:::I guess this leads us to the question of what counts as Creatures-related stuff.  Random RPG characters are generally not very notable to anyone besides the one that wrote the article, and anyway tend to become outdated the next day at the latest as the person changes the character or its backstory or its powers or its...ad infinitum.  I think that this is not the place for this stuff, because if we started documenting everything people in the CC did, what would be the point of calling it a Creatures Wiki?  I think we should limit ourselves to stuff that actually has to do with Creatures, not random RPG things that have very little to do with it at all besides perhaps the characters being "norns", if that much.  However, I am not the only person with authority here and can easily be overruled.  I just would like a good reason for it to be restored besides "someone in the CC made it," because that could be applied to almost anything.

{{#ifeq:|Template||}}


I was looking over my Wiki entry (because I'm vain like that) and I realized that my link to PF's RPG profile was red. So, I ran a search for the page to relink it, but could not find it. I tried Danikat's RPG character, too, with similar results.

In fact, I cannot find any RPG mentions on the wiki.

Was the entire category deleted? Was that done on purpose, and if so, why? - Officer 1BDI

I'm not quite sure, you may need to ask ElasticMuffin - Don 20:47, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
I gather that as Blackstar now has its own wiki, ElasticMuffin decided to purge this wiki of RP stuff, which isn't quite right, I think, because RP existed in the CC way before Blackstar. We can always undelete the stuff.-Malkin 21:25, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
I guess this leads us to the question of what counts as Creatures-related stuff. Random RPG characters are generally not very notable to anyone besides the one that wrote the article, and anyway tend to become outdated the next day at the latest as the person changes the character or its backstory or its powers or its...ad infinitum. I think that this is not the place for this stuff, because if we started documenting everything people in the CC did, what would be the point of calling it a Creatures Wiki? I think we should limit ourselves to stuff that actually has to do with Creatures, not random RPG things that have very little to do with it at all besides perhaps the characters being "norns", if that much. However, I am not the only person with authority here and can easily be overruled. I just would like a good reason for it to be restored besides "someone in the CC made it," because that could be applied to almost anything. ElasticMuffin 22:05, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
As an addendum, I suppose that I find it OK to keep RP-related stuff on the person's user page if absolutely necessary. But having separate articles for characters that for the most part are either forgotten the next day or become almost immediately out-of-date is just silly, and the stuff that we do have ought to be well-written and at least somewhat related to Creatures. Most of the existing stuff (much of which has been transfered over to the Blackstar wiki already) did *not* fall into those categories. ElasticMuffin 22:10, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
