Character list pages

I found an inconsistency in some pages that list the characters of a game. I think that it's important that these pages mantain some consistency. For example, they should not include spoilers. I believe that the better of these pages currently is Characters in GTA IV because it includes the basic information of the characters, images of them, classifies the characters and doesn't reveal important or unexpected details of the storyline. The following pages include too many spoilers, some even including the end of the game in the description of a character:

If an specific character page already includes spoilers, there is no reason why a more general approach to all the characters in a game should include the same spoilers. Also, as another user pointed out, these pages are useful for quickly identifying characters, so their whole biography doesn't need to be included in these pages, but an image should. I think we should reach a concensus on the content and style of these pages, that's why I have not started editing them. P.S.: I posted the message here because all those pages are included in this category. --Elwey333 23:56, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Sub-categories?

Another point I wanted to discuss is the possibility of sub-categories. All of the characters are crammed into single categories, and maybe some sub-categories will make it easier to find a particular character. For example, recently pages were created for every criminal on GTA IV's Most Wanted list, so maybe we could create a sub-category something like Most Wanted in GTA IV or just Most Wanted? Other games also include characters that are only mentioned, maybe a category for that too. I'm not sure if anyone else considers this a good idea, so maybe some more opinions should be heard before doing anything. --Elwey333 23:56, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
