Warriors Wiki talk:Characters

If you're new to the project, you may want to read the FAQ for an introduction.

Idea for quotes
I saw this template on another wiki and thought it looked really cool. We can change the colour of it for whichever Clan the character is in, or if they are a rogue, kittypet, etc.

I'm still not quite sure how to get the colour to work. I have a feeling it will only work once it's an actual template. The way I think would be good for the quotes to be on articles is to have them scattered over a few places. For example, on Firestar's page we could have an important quote at the top of the article, then a quote from The Darkest Hour somewhere in that section. Comments?-- 06:51, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Ohh! Sounds like a good idea. Reminds me of Avatar Wiki. Anyways, yes, I think we should create and use this template. 12:39, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

I kind of like the idea for the colors, but I'm not so sure about scattering the quotes all over the article. I think it would work better if they were in one spot. 14:05, August 29, 2010 (UTC) It sounds like a good idea. Shadeflower Warrior of StarClan 14:09, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah... scattering the quotes might seem cool, but it would take ages to set up and would make them harder to add/remove/go over. I'm not sure about the template though.. it looks nice, but it looks as if it is really meant for the quotes to not be together, I don't think it'd look very good with them all together... and I'd really rather not scatter them =/ 12:44, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

My thoughts exactly, Insane. It would look wierd with all of them together, but it would take a lot of time to set up. 21:42, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

What about, a important quote on top of the article with the template, and then the rest of the quotes just...normal? 22:02, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Oooohhh.. excellent idea Icestorm! :D We could have the best quote that the article has at the top, kind of like an introduction to the article. I support that idea. Also, if we are going to use that template, shouldn't we add it to the list of templates? Sorry, I'm not real good with templates, so I hope you understand what I'm saying. :P 22:39, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. :) And yes, we should. 19:03, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah Ice, that's a good idea.-- 23:11, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! 14:50, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

I like Icestorm's idea too. But I also like the whole color thing too. -- Honeyrose34 21:47, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not so sure about the color thing. Most people wouldn't know what color represented what. 21:51, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

For the colour thing, it would be like: ThunderClan: Orange ShadowClan: Black RiverClan: Blue WindClan: Yellow SkyClan: Gray Rogues: Red Tribe: Green Kittypet: Pink Ancient: Crimson Loner: Purple

People don't need to know that the colours represent the Clan they are in. Maybe we could find a way to have a small Clan symbol in the corner of each.-- 22:02, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, but what about SkyClan, BloodClan, rouges, loners, kittypets, ancients, tribe cats? I mean there are a lot of different groups. I think it would be easier not to color-code it. 22:27, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I've added onto it. BloodClan are just rogues, right? I hope I got them all-- 05:52, September 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * I dunno... it all seems a little complicated. I don't see anything wrong with the quotes as we have them now, personally. 11:55, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Why do we need colour-coding for quotes? I could imagine colour-coding for the charcat template for instance (not that I'm suggesting it), but for quotes it does not provide any extra info... 16:52, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

I like the idea, but not the colour coding. 17:05, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Exactly, I do not think we should use the colors, it wouldn't make any sense. 20:44, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

I just think using the colours would be good because then they aren't just plain and white. And Helix, that might be a good idea, adding different colours to the charcat templates.-- 01:44, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with Whitestorm. -- 01:46, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with Nightshine. Colors of course are not required, but I think it would add a special touch to the page. We would then make the Charcat the same color perhaps? 17:02, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

Will these boxes for the quotes be used at all?-- 06:22, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, hold on. I do not know where Insane is but I hope she will get on soon. Also, it looks the majority of people have voted against color-coding. 12:24, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

But I think we should give them some colour, so they aren't plain white.-- 17:19, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

I really don't see a reason why we can't color them. Am I missing something? 13:10, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

Why can't we just color code them with the Wiki's color-scheme? -- 21:42, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

My initial idea was t have each cat have a colour for their current affiliation. Not all users will know exactly the reason for the colouring, but it will also make it look nicer.-- 21:58, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

I like that idea. I don't see why we can't do that. Yes it'll be alot of work, but there are alot of us. 23:46, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry Nightshine, I don't want to see diplomatic, but it seems that it is you and Moonflight against the rest of us for color-coding. 21:19, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

If you really feel that way, we don't have to add color. I just think it would look better that way. If you think differently, that's quite alright. I won't change my opinion, but I'll be fine with whatever happens. :) 21:30, September 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * As for what happens, it looks like colors won't be added. 21:32, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

So how would you like to colour it?-- 02:26, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Well, my suggestion would be to just make them all one color, but which color it really doesn't matter for me. 20:53, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

I agree. I personally would't like anything that is too vibrant, maybe a light green or pink? -- 20:55, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

I really don't see anything wrong with colour coding it by allegiance.-- 16:33, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Pale colors would definitely be better. Having, say, bright red would be eye-hurting. i.e. Compare this: To this: -- 17:03, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

