Revision as of 04:39, 17 August 2009

Older versions of this page are at /old and /old2.

Character Subpaging

One thing I've not yet fitted into the main page: The game now links to your family and character pages directly. It uses the following naming convention, where FamName is your family name and CharName your character's name:

Family Page: FamName Characters: FamName/CharName

i.e. Character pages are set up as subpages of the family page. --Tom 21:08, 15 May 2006 (CEST)


Bellator family has the wrong format it should be Bellator House not House Bellator.

Add the Maggiori Family

How do I add them to the lesser families list?

Its done. you just needed to click the "edit" button next to the heading "Lesser Families", insert its name in alphabetical order, and put "[[" in front of and "]]" behind to create the link. Fredrich 02:02, 19 October 2006 (CEST)

Length of Page

The warning has recently come up. Any suggestions for cutting down the page? Perhaps we can remove lesser families and those not wanting on any list? We already have a categories page with all families listed. --Vita Family 02:11, 5 December 2008 (CET)

The "unsorted" section doesn't seem to have much of a point...=Chénier 05:48, 5 December 2008 (CET)
Subpages. --Indirik 17:43, 5 December 2008 (CET)

Fame Points?

Maybe which class a family falls into, renown, etc. should be determined by its fame points. There could be a certain minimum number of fame points for each level. When family fame equals that the family could be moved into that category. Comments? --Antonine 18:43, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

If you try and organize a page based on numerical thresholds of variable in-game data, then you will create a page that either requires a lot of work by one or two people, or will just be simply outdated and then wrong and useless. Trust me on this. After working on this wiki a lot for the past three and a half years, I've seen a lot of things come and go. An attempt like this will probably yield a small amount of initial interest. Then it will probably trail off as people forget about it, or get tired of updating it. Then you'll end up with an abandoned page of outdated information. This page contains a LOT of outdated information. But it sorta works, in that it is a general classification that you can't really point at and say "That's just wrong".
If you want to try and organize some form of list based on numerical fame values, then feel free to go ahead and create the page, and try to convince people to use it. I'd suggest something a bit coarser than 5 though, Try for 10 and see how it works. --Indirik (talk), Editor (talk) 02:39, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
