I've been trying to wrap my head around how we should go about organising pages for characters.

At the moment, a "recurring character" page is something like Peashooter, whereas a game character page is something like Peashooter (PvZ).

Some questions I have to start:

  • Should only recurring characters get pages? Why?
  • What should actually go on these recurring character pages? What makes them different from glorified disambiguation pages?
  • For stuff like development and history, which pages does such information go on? Should the genesis of Peashooter's design be documented on his main page or on the pages for each respective game (since designs evolve over time)?

You can check out Peashooter's page to see how I've changed it so far. I'm stuck on what to do next though

#

PvZ isn't a story-heavy series, nor is it particularly chronological, so a history section like other pages do doesn't really make sense

#

but we can focus on the evolution/history of characters' designs

#

but it makes more sense for those to go on each character's game pages, not their main page

#

even just "physical descriptions" don't make sense to put on the main page

#

personality is inconsistent, and again, PvZ isn't a lore-heavy franchise

#

other wikis i look at don't have separate game pages

#

they just put all the character's information on one page

#

the super mario wiki

#

the legend of zelda wiki

#

the pokemon wiki

#

the angry birds wiki

that's true

#

Zomboss and Crazy Dave lore

#

but i'm more concerned about the other Plants and Zombies

I would like for example the Peashooter page to explain the evolution of the character and its alterations in each game and in other media such as the comics

#

I wonder how to structure a section like that

#

esp because the shooters exist

#

Also mention the Peashooters who are their own characters like Pew Pew and Green Shadow and Sunflower with Fred, Solar Flare, Sonia and Sunny

shadow ivy
#

yeah, that for sure

#

who tf is Pew Pew
