Talk:Portal:Characters/Season Three

Consistency

• So Bob is a recurring character, but Stephen Tobolowski is a supporting cast member. Are we going to be consistent with actors and their character? If so, we need to do a sweep to ensure this.--Bob (Talk) 16:26, 17 October 2007 (EDT)
  • Yeah, a few mismatches creep in there. I'd put them both as supporting, personally, but it could easily go either way. But in either case, they should be the same. Good catch. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:49, 17 October 2007 (EDT)

GN and Episodic History

Should we divide character history into Episodic and GN history? Having them combined doesn't really make the article flow, being that you have an episode; then you have a novel which is completely random, being that most are in the past, then you jump in another direction to the next episode. Dividing them or even deleting novel history would make for a more steamline articles. --  Seclusion  talk / contribs 09:12, 11 December 2007 (EST)

Adam Monroe

• Adam Monroe is not in one of these categories, should he be in it? -- Futurepeter 09:24, 1 October 2008 (EDT)
  • And Linderman is listed both as minor and supporting... Pierre 09:31, 1 October 2008 (EDT)
    • Yeah i noticed that too. -- Futurepeter 10:00, 1 October 2008 (EDT)

Character categories

Could we possibly have a Help:Characters article to define the different catagories we have? Or is it located somewhere else? --Pinkkeith 15:47, 10 October 2008 (EDT)

• I'm not sure what help you're looking for. Subcategories for characters are located at Category:Characters, and definitions of each are located on each subcategory's page. Is that what you needed? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:16, 13 October 2008 (EDT)
  • Actually, was I was wonder is what is the difference between a supporting character, a recurring character and a minor character. There isn't a definition for these terms located in the category pages. --Pinkkeith 10:03, 17 October 2008 (EDT)
    • Funny you should mention that. We were just discussing it at Heroes Wiki talk:Community Portal#About characters?. Personally, I think we should do away with the two "middle" categories which always cause confusion and debates each season. I think we should go with main characters (designated by NBC), recurring characters (characters who have made, say, three or more appearances, or whatever we decide as a community), and minor characters (for everybody else). Likewise, we would trim our actors down to corresponding parts: principal cast, supporting actors, and guest stars. After everything is defined, Help:Characters would be a good idea. Feel free to leave your thoughts and opinions at this discussion link. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:09, 17 October 2008 (EDT)
