[edit] Reference
Here is a quick reference guide to all cast for all seasons. It might be missing a few minor people: http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/reference/cast.shtml
[edit] Format
Ok - we need to go through the people and do the following for all of them:
- Back link to episodes in which they appeared
- Add actor/actress's names and back link them to their articles

- How about putting people in alphabetical order by their last name? By this, I mean editing the actual [[Category: People]] tag?
- To do that, all the editor would need to do is edit that tag to read something similar to [[Category: People|Lochley, Elizabeth]]. Thus Lochley would be in the "L"s instead of the "E"s. --Joe Beaudoin Jr. 10:26, 8 Apr 2005 (CDT)
- Ok - I'll start to do this. We need to be consistant - everyone who has a last name must be so ordered. Otherwise it will confuse people. --Randomchaos 09:36, 14 Apr 2005 (CDT)
[edit] General
- Is it possible to edit that page, like the rest, to add characters missed in the first pass? (e.g.: I find it odd that, of TKO, Walker Smith would be listed among the people, but Rabbi Koslov would not.) Several other similarities abound through the list. Making that an editable page would be a big help.
- 1. Yes, you can edit any page to add info.
- 2. Koslov is in there under "See Also," though perhaps he should be linked from where it says "rabbi" in the teaser. The teaser is a basic intro that isnt' supposed to spoil the show. If you want a spoiler use the {{spoiler}} tag.

- Should we perhaps consider changing the system by which we name character entries? I'm thinking that a possible solution would be to go "Last, Title First" or "Last, First" (sans title). Thoughts on this? All that would be needed are redirects from the existing names to their new homes. Sanfam 02:15, 14 Apr 2005 (CDT)
- That would be fine, but a lot of work. I've often thought that the category system would work better that way. However, we would have to do a "double-redirect find and kill" routine (under special pages somewhere) to make sure there were no double redirects. --Randomchaos 08:47, 14 Apr 2005 (CDT)
- "See Also?" Don't know where that is... Will go huntin'...
- Ithan: It is just a section on any page that has additional references. On the TKO page it is at the bottom. P.S. - it is easier to follow who said what if you sign after your post rather then before :) --Randomchaos 08:47, 14 Apr 2005 (CDT)
Ithan: I see the issue now I think. The problem is no one has written the Yussef Koslov page yet. It can't be added to a category until it exists. We have over a hundred people that we haven't written pages for. Feel free to write his page. I changed the link on TKO to his full name (oops - missed that when I originally wrote TKO). If you see a person that is missing just type it in the URL bar tgm.firstones.com/wiki/(whatever_name_you_want) and it will move you to the person's page. Alternatively you can find a page that links to the person. Just use the [[Category:People]] tag to place the person in this People category. --Randomchaos 09:30, 14 Apr 2005 (CDT)