We don't really need a color that stands out or anything, so how about we just use the same color as the Charcat? Makes sense to me. 17:21, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

By pale I meant like a very faint trace of color, but that is most likely because I do not like colors, I like things simple. xD -- 17:53, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Well, we could use the pale blue of the Charcat, I think it would make sense so we didn't just have this random color there. I'll try to get an example. 17:58, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Here we go. What do you think of this:

It matches the color of the Charart. 18:13, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

I like it. :) -- 18:18, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

What does everybody else think? 00:41, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

I like it. I still like the colour coding better, but this is a nice alternative.-- 00:44, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

I definatly like this better than color-coding. I'm just glad that they have some color and aren't plain white. Nice job. :) 02:32, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Since it has been five days without any objections, I will set it up. I will leave a message back here when this can be implemented on articles. 22:55, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, Template:Main Quote can now be added on all articles at the very top of the page. Ideally, each box should only have one dialogue, but if this doesn't work for that article, please notify me on my talk page. Try to pick the best quote from that article and put it at the top. Also, if you have any other questions about how the template works, or if you think anything needs to be added, please leave a message on my talk page. 19:39, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

The template should be listed right before the Charcat. 20:26, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, there is another thing to be discussed. On the template, do you guys think we should add a description to the quote, or just the cat's name that said it? My personal opinion, is just to add the cat's name to make it as brief as possible. What do the rest of you guys think? 02:42, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe add what is being discussed, also, how do you put a-b quotes? :3 -- 02:46, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Adding a very, very short description makes sense to me. 02:48, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, how about adding just who the cat is that is speaking and who they are speaking too? Also, you can't add a-b quotes because all we want is a short openening to the article. 02:51, September 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree. We'd do something like "Molekit to Cherrykit" or "Leafstar to her Clan." 20:00, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, but try to stay away from adding a lot of description. Add as least as possible. 20:06, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Do we only use this template for the quote at the top of the page, or should it be used for all of them? 20:10, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

Use Template:Main Quote for all main quotes. 21:25, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

Nutmeg - Silver Nomination
She looks ready to me. 10:43, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Her history looks pretty good, but it might be better to expand it some more. 12:08, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

If possable, add more quotes. i haven't read SkyClan, so i don't know if u can or not. -- 20:17, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

I agree, the Skyclan's Destiny section could be expanded a bit more. I'm not quite sure if she needs another quote, since she is a minor character. 17:52, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think she needs any more quotes, mainly because she is so minor, but if you find a good one, add it. 20:43, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

That quote is literally the only memorable thing she says xD As for expanding, I'll have to do that next week because my SkyClan's Destiny is at my mom's, but if anyone else wants to work on it, feel free. 20:14, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

Spiderstar - Silver Nomination
I think Spiderstar's article looks nice. What do you think? 14:03, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Just add one or two quotes, but other than that it looks nice. Good job, Maplefern! River pelt Deputy of StormClan 16:31, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

I don't own SkyClan's Destiny so I wouldn't know, but if possible the history should be expanded, since he probably won't appear again. And yes, he needs some quotes. 16:35, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

I expanded it as much as I could, though I'm not sure if it is enough. 17:47, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Looks better to me. 02:22, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

I think it looks fine, but what about quotes? River pelt Deputy of StormClan 23:39, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

He appears in StarClan, as well. He needs that added to his history. 23:41, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Are you still working on this, Maplefern? 19:31, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

Brindlestar~ For Sliver
I think she's ready. 18:01, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

I would say expand her history, but I don't think it can any more. Looks good to me. 18:05, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

For a character as minor as hers, it looks pretty good. 02:02, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

I like to do the minor short story characters, it's easier than skimming a whole novel. So there's not much for me to do? 02:05, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

I think she is fine. 02:22, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

I agree. Nice job. :) 20:23, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Comments before vote? 01:21, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Vote has been placed. 22:46, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Thrushpelt (TC) - Silver Nomination
I cleaned up Bluestar's Prophecy, I think this is ready. Also, to note, this is my first nomination so I have no idea if I'm doing it right. :P 02:25, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Bluestar's Prophecy and Code of the Clans could both be expanded. Also, he could use another quote that shows his personality. 02:30, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

I expanded it as much as I can, though I cannot do a quote. 02:46, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

If you can't find I quote, I could try to find one, if you want. 03:08, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, Moonflight. :D 03:12, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

No problem. I'll be able to get to it tomorrow. :) 03:16, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Anything else I can do? 15:58, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

You still need more quotes. 21:27, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

