Talk:Characters/Authored Pieces/@comment-6716431-20170204084355/@comment-5607198-20170204155819

im not sure i understand what's being discussed here.

But one thing i can say is, we shouldn't be creating pages for every random name in the text.

I feel like, character that DON'T appear in-media and only present an incidental name (because the note, etc., would look odd without one), we dont need a page for.

However, if someone is authoring several pieces, they become a background character in their own right, and might deserve their own page (for example, doug ratman from the Portal series. never appears in portal one, but his influence is felt through his nests and graffiti)

The point of THIS page is the collect the data that is attributed to characters who appear in the games and such.

As one of the page idea originators (i did not create the page, but contributed to the idea of HAVING it) i can speak with confidence on that.

The point of this page is only for "im looking for a thing that [character] wrote" not "who authored this piece?"

the second question can and should be established on the article itself
