Downshift (UT) move
Hey man, I hate to be a pain, but doesn't the Style Guide say to abbreviate Energon, Armada, and Cybertron as (UT)? He's not a Cybertron character, apparently, but we could mark on the page that he's from the Energon portion of the Unicon Trilogy continuity. - Doogles 21:31, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, Doogles - The style guide is undergoing revision, see note on the community portal. It could probably be better marked. We had a long discussion on the Community Portal's talk page about it and eventually decided to use the franchise of origin for characters if and only if they needed disambiguation. So, no more "UT" suffixes. Sometime after Comic Con and the academic conference I'm going to right after that, I will update all the wiki's help pages. --Steve-o 22:29, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
"series Character"
No. I thought it was necessary after seeing how absurdly bloated the Generation 1 category was and thought it would make things much more organized. I'm only doing it for series that have a significant amount of articles that aren't characters; I'm not doing pointless ones like "Operation Combination characters", as only one article in "Operation Combination" isn't a character page. Same goes for stuff like Robot Masters and Victory.
My interpretation of the Generation 1 category differs from yours, evidently. I take "Generation 1" to be the catch-all category of the continuity family, which includes stuff like the Beast Era and Robot Masters. Obviously, this includes Classics. Interrobang 17:18, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- I agree that the Generation 1 category was bloated and I think having a "Generation 1 characters" category to address that is a good thing. I also think that this sort of significant reshuffling of how we categorize things could probably have stood to have been thoroughly discussed somewhere, like the Community Portal's talk page, prior to implementation. --KilMichaelMcC 18:19, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
