Category:1632 series minor characters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Union
This is a "tracking category", a category intended to build and maintain a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself.

Main articles: 1632 characters and 1632 series, part of Wikiproject:Novels

This page lists selective 1632 character redirect pages—that is those 1632 characters for which there exists a redirect which does not and should not need expansion into a stub article. For such characters, the list/compendium article section under their name is all the write up needed, unless at a later time they get promoted and take on greater prominence in the series. (In as much as that's a fairly common occurance during the evolution of the ten books to date as of Octobe 2007, the redirect can always be retagged or expanded into a full page at need.)
  • Use of both the above and below tool is encouraged, with the prefix "{" used before the surname field to flag pages needing an article in the same group. In effect such tagging using the form:
#redirect [[1632 characters#section|Lastname, Firstname]] {{R from 1632 character|{ Lastname, Firstname}}{{R from 1632 character|{ Lastname, Firstname}} should send up a big flag: "Hey, write this article please!", which of course would then replace the redirect page in question. [Temporary, but preferred measure]!

Use Template:R from 1632 character on a redirect page to add things to this category.
Page pipetrick sorting convention
Pipesorted to begin sorting with a space 
(the very top entries) signify a typing aid that expands, usually to a link--almost always convenient phrases, abbreviations or templates that step around a disambig page, or link to a section of a list article page.

!—page named is a categorizing template tool for expanding and auto-categorization. The pipetrick=|!{{PAGENAME}} in each case.

{—page is a typical wikipedia redirect by a (perhaps) more convenient name or alternative name in any case. Such pages should also be tagged with the pertinent {R from...} templates as listed in WP:REDIRECTS, unless tagged by a 1632 redirect template like {{R to 1632 section}}, {{R to 1632 characters}} etc.

}—page is a 1632 important topic that should (eventually) be stubbed into an article page, so long as WP:FICTION, and especially any character notability guidelines are satisfied.
   Characters workups should tag redirects in this class initially with both {{1632 characters|}Surname, First}} and {{R to 1632 characters|}Surname, First}} so the article needed is (blindingly obvious!) visible in both characters categories.
   Any character redirect page should and must have a matching Surname, First title section in 1632 characters, but most minor characters should define Last, First for the next section title (alphabetically) above.
    Document all redirects pages but especially such off-center redirects with the {{redirectstohere}} tool with the hide=TRUE switch defined so if and when an entry is added between, it can be used as the new best target.
