Talk:Portal:Future Characters

Just a quick bit of help for anybody who might be interested. When typing a future character's name, you can use the parentheses to help you. For instance, rather than typing [[Peter Petrelii (future)|Peter]], you can just type [[Peter (future)|]]. The piping will automatically strip the "(future)" part and will just leave Peter. Actually, this applies to anything with a parenthetical title ( [[Homecoming (event)|]]→Homecoming ) or a comma ( [[Las Vegas, NV|]]→Las Vegas ). Of course you can still pipe and link however you want, I just want to make it easier on those that might be typing future characters' names a lot. :) — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:32, 2 May 2007 (EDT)

• FYI same trick can be used to strip out namespaces easily, too. ([[Episode:Genesis|]]→Genesis) (Admin 20:43, 2 May 2007 (EDT))

Should the Moab Federal Penitentiary Response Team be added to this page? Harter 19:52, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

• Sparrow Redhouse, too. However, they're already on the Graphic Novel Characters portal, and I think they're fine there. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:14, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

Another portal

Why don't we have another portal of future characters for the Virus outbreak timeline? Future Angela and the new Virus characters seem out of place here.--Citizen 19:14, 6 November 2007

• You'd rather have a portal of just five people? This portal is named "future characters" and the characters from Out of Time and Quarantine are future characters. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 06:31, 7 November 2007 (EST)
  • But these new future characters are not in the same future as the future characters from Five Years Gone.--Citizen 14:11, 7 November 2007
    • I agree with Citizen, the Virus Pandemic is this season's Bomb. It is separate from the Bomb (and likely happened because the Bomb was averted) and as such needs to be separated from the Bomb future--SacValleyDweller (talk to me) 18:24, 7 November 2007 (EST)
      • But who says that this portal is only for characters from a specific future? If we did that, we'd probably have to have another portal for the characters from Walls, and possibly another for the characters from String Theory. Yuck. The portal only says "Future Characters", and all the characters in the portal are characters from possible futures. Besides, even Dark Future talks about all the different possible futures in one article. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:27, 8 November 2007 (EST)