New Leadership
Hey, all. I've decided that it's time for me to pass the torch, as I've had a long time as PC leader but I'm not feeling enthusiastic about it anymore. So, Whitestorm will take over leadership of the project, due to his great dedication and hard work even in his short time as senior warrior. So, congratulations so Whitestorm :) 21:17, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Congratulations, Whitestorm. We'll miss you as our leader Insane, you did a great job. But I guess everyone has to move on. 21:19, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Congratulations Whitestorm! You were a great leader, Insane! River pelt Deputy of StormClan 22:23, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Congrats Whitestorm :), You'll be missed Insane!! 22:47, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the good wishes everybody! I am happy to "accept the torch." XD I will be chosing another deputy soon. :) 00:20, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Nice siggie Whitestorm! Congrats! 00:21, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Wow, you were a great leader insane and Whitestorm good luck im sure you will do great! (= 01:15, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Congrats! 11:04, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Insane, it's sad to see you leave; there were hardly any members on this wiki who were more dedicated than you, but of course I understand your decision. Thanks for all your work, and hope you'll still be around. Congrats to Whitestorm for the position, and good luck for the Project. :) Kind regards, 12:00, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, this was a hard choic for me and I thought long and hard about it. The new deputy of PC will be Moonflight! Please feel free to leave your congrats on her talk page! :) 00:50, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

When I first joined this Project, I was just an immature user. I just expected that all the admins and wise users would lead the projects and I would just watch lead after lead come and go from the projects. I had no idea that one day, I would be one of those leads, under a fabulous leader and following them in their footsteps. I want to thank everyone for believing in me and I will try my best to serve you.

Thank you, 00:59, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Congrats Whitestorm and Moonflight! 00:19, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Leafstar - Silver Nomination
I checked the rules again, and I am allowed to have one more nomination. I expanded her Skyclan's Destiny section overtime. 00:02, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Her Firestar's Quest section could be expanded. -- 00:04, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Cats of the Clans could be expanded a tad. 00:05, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe.... you could add a bit of her in the manga part of SkyClan's Destiny. River pelt Deputy of StormClan 00:39, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Expanded Firestar's Quest and added the manga part, though I can't expand Cats of the Clans. 01:07, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Needs some more quotes that show personality, and could more be added to her leadership ceremony? I'm not sure, but there isn't very much on it right now. 02:54, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

I added more quotes. 04:25, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

The second quote with Echostsong is good, but could more ne added to it? Like, add Leafstar's respons and some more dialogue. Also, did you look into the leader ceremony? 20:41, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I believe that the chapter ends there, and Leafstar didn't respond. And I can't find the leader ceremony right now, but I'm trying. 20:53, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe put in a quote from Quest? And her tree should be deleted. It's only her and her unnamed mother. -- 17:27, September 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Did it. :) 20:33, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * The tree I mean. 22:09, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * So anything I can do? :) 15:58, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Did you add a Quest quote? 17:05, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

I can't really find a good one that shows her true self. 17:07, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

You need to try and add more dialogue to her warrior ceremony, and add a leader ceremony for her. 17:41, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

I added more to her warrior ceremony and I will add her leader ceremony soon. 17:47, September 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * By Leadership Ceremony, do you mean when Firestar announces that she'll be leader, or the actual StarClan ceremony? 00:40, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not quite sure which one it is, but I know it's the one that is "I, mentor of Skyclan and leader of Thunderclan ___ do you, Leafstar ___" thing one. xD If that is the starclan one..o_o 02:55, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

You need to add the StarClan ceremony where she receives all nine of her lives. 21:29, September 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * But Firestar nor Bluestar have one. Should they? The givers of their nine lives are listed in the Leader Information. 00:20, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

Bluestar ~ Gold Nomination
I have worked on Bluestar's page for a while now, I've expanded almost every one of her books. I really want her to become gold, so please tell me all the things I must fix. River pelt Deputy of StormClan 20:02, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but she has none of her ceremonies. 20:07, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

I realised she doesn't I'll work on them ASAP! River pelt Deputy of StormClan 20:09, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

You should find another quote that shows her personality, that could be used with the new format. Shattered Peace, Long Shadows, Into the Wild, and Rising Storm could all be expanded. Also, try to summarize Cotc together so it isn't just a bunch of information spread out. :) 20:35, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

joining
I would like to join, is that okay? Thanks, Wolfwhisker I love Tigerheart! 00:47, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

Sure, Wolfwhisker. I'll add you in. If you need help, you can consult the FAQ or ask an experieced member of the Project. :) 00:51, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

Quotes?
Some characters Quotes are at the tops of the article. I dont know if someone made a mistake or something one I saw was Dustpelt one of his quotes was at the top of the page I'll go and fix the ones that I see but is there a reson for it? 18:06, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

If you look farther up the page, you'll see there is a very long (and quite hard to miss) discussion about this. It's called a Main Quote, and every character with quotes should have one. 19:59, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

Crookedstar~ For Gold
I expanded a lot of his history, and i think he looks good. 21:28, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

Most of the history could be expanded and it need some quotes. 22:06, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, we need a few more quotes, and a better main quote. The citation for brown does need to be found, you can't remove it without searching for a while. Also, Into the Wild, Rising Storm, Starlight, Twilight, and Cats of the Clans all need to be expanded, although most history could use some expansion. 22:18, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
