XPwiki:Policy

Page Names

PC's

PC's get their First and Last Names as their page name generally, with the first name shortened to a commonly used nickname if applicable, unless they are commonly called something not their legal first and last names. Titles are generally included. Add redirects to appropiate nicknames and codenames, even if the codename does not appear in Xproject itself.

Examples:

         Cain Marko gets Cain Marko. Juggernaut redirects to Cain Marko.
         Joshua Guthrie gets Jay Guthrie. Icarus redirects to Jay Guthrie.
         Douglas Ramsey gets Doug Ramsey. Cypher and Lexicon redirect to Doug Ramsey.
         Sharon Smith gets Catseye.
         Moira MacTaggart gets Dr. Moira MacTaggart.
         Wolverine/James Howlett gets Logan.
         Gemila Szardos/Amanda Sefton gets Amanda Sefton.
David Haller, Davey, Jack, Jim and Cyndi are all listed under Haller.

NPC's

NPC's get similar page names as PC's, except in the case of the Brotherhood of Mutants, and similar cases, where an alias is commonly used in Xproject, rather than a real name. Add redirects to appropiate nicknames and codenames, even if the codename does not appear in Xproject itself.

Examples:

        Raven Darkholme gets Mystique
        Victor Creed gets Sabretooth
        Dr. Essex gets Dr. Nathaniel Essex. Mister Sinister redirects to Dr. Nathaniel Essex.

Groups

In cases where there are a number of minor NPCs that are part of a particular group, the entry should be under a group name and the individual characters listed under the roster or family member section. This is to simplify the site and avoid hundreds of NPCs being listed.

Examples

        Mother Askani, Lusanya, Galin et al are listed under The Askani. This also includes references to the language and history.
        Anika, Foley, Morgan and the other former Mistra operatives are listed under The Reclaimed.
        Billy is included under the McCoy Family link.
        Homily, Aspen, Colin et al are listed under the London Coven.

Categories
