Forum:A small proposal on Campaign mission pages

Forums: Index → War Room → A small proposal on Campaign mission pages

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I'm very tired so to put it simply and shortly, akin to what we do with the weapons on the campaign pages, (put images of weapons appearing inside the mission), I propose we do that with characters as well. It doesn't have to include randomly generated characters, just ones key to the storyling or that mission.

Idea - Also make the images around 150x150px (Just a quick number) and links to the character page. Twig _(Talk) 09:22, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

^Me Gusta above. I make it part of the proposal. Blackout^{I'm back!} 10:34, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

This could work if a character has a signature weapon (E.g Gaz's G36c)File:AdvancedRookieSig2.png 13:42, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

Has alreadt been proposed before and failed. No, that proposal is completely different. File:Weapon skorpion large.pngBlackout^{I'm back!}File:Weapon skorpion large.png 02:49, November 21, 2011 (UTC)

We could put that on the weapon's page, but what I'm proposing is the following: take as an example the mission Blood Brothers. We have a subsection with the images of Soap, Yuri, Price, Nikolai, Kamarov, and Makarov with the links to their pages, as to show which crucial characters appeared in that mission.

I guess we could, however it could only be crucial characters, but we would need to decide who's crucial and who's not.File:AdvancedRookieSig2.png 13:54, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

The only problem I see with this? In most of the CoD games, the playable character doesn't have a model. What would we do for that? File:Ireland flag.gifCoaZ^TalkFile:Ireland flag.gif 18:30, November 20, 2011 (UTC)

^ We could just have a bulleted list. Shotrocket6 00:56, November 21, 2011 (UTC)

This is a pretty good idea. The Wikia Contributor ^Talk 23:58, November 20, 2011 (UTC)

Per SR6 File:Weapon skorpion large.pngBlackout^{I'm back!}File:Weapon skorpion large.png 02:49, November 21, 2011 (UTC)

In the case of characters we rarely see the models of, such as Yuri or Frost, those "pictures" will get quite repeptitive especially in the case of Yuri. THEROFLBOAT ^talk 06:53, November 24, 2011 (UTC)

But the point isn't to make Yuri look pretty by posting different pics of him on different pages... We're simply documenting the appearence of specific characters. If one pic is all we have, then that's all we get..File:Weapon skorpion large.pngBlackout^{I'm back!}File:Weapon skorpion large.png 20:27, November 24, 2011 (UTC)

Well don't most of the articles (within the articles) state who is in the mission? (random example) "Soap then whent here with Price and Kamarov killed Shepard." What I'm trying to say is that within most articles, the character and there roles are stated in the main article itself. Redskin-2623:04, November 24, 2011 (UTC)

Kamarov, for example, appears in I believe one mission in MW3. Say there is someone looking for that specific mission, (inb4 just go to kamaravov's page) they merely have to go to all the mission pages and there is an image of Kamarov on that page.

Question — What happens to the pictures of the Characters, what about inconsistancys about what pictures are used on each page, and what if edit wars break out over which picture looks better on the page, I was just thinking about this and it crossed my mind.. Redskin-2617:48, November 26, 2011 (UTC)

The Image that we use on the character's userbox on his page is the one we use on the mission page,File:Weapon skorpion large.pngBlackout^{I'm back!}File:Weapon skorpion large.png 12:32, November 27, 2011 (UTC)

I could see it, but as Cod4 brought up, most player characters don't have models. Other than that, it seems like a decent idea, as long as it looks decent on the page. D_47 21:08, November 27, 2011 (UTC)

Maybe you should make a sandbox of it like I did for my proposal. Redskin-2623:13, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

Looks pretty good. REDSKIN-2614:56, December 3, 2011 (UTC)

Excuse me for being picky, but if we do decide to use Maj. Blackout's idea, please use a picture from that mission in character appearances. :| DarkMetroid567 Not Disavowed :P 01:59, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

While that is a nice idea, I do believe you play as Yuri for more than three missions, and we only have 3 pictures of him. Soap, for example - we have no MW1 images whatsoever so that renders the point of your suggestion void. We have to be consistent. Blackout^{I'm back!} 06:13, December 5, 2011 (UTC)
