Please do. You happy with all the markup required? Don't forget the first line: <code><nowiki>{|class="wikitable"</nowiki></code>. Also, don't overfill the boxes with content. A brief overview (like I did) then perhaps which missions they appeared/died in, then perhaps which actor voiced them (all on separate lines or bullet points). Nice and concise, and easy to read.

Also I forgot to mention - no spoilers (except those from early on in the game). Don't mention the end of the storyline or anything late on, just the aims of the characters, and how far through the game their appear. That way, everyone can read it, not just the people that completed GTA IV in the first week after release.

:I'll go ahead and edit out all the spoilers as I redo the page. Is it OK to have spoiler info on the individual character pages, then? --[[:w:c:gta:User:GuildKnight|GuildKnight]]<sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:GuildKnight|Talk2me]]</sup> 14:12, 7 May 2008 (UTC) | :I'll go ahead and edit out all the spoilers as I redo the page.

If it's in a plotline section, thats fine. But not in the first paragraph. For example (fake spoiler) ''"Niko is the protagonist from GTA IV who eventually falls in love with the Mayor and turns into King Kong"'' would be silly, and would spoil the game for anyone who has not completed it (which is most people). However, if you have a separate section detailing the life of that character, the major events should be put in there. But still don't list every single step of every single mission for someone like a protagonist - just "worked for the XXX Mafia, moved to Vice City, took over the Malibu club" etc. [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] ([[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|?]]) 14:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC) | |||
