* 2016 Oct: Oh boy. NPCs with dialogue are like vip people. Seems to me there should be a VIP category. If not, call it NPC. But what we have atm are most NPCs don't have pages (missing/needed pages), a few NPCs with pages but 3 different templates in use amongst them. Metzger for example is using the standard "Critter" template with all the details. I don't think we should use this template for vip NPCs. Next we have some using Critter2 template which shows far less details, good but includes a "Proto ID" which may have no value to us now. The NPC template i like is "NPC" which i have updated a bit. Started using it (Boyce, Doc Larrakin, Sassy Givens) but then noticed there is no NPC Category (or VIP Category). Found existing NPC pages are in Critter Category, which seems wrong to me. Critter should be life we encounter in the wild, often non-unique, not always hostile but not the VIPs. '''Next Hot Topic''' is creating the VIP pages needs to be done thoughtfully as most VIPs have only a first name. Do we really want a page called simply "Mitch"? There are two NPCs named Mitch, and both are in Hub. So i suggest we name these pages with more detail, like "Mitch the Short Merchant". There may only be one Smitty now, but i made his page [[Smitty the Repairman]] to distinguish him from some future additional Smitty.

Over 28 million combined experience points in Season 1, my 32 characters have been a learning curve experiment continuing from 2238. I'm glad to help this project in some way, even if just editing the wiki. I hate wipes but i admit i am looking forward to the changes in Season 3.
