[edit] Characters
[edit] Individual Pages
For a character to receive an individual page, he or she must have a prominent appearing role in 2 or more books. Exceptions include Mr. and Mrs. Baudelaire / Beatrice Baudelaire as they don't appear in the series but still are alluded to or spoken about in every book.
[edit] Character List Pages
For those characters who do not meet the criteria for an individual page, they should be placed into one of the following groups:
- Guardians - characters who are official or unofficial guardians of the Baudelaires, listed under the appropriate book heading
- Castaways - characters living on Olaf-Land in The End
- Count Olaf's associates - characters are part of Count Olaf's theatre troupe or otherwise work with Count Olaf
- List of Prufrock Preparatory School Staff - characters who worked at Prufrock Preparatory School
If a character, especially a very minor character, does not fit into any of the above groups, they should be put into List of minor characters in A Series of Unfortunate Events.
[edit] Locations
All locations should be divided into one of the following groups:
- Towns
- Geographic locations
- Houses
- Boats/Submarines
- Businesses
[edit] Books
All books receive their own article. The only exception to this rule is special edition prints of books. Special editions should be listed in the main book page.
[edit] Other Notes
- If you feel a subject not covered in the above topics deserves an article, begin a discussion on the project talk page.
- On the pages, don't call the series 'fictional'. Fictional and fiction mean different things:
- If I said: A Series of Unfortunate Events is a fictional book series.
- It would mean that the book series does not exist.
- If I said: A Series of Unfortunate Events is a fiction book series.
- It would mean that the events taking place in that series do not exist.
- Simply say that its a children's book series by Lemony Snicket.
- For writing about fiction generally, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction).
