Wowpedia:Appearances project

The appearances project is all about categorising and labelling Warcraft characters based upon where they have appeared, using appearances.

Which characters?
Every Warcraft character, including units from the RTS games and NPCs from WoW should use the template.

Ordering
Ordering is by whatever order the template is given inputs - it is not ordered by the template.

Currently ordered by publish date of the appearance, except for novels - which follow the in-universe chronology. See Wowpedia:Appearances project/Order.

Article location
The section, titled, should appear before "See also", and after any character quotes. See also Wowpedia:Manual of Style.

Shorthand schema
The template uses similar schema to cite, i.e. Wowpedia:Book citation index.

See Template talk:Appearances for documentation.

What is categorised?
Games, RPGS and novels categorise into a " characters" category.

How
New category under Category:Characters, Category:Characters by appearances.

All appearances categories move under here. Character articles should no longer need to specify their appearances.

WoW NPCs can be dealt with separately, but the category will need some reorganising.
