 Okay, many of the unnamed characters have the article name listed as their name ("Armed robber", "Bartender", etc.), some have "Unknown" listed as their name. (Still others have "unknown" and others have the article titled inconsistently ("Beat Cop").)
-We need to come up with a standard for naming unnamed characters in their character boxes. Personally, I suggest we put the article's name under "name", and put "Unknown" under "formal name". (see example). Those that have "Unknown" above the picture look really weird to me - it's sort of a title for the box itself, and shouldn't be "Unknown", if you ask me.

{{Character box

Okay, many of the unnamed characters have the article name listed as their name ("Armed robber", "Bartender", etc.), some have "Unknown" listed as their name. (Still others have "unknown" and others have the article titled inconsistently ("Beat Cop").)

We need to come up with a standard for naming unnamed characters in their character boxes. Personally, I suggest we put the article's name under "name", and put "Unknown" under "formal name". (see example). Those that have "Unknown" above the picture look really weird to me - it's sort of a title for the box itself, and shouldn't be "Unknown", if you ask me.
