only five to six quotes per article, if you want to add more, show me the quote first and I'll decide if it can be added.

We'll need to put them under the family section if the characters have any family, and if they don't, then after all of their book information has been given. Preferably put them before the references and citations are stated. --<font color="#33CCFF">Skyfeather <font color="#33CCFF" style="background:white;"> '95 21:24, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

Sky, is it okay if I start adding a few quotes to some main characters just to show people how it's done, or do we need to wait for Eu to make an announcement? <font color="lime" style="background:Black">♫ insaneular ♫ Down at Fraggle Rock! 21:25, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

No, go ahead and start.

Here is an example using Breezepelt. --<font color="#33CCFF">Skyfeather <font color="#33CCFF" style="background:white;"> '95 21:49, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

Template:Quote
Nice and attractive way to post quotes. *salutes Harry Potter Wiki* I've already asked Sky. Are ye all with it?–– Σ  ãliãs   G.  r.  paw RR.jpg 14:27, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

It's a nice template, but there's one inconvenience about it. From the way it's formatted (This may be able to be changed, I don't know how templates are formatted) you can't put the page number the quote is from, only the book. I guess page #s aren't necessary but they make the sourcing more accurate, so... I dunno. <font color="lime" style="background:Black">♫ insaneular ♫ Down at Fraggle Rock! 15:26, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

Nice. ^^ I should go update some pages, but like Insaneular said, there's no place to put a page number...--<font face="Tempus Sans ITC" color="#949494">Warrior♥ <font face="Tempus Sans ITC" color="#7A7A7A">Warrior's Den 20:43, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

It's definitely a better way to keep things organized at it makes it easier to put quotes in, but yes the page number is a problem. Let me take a look at it really fast and see if there is anything I can do to help. --<font color="#33CCFF">Skyfeather <font color="#33CCFF" style="background:white;"> '95 21:25, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, look at the result part and tell me what you think. That was the best I could really. --<font color="#33CCFF">Skyfeather <font color="#33CCFF" style="background:white;"> '95 21:36, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

It looks fine now, Sky :D The problem was that before it was linking the whole "source" portion so if you put a page number, it made a redlink... yeah. But it looks fixed now. <font color="lime" style="background:Black">♫ insaneular ♫ Down at Fraggle Rock! 22:47, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

Fixed. Made a new section for page number. Now the code will be

Should we start using it?–– Σ  ãliãs   G.  r.  paw RR.jpg 09:01, October 5, 2009 (UTC)

Instead of putting [src] we should keep it as the book title, otherwise it might confuse people. Then we can just link the book and the page number will still be next to it. --<font color="#33CCFF">Skyfeather <font color="#33CCFF" style="background:white;"> '95 18:43, October 5, 2009 (UTC)

Done. Fine now?–– Σ  ãliãs   G.  r.  paw RR.jpg 11:41, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Yes, excellent job Graypaw. I'll change the format to this and then we'll have go through and convert the pages that have the old format on it. --<font color="#33CCFF">Skyfeather <font color="#33CCFF" style="background:white;"> '95 17:00, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Hey
Can I join? Cubonestar 02:26, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Sure, I've noticed that you've been making plenty of good edits anyway, too. I'll add you now. <font color="lime" style="background:Black">♫ insaneular ♫ Down at Fraggle Rock! 02:27, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * There's something that's been frustrating me. I see pages saying all different things, links different... I would like there to be more style. I'm thinking it would help to tell which way things should be worded and linked. This is a suggestion, not a command, OK? Please consider. Cubonestar 03:06, October 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * You're right, and we've been trying to do more of that since PC has been resurrected. Recently someone made a template for how to put it if a character was only mentioned in the Allegiances of a book, you can put and then at least that will be standardized. I know what you mean, and I've been trying to fix things like that as well, Perhaps this project just needs to get together and decide on things like that.


 * Heh. I created that template. Making things short and sweet is kind of my business on here. –– Σ  ãliãs   G.  r.  paw RR.jpg 07:51, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

Template:Dialogue a-b
Another quote template. Whatsay Sky, Insane, and everybody else?–– Σ  ãliãs   G.  r.  paw RR.jpg 08:48, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

It looks great :D The only thing is that we don't often quote dialogue, but if we have to this looks very nice for it. <font color="lime" style="background:Black">♫ insaneular ♫ Down at Fraggle Rock! 01:47, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

This looks fine to me, we'll use it under the Quotes section, and it'll count as one quote. Sound fair? --<font color="#33CCFF">Skyfeather <font color="#33CCFF" style="background:white;"> '95 22:28, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

The Fourth Apprentice Spoilers
Recently, Amazon has released the browse inside for the Fourth Apprentice, I have to ask everyone to keep the spoilers on character articles to a minimum- nothing major or too revealing. If you are unsure, best not to put it up at all. Preferably no spoilers will be put up, but that's a bit too much to hope for. We'll have to watch the pages more carefully to make sure nothing is put up that shouldn't be. Thanks! --<font color="#33CCFF">Skyfeather <font color="#33CCFF" style="background:white;"> '95 23:09, October 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * :O *DROOLS* I'm going to go read them right now, but don't worry, I won't post anything 'till November 24th. There are spoiler tags on the pages, but hey, better safe than sorry. <font color="lime" style="background:Black">♫ insaneular ♫ Down at Fraggle Rock! 23:55, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
