User blog:Jack The Dingo/Dishonored 2 - Pre release information should be on the character pages.

Okay because wiki felt like posting it when i hit enter to set a title.

Basically im going to make this relatively short and sweet. With the new dishonored 2 trailers there's clearly alot of new information posted out there for the media to use. With that and the new trailers today, we clearly have strong indications of who's playing what roll in the game and what characters are going to appear. In both the trailer and collector's edition of the game, we can clearly see Delilah Copperspoon appear twice and also have a poster about her that claims she is now the empress of dunwall.

Character pages like Corvo's don't feature any of his history for some reason, rather than listing out short summaries on the page of his missions/backstory. His entire character history is gated to a mission page which i don't think is helping anyone understand his history as a character at all.

On top that, I think it's really unhealthy for the wiki to have all the pre-release content gated to a specific section, it feels more like we're gating everything to a mega thread more so than actual pages. I mean the fact there's literal in game confirmation of facts and what not and then seeing all that not allowed here just feels like it's against everyone's best interests.

I just think its in both the community's and wiki's best interest that relevant pages be updated with information regarding dishonored 1 and 2 to help establish continuity and understanding of the first games events. It also lets people understand who these characters are and what role they serve in the setting.

I haven't really seen any wiki before do this sort of thing and it just doesn't feel natural at all to have all the information gated into a "mega-section" (megathread).
