==Characters Discussion, PLEASE READ==

This definitely is nothing to be decided now, but I think that talking about it as early as we can so we can come to a definite conclusion by the time the film releases would be a good idea.

−

I am speaking wholly in terms of a wiki, and even more so in terms of an encyclopedia of information on the ''Sly Cooper'' series. When the film comes out, should we have different pages for the characters in the films? I'm not asking if anyone would be willing to do it, or if it would be too much work. I'm asking if it would be wise to have information that will be clearly different (as the film does take place in an "alternate universe" to the game series, and the characters may share only basic traits from those in the games) in separate articles. Examples of this would be articles called "Bentley Turtle," "Murray Hippo," and "Sly Cooper (film character)."

−

Again, '''BEFORE YOU RESPOND''', I would like you to think of this more in terms of having several, easy to read, clear cut pages, rather than a single, cluttered, confusing page that contains information under noncanon headers and whatnot. For examples of what I have in mind, take a look at these pages: [[w:c:batman:The Joker (Batman: Arkham Asylum)|the Joker from Arkham Asylum]] and [[w:c:batman:The Joker (Batman: Arkham City)|the Joker from Arkham City]].

::No, I don't think so. Things that appear in both, but have different histories or uses, should, but new stuff, like the original boss they are adding, shouldn't, since there would be nothing to confuse it with. I've seen it done both ways, but I prefer as little "title clarification" as possible to keep things cleaner. [[User:Teenbat|Teen]][[User_Talk:Teenbat|bat]] 16:42, June 28, 2015 (UTC)

::I think there'd be a better way to handle this. Maybe you could contact Wikia about creating a custom namespace for this wiki, "Film:". Like "Talk:", "File:", "Special:", etc. "Film:" could host all of the information about the film while the rest of the wikia continues to operate as normal as a video game wikia. The reason I suggest this is because "Sly Cooper (film)" is already used so "Sly Cooper (film character)" would otherwise be the course of action, and then "Bentley Turtle" and "Murray Hippo" have alternate names rather than needing (film) at the end, and it would all get too convoluted. Having everything underneath one namespace acts as an easy distinguishing feature to tell people "You're on the Film:Sly Cooper article, which means you're reading about the Sly Cooper character in the film. Or Film:Bentley Turtle or Film:Murray Hippo". It might make it a lot easier. But I do agree with having separate articles, whether you use the namespace or not. « '''[[User:SlyCooperFan1|SlyCooperFan1]]''' » [''[[Message Wall:SlyCooperFan1|message wall]]'' - ''[[Special:Contributions/SlyCooperFan1|contributions]]''] 20:16, June 28, 2015 (UTC)
