Alright, so unlike the colours of the staff on this wiki I believe this is an actual major proposition that will effectively change the wiki's mainspace. Now, multiple people told me that this wiki is 99% forum based, but I'm not just going to change things by my own and I still created this thread with the intention to either garner support or opposition, and to have a nice view on what the community thinks of this proposition. As my last thread, I have included a poll, but I suggest you read through my reasons before you actually vote.

So, now that that is out of the way, this is what I suggest.

The Signature Characters, for those who don't know, is a page that keeps an overabundance of characters in one article, and it is sorted by user. There is a heading for each user, and most characters exist out of a large or small paragraph, detailing all their history, backstory, faction, events of an RP, etc. stuffed together.

There is plenty of content in this page for more than a dozen articles if people just gave a shot at it. I do not doubt the skill and talent as well as the imagination and creativity that went into making these.. paragraphs. But I believe, that it is better that instead of constantly editing this one page.

Now, if I could guess how a character page was going to be created, it would be something like this. This is my own character, (as I do not want to use someone else's without their permission), and there are various headings detailing more about the character.

These headings include Events of RP (a summary of everything that happened in the RP this character was in), Personality (his personality, ideology and behaviour), Gear and Equipment (Armor, weapons, apparel, etc.), Quotes (quotes) and his Appearances (these can include links to the threads of the RPs).

Ofcourse, this is a set format I use for my character and people can still choose how they want to write their character articles, and in what order and such. You can also choose not to include appearances, or personality, or backstory, as that is completely up to the author of the article.

If you managed to read this far and actually took the time to atleast look through the article (link I provided) before you just mindlessly voted on the poll below, I applaud you.

Anyways, I have three suggestions for everyone on the wiki, so vote below.

Concerning Signature Characters and seperate character articles Do not change the system, stick with the Signature Characters page. Do not get rid of the Signature Characters page, but from this point on start creating seperate character articles. Delete the Signature Characters Page and start creating seperate articles for characters.

This thread obviously also ties in with the categories that I proposed adding to pages not so long ago.
