| + | Hi again, Bart / Patrick. The articles for a lot of major characters have redirects in the system so that their first name goes to their article. So, for example, to link to Marge Simpson's article and just have "Marge" show on the page, you don't need to type <nowiki>"[[Marge Simpson|Marge]]"</nowiki>. Typing just <nowiki>"[[Marge]]"</nowiki> will work fine. Some wikis don't like having people use the redirects, but we're not only OK with the redirects, we also encourage people to use them as it makes working on the articles a little easier. Thanks again for your work, and hope that helps you out. -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] 15:43, September 24, 2010 (UTC) | ||

Character Categories (Recurring, THOH)
Hi, please check the definition of a recurring character before you put the category onto any other character pages. Characters such as Homer, Lisa, and Abe are considered main characters, not recurring. In general, a recurring character is someone who is seen occasionally, or even regularly, but not all the time, and therefore not quite often enough to be considered a main character. Examples on the show include Fat Tony, Groundskeeper Willie and the Flanders family members. Solar Dragon or one of the other admins could probably provide more detail on exactly what constitutes a recurring vs. main character. Thank you. -- Mythigator 13:28, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
- Also, please ask about the Treehouse of Horror characters category before you remove it from any more characters. I'm not sure about the criteria for applying it, but as with the recurring category, it would be good to ask first and act later, after you're informed.

Linking Tip - Use the Redirects
Hi again, Bart / Patrick. The articles for a lot of major characters have redirects in the system so that their first name goes to their article. So, for example, to link to Marge Simpson's article and just have "Marge" show on the page, you don't need to type "[[Marge Simpson|Marge]]". Typing just "[[Marge]]" will work fine. Some wikis don't like having people use the redirects, but we're not only OK with the redirects, we also encourage people to use them as it makes working on the articles a little easier. Thanks again for your work, and hope that helps you out. -- Mythigator 15:43, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
