Forum:Character Page Redesign

Hello. I know that there is a high chance that you would dismiss this idea but I think that we should redesign the character pages. The character pages are inconsistent in terms of naming. Some are named after their character in the game (Kirito, Asuna) while others are named after their real name (Suguha, Kyouji). Another thing is that they are (forgive the term) messy. The information there needs organizing. Most are even incomplete. So that is why I'm proposing an idea that might help make things more organized. This is what I'm thinking:

Recon is a Sylph and a friend of Lyfa.
 * I've created a tab template and I suggest that we use it in the character pages. The first tab would contain their name, information about them in real life and the Chronology section (the things that they did, events they were a part of). The next tabs would be the VRMMORPGs that they played, each showing their character, that character's abilities, guild, party, etc. (All the things related in game). Visit these pages: Here and here to see what I'm saying.
 * We should make a policy concerning the sections of the pages that states the correct order of the sections. Something like this:

Appearance
Write the appearance of the character here.

Personality
Write the personality of the character here.

Chronology
Write the events here.

Abilities
Write the character's abilities here.

Trivia (if any)
Write some trivia about the character here.

Navigation (if any)
I don't think this wiki has this, but I'm willing to create some if you'd like :3
 * Let's rename the character pages to reflect their name in real life or their name in game, whichever you guys prefer. We just need them to be consistent.

I know that this idea may be turned down since there are many characters but this idea only applies to those whose real name had been revealed and who are playing multiple games. I think that if we do this, we can help make this wiki better and maybe attract new users. I'm willing to help with this idea. (Also, I think the infobox needs redesigning as well but that's for another day) 04:16, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

Comments?
Well it is my belief that a majority of the format should remain the same, as you have it up there, as for the navigation that is something that should be taken up with Hao-sama when he returns. I personally would like to see something like that but the better question is how you design the navigation? I mean the characters don't have an official affiliation, and to design one for each character seems time consuming, and I ask if you are prepared to create one for the 60+ character pages we have. I only saying this as a matter of logistics. If you are set on the idea, then I'll help in formulation and execution of them. Just give me a full proposal on that, I'm willing to request the formation of a brigade of contributors to follow through just have something concrete.Dim1 (talk) 06:47, December 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * So are you okay with my tab idea? As for the navigation, here's what I have in mind. (1) According to guild in SAO and ALO; (2) Solo Players in SAO? or Clearing Players; (3) According to race in ALO; (4) Those who participated in the BOBs of GGO. And... I haven't read the Alicization arc yet... I'll do a sample later... 07:01, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

May I ask for what exactly this tab will do? If merely just for navigating, we already have "contents" part in each page to do that. 202.158.142.18 06:56, December 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's a link to another page. Some of the information are to be transferred to a new page so that the main page wouldn't look too crowded. 07:01, December 29, 2012 (UTC)
