Hi A-Dust - good to see you helping around the place. Although I would just mention a couple of things. We don't need the spoiler tag every time there is a small explanation of who somebody is - it only really needs to be used for big plot extracts. Also, we don't have many (any?) articles about specific missions, so it's a bit pointless linking to them at this stage. Also, here we '''always''' refer to the original Grand Theft Auto game as [[Grand Theft Auto 1]] ([[GTA1]]) to avoid confusion - this may be technically wrong compared to Wikipedia and perhaps GTAW, but it's a lot simpler (and more consistent) to do it this way. Thanks again for your help - [[User:Xenon|Xenon]] ([[User talk:Xenon|?]]) 23:19, 7 May 2007 (BST) | Hi A-Dust - good to see you helping around the place.

:The thing with lists are that they are made a lot easier using [[Categories]]. All pages about characters should be put in [[:Category:Characters]], so that page produces a big up-to-date alphabetical list. However, Categories are limited by that too. We are currently in the process of reworking [[Vehicles in GTA San Andreas]] to break it into sections (types of cars), which is something we don't do with [[:Category:Vehicles]]. Also, making loads of subcategories such as "Sports Cars in San Andreas" is too specific and is much more easily done in one page. I don't see any need for one list of all characters, but certainly one per game ([[Characters in GTA Vice City]] etc). Because that is only one game at a time, we can afford to put more detail in and even add pictures. Check [[Template:GTA]] for links to the pages we use for them.

- The thing with lists are that they are made a lot easier using Categories. All pages about characters should be put in Category:Characters, so that page produces a big up-to-date alphabetical list. However, Categories are limited by that too. We are currently in the process of reworking Vehicles in GTA San Andreas to break it into sections (types of cars), which is something we don't do with Category:Vehicles. Also, making loads of subcategories such as "Sports Cars in San Andreas" is too specific and is much more easily done in one page. I don't see any need for one list of all characters, but certainly one per game (Characters in GTA Vice City etc). Because that is only one game at a time, we can afford to put more detail in and even add pictures. Check Template:GTA for links to the pages we use for them.
