Forum:NPCs removed from game

I've been wanting to bring this up for awhile and since 4.0.3a is probably going to concern this the biggest so far...

Shouldn't NPCs/mobs, at least named ones, still contain their racial and affiliation categories? While the other categories can be removed. 21:56, 30 November 2010 (UTC)


 * I guess in theory removed NPCs and mobs should be removed from all categories and go into a separate category for removed content. I'm not familiar enough with past practices to give a fully informed opinion, that's my take though. --Bellocois (talk) 05:19, 1 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, my original justification for keeping Fiora Longears in Category:High elves was that even if the NPC was removed from the game, it doesn't mean the character retroactively never existed in lore. - LucidFox (talk) 05:38, 1 December 2010 (UTC)


 * That's actually why I brought this up... but I was talking on the IRC and we decided lore/major characters can keep their categories, if they get removed.... one such example can be Cairne Bloodhoof. 07:49, 1 December 2010 (UTC)


 * This could be tricky if categories are added by infobox templates. For the most part we are safe, I think, but we should keep an eye out for this. --[[Image:gengar orange 22x22.png]] Fandyllic (talk &middot; contribs) 11:05 AM PST 1 Dec 2010
