Talk:Unnamed shadow priest

Name
Well, this name cannot stay, as there are many shadow priests (one in the graveyard, one in Highcliff Castle, one in Old Owl Well etc.).  Energy   X  17:07, June 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hmmm, this is why I only create articles about named characters... too confusing... it is like making a page for the Ogre from the Easthaven Cave in the Icewind Dale (game)... I guess this unnamed shadow priest could be called: Unnamed shadow priest (Graveyard)... but I want High admin BadCat's advice or Movie's ideas... - Darkwynters (talk) 20:46, June 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * Or like the Unnamed minstrels (NWN2) page... just make them all into one page... stating some are in Highcliff Castle and another one is in Graveyard (Mere of Dead Men)... - Darkwynters (talk) 20:48, June 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * To my mind, an unnamed character should be one who's still significant in some way, who there is fair bit to say about, yet still has no name. Some of these unnamed character articles, however, push at our Three Sentence Rule (although named characters have been an exception, unnamed characters probably shouldn't be): the articles are sparse at three or four sentences, and there's not much to say about them individually. These articles probably won't attract readers.
 * Consider maybe writing these up an as an organization instead, using Organization and Category:Organizations. They are all working together, aren't they? If so, then you can put all the information on the one page, with general description, personality, a history of their activities, who they work for, information about specific unnamed members, and so on. That would mean less articles and work all up. Do the groups have names? You could call them Unnamed shadow priest order or Unnamed bandit gang (NWN2). Similarly, unnamed people at Fort Locke or West Harbor could just be listed on those pages.
 * Don't think we're changing the rules on you. This is a new thing for the wiki, so we're thinking up new guidelines as it happens. The existing articles can stay. — BadCatMan (talk) 03:30, June 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * I completely agree... the unnamed pages are getting out of control... which is why I always focus on named characters, even if they are just some dead dwarf found in Icewind Dale... because maybe... just maybe this dwarf has something written about him... of his adventures and his quest... to sell things... in... well, Icewind Dale... his name is Regbald Stonethrower... his name is Regbald Stonethrower... anyway, back to the important subject... yes, when creating an unnamed character/location page... they should be important to the adventure or the world of Toril. - Darkwynters (talk) 05:27, June 15, 2014 (UTC)
