Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

I suggest you organize them by their affiliation. It shouldn't be too hard with their affiliation listed in their info boxes.

There's a Category for fictional magicians now, which should be helpful for delineating characters from this series. -Sean Curtin 07:49, 31 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Multiple categories

Bear in mind that there's no need to remove anyone from this category just because you add them to another. At the moment I understand that a given Category "article" only shows a list of articles which are directly in that Category, not those in Sub-Categories. --Phil | Talk 10:20, Jun 1, 2004 (UTC)

This is not true. If the character is tagged to both a category and its sub category it will appear in both, so there is a need to remove it. If a character is added to a sub category it of this category, it should be removed from this category.--Dacium 22:27, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comprehensive list of all Harry Potter characters

Can I suggest that this category be used as a comprehensive list of all Harry Potter characters? This would be very useful, rather than searching around to the different categories. As a previous poster points out, a page may be a member of multiple categories, so there is no problem in Ron Weasley's page being listed in the "Gryffindor's in Harry's Year," "Gryffindors," "Dumbeldore's Army," and this category at the same time. --billlund 23:02, July 16, 2005 (UTC)

Doesn't that defeat the point of the subcategories? 67.171.180.209 01:43, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Yes it does. Further more many characters are only listed in the sub categories and not in the main page. So the whole thing is a complete wish-wash. All characters are listed on the list of harry potter characters pages incase someone needs help finding them. The very point of the categories is so there isn't some collosal list here.--Dacium 22:23, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge many character pages

As per WP:FICT minor characters are not meant to have there own page. What are your thoughts on nominating for deletion: Romilda Vane Andromeda Tonks The Weird Sisters (Harry Potter) Tobias Snape and Eileen Prince Merope Sir Patrick Delaney-Podmore Frank Bryce

These (at the very least) should all be moved to: Minor Harry Potter characters —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 155.144.251.120 (talk) 03:16, 19 January 2007 (UTC).

The merges will have to be suggested with dicussion else people will revert them, even for minor characters like Romilda Vane.--Dacium 23:02, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
