Needed?

The character evolutions category seems to cover this better... Delete or redirect, though? -YK 22:55, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

DELETE...or at least give another name to it. Evoulutions? I think not. DevonM(talk·cont-ribs) 23:00, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I seem to remember a similar page being deleted not terribly long ago, but can't find anything about it in the delete logs... -YK 23:10, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm on the fence, but if we keep it, can we at least clean it up? A lot? --Jay (Gobble) 23:13, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

There's something I don't quite like about mainspace redirects that serve to bring you to text on a category page. It's like, if you're going to redirect something from the mainspace to text in the category space, it seems like that text belongs in an actual article, not in the category space. Maybe we should have a brief article on the general concept of character evolution with links to the various articles. (And as Jay suggests, it would need a great deal of cleanup.)

I just think this should be written better. It also should be linked to character evolution. Slipknot6477 02:22, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Hm. I like Heimstern Laufer's idea. We *do* have all the character evolution pages, but nothing really linking them all together except a category. This page is a mess at present, but it can be cleaned and would serve as a nice "hub", if you will. -YK 03:07, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

If you are looking for a precedent to the hub idea, there's Other Costumes. It links all the pages on Category:Other Costumes. If we do this, I suggest to also move this page to Character Evolutions. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 07:47, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm in favour of that, we do seem to have a fair few hub pages and they're more 'discoverable' than categories. -- Mithent 14:04, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I've given the page a bit of an overhaul. Is this what y'all had in mind? wbwolf (t | ed) 14:37, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

That's the sort of thing I was thinking of, yep! I still favour a move to Character Evolutions. -- Mithent 15:06, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

A similar concept is Character Relationships. One page to rule them all. I mean, link them all. So, some cleanup and a rename to Character Evolutions seems like a good plan. OptimisticFool 02:46, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Deleting the page or moving isn't needed. It's a fine page. Remove the template, please. (I said please!) DrPepper42 01:12, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

This is my first topic. I have no clue if I'm doing this right. Anyway, this is my favorite artical! It's name stays.It remains where it is. Besides, what would you attach it to? There's already a link in each character profile. -- ryuzakiforever 10:21, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Let's quit with the demands, please; no one is in a position to make such demands here. Heimstern Läufer 15:36, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Move?

Ok, since most users seem to support the existence of this article, I took down the tbd template. I'm my previous comment I suggested to move this page to Character Evolutions. The only reasoning I can give is that it just look and sound better, the the current one. Mithent also said he is in favor to move it. Anyone objects or want to comment? — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 18:12, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I think the current title ("Evolution of Characters") is better than the original title ("Evolutions"). Something about the plural "Evolutions" in the title just doesn't sound quite right to me, but other than that, "Character Evolutions" is pretty equivalent to the current title. So, I wouldn't be upset by a move, but I think the current title is slightly better. Trey56 18:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Just a reminder that I also (above) stated that "a rename to Character Evolutions seems like a good plan". OptimisticFool 20:30, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh, sorry I missed that. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 20:52, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree; Character Evolutions is a much better name. It's more flowing. – The Chort 19:16, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Agreed; should we do this move? Incidentally, there is a page Character Evolution already, which redirects to Category:Character Evolution; it seems that we previously voted not to have a page, and redirect to the category instead. -- Mithent 13:29, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
