I agree with you, panacea can be classificate as villan for now.

I was thinking about chnaging a couple of things in the chapter and character infoboxes like adding "race" to the characters and putting a link to the chapters list in the chapter infobox. How can i change the template of an infobox?--Estocasticom 14:17, August 1, 2012 (UTC)

Go to Template:Infobox character or Template:Infobox chapter and add an additional line. Feel free to play around with it a bit. The character one is self explanatory imo. I added a Chapter List link to the bottom of the chapter box, but I'm not feeling it. -Valravn 09:19, August 4, 2012 (UTC)

I'm going to change how I do the character lists. I'll fix the older chapters when I go through finishing them over the next month or so. I'm going to list the rules I'll use. It makes me feel kinda obsessive compulsive, but it's how I do it.

My general rules:

POV character is always first. This is usually Taylor, but in Interludes it's different.
List is divided up into sections based on cape team. I like to do this in roughly order of importance (Protectorate before Wards), but I'll almost always put groups on the same side together.
Characters are also listed by my perceived order of importance. I like to follow the chain of command. (Undersiders I follow Grue>Tattletale/Skitter>Regent>Bitch>Imp; Bitch used to be last to go with dogs, but I'm changing this)
New-ish: Subgroups get their own section to limit the size of larger groups. (Skitter's Minions and Bitch's Dogs)
New: The Undersiders are going to be listed by their civilian name if they don't spend a significant time in costume. This was done in the tags a couple time, but I like it for story reasons. This will involve changing Taylor to Skitter in most the chapters after she gets the name.

Thanks for your hard work, Valravn.

One thing to consider: I'm noticing the amount of time you're spending on keeping track of appearances. Would it not be better to simply link to the tag page & let it be handled automatically?

ie.: Appearances, Armsmaster:

Tag Page

Just something to consider. Wildbowpig 15:04, August 7, 2012 (UTC)

I considered doing that when I started doing the appearances, but the tags aren't always consistent/comprehensive and it's hard to scroll through all the chapters on the tag page. I just wish I could figure out how to get a collapsible list working. Valravn 19:58, August 7, 2012 (UTC)

There is a page for both Mannequin and Alan Gramme. These are the same person, is it possible to delete the Mannequin page?

-:This is Rathum from Wordpress. I'm probably going to finish adding the chapters in the next couple days and then I'll make a standard page for the characters with a new infobox. I don't know how long it will take me to add a synopsis for every chapter, though. [[User:Valravn|Valravn]] 21:29, May 5, 2012 (UTC)

-I like what you've done with the entry for Gestation 1.1. Want me to chip in with bits of trivia that is from the author's perspective (ie. storylines that weren't) or would you rather keep it story-relevant? [[User:Wildbowpig|Wildbowpig]] 17:41, May 5, 2012 (UTC)

-::I can't promise to do it for every chapter, but in the interest of motivating/pushing you guys to get things done, I'll try to do this for the chapters that get past stub status. [[User:Wildbowpig|Wildbowpig]] 19:29, May 5, 2012 (UTC)

-Going to wait a few days before I finish the chapter list. New users get captchas for 4 days and they more than double the time it takes to do each page.
+ie.: <u>'''Appearances, Armsmaster:'''</u>
-:I feel a bit bad for not finishing my work on the chapter list. I've caught a horrible case of the Diablo III, but I'll see if I can get some work done in the next couple days.[[User:Valravn|Valravn]] 11:56, May 16, 2012 (UTC)
-hehehe, i feel you man, we all have been there with one game or another. Don't worry, there is no hurry. I see this wiki as a long game thing. in a few years, if everything go well, we will have dozens of editors and thousands of pages, but there is no hurry, step be step.

-By the way, i'm not sure about what some users can do and others don't, but i was thinking in giving you and wildbow all the permits i can, but i don't know exactly how that work, what levels there are how to change one user from oe to another, an all that.
