Talk:The Dalek Dictionary (feature)

Discussion page

"Characters" section?

True, there's no narrative for these characters to participate in, but unlike User:Borisashton, I am of the opinion that it is helpful to readers for the ==Characters= section to be present, rather than burying the characters in the middle of the ==References== section.

In my opinion, it's major information about The Dalek Dictionary that it 'features' Zolfian, Yarvelling, Drenz and the Emperor, so a quick scan of the page should be able to make that clear to the reader even if they don't necessarily want to hear all about what the Dictionary has to say about Dalek greetings, never-otherwise-mentioned extinct birds, or bleedin' screws. --Scrooge MacDuck 20:45, December 8, 2019 (UTC)

Since this, I posted my more major edit which was mostly composed of a section called ===Impact on the ''Doctor Who'' canon===. It goes way more in depth about Zolfian, Yarvelling and Drenz than was previously on the page as well as a bunch of other stuff. The note about the creation of the Daleks is also still present in the lead. In my opinion, I think this looks alright. --Borisashton 15:55, December 9, 2019 (UTC)
I have seen it. And, I mean, it's great. But likewise, ordinary story pages usually mention all the characters in their ==Characters== sections in the "Summary" section, but that's no reason not to have the easy-to-browse standardized "Characters" section on all pages for consistency. --Scrooge MacDuck 17:31, December 9, 2019 (UTC)
But The Dalek Dictionary isn't a story and it isn't dabbed or categorised as such .I maintain that even if it were they're just mentioned so the "Characters" section would be empty. --Borisashton 17:50, December 9, 2019 (UTC)
