Template talk:Person

I don't really think it's great to have an 'age' on this template because that all depends on the current year, which would depend on how the Forgotten Realms setting is being used. Maybe this could be "Age as of (year)" or "Date of birth" (where known)? Does anyone else have an opinion? Fw190a8 05:47, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree and have expressed similiar viewpoints in the community portal earlier Zerak-Tul 22:18, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I have attempted to alter this template slightly so it looks like the other templates, eg: Template:Forgotten Realms Deity (used on Drizzt) and Template:Forgotten Realms Country (used on Waterdeep). Fw190a8 15:49, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Forcing category on template
Regarding Ebakunin's recent change to put any article using this template into the Characters category, I am not too sure on this, because there might be a more suitable subcategory for the article (such as Elves or Halflings). Any thoughts? Fw190a8 11:08, 7 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Putting a category in a template (other than some of the standard maintenance categories like "Stub") is generally a bad idea. If we expand or modify the category structure some day, it will be hard to recategorize the articles. Also, note that if a category in a template is changed, the articles stay in the previous category until edited, which can be a pain in the... neck sometimes. Lets just separate categories from templates. --TOR 13:09, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Person > Character
I prefered Character over Person, as Person doesn't really fit certain demi-human beings, good examples would be shadovar like Hadrhune or other less-than-human people.. Zerak talk 18:33, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
