The Harvest Moon Wiki talk:Character Create

= Current Format = Theres two ways to approach this. The current way seems to be tag every single character with a game title so they aren't confused with another character. This is fine and all up until you have reoccurring characters like Karen and Witch Princess.
 * Problem with game tags, people tend not to name characters with tags. Hence you'll get a lot of red links when people just simply type in the name of the character.

Although reoccurring characters aren't exactly the same. There personality, family, likes, and dislikes might be the same from previous games. The approach someone took on this was to just make one page and name it ambiguous.
 * Problem occurs that there needs to be redirection to each and ever occurrence of the character. Hence someone needs to do maintenance on the ambiguous pages each time one occurs up. Such as Karen you would need to add links on that page every time she appears up in a new game as well as a make a new page for her solely for the new game.

Suggestions
My suggestion is to take away the game tags, and allow sub-pages to guide the character as to which game character they are looking at. For example Harvest Goddess/Sunshine Islands would be the Harvest Goddess from the game Sunshine Islands. No confusion there, and if they happen to want to know more about the history of the character they can go back to the parent page. --Lord0din69 08:36, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Fixes red links
 * Fixes some ambiguous redirects
 * Problem, People would need to know to create new character under this format.
 * Problem, Subpages aren't that friendly in searches.
