Been looking at sprucing up the pages for some of the fictional characters within the DWU and wondered if some extra fields could be added to this to make it more suitable. We currently have a "made by" field which doesn't exactly sound right for fictional characters - I was thinking perhaps a "created by" field. And then perhaps fields for both "franchise" and "work of origin"?

:This sounds reasonable. Relatedly, I'd also appreciate "type" and "used by" fields, since I've been thinking about how we could better suit [[The Doctor's TARDIS]], who has relatives but also a user. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 17:11, 15 February 2021 (UTC) | :This sounds reasonable.

::Sounds good to me also, same reply a above. However, @Nate, as you'll recall, a lengthy thread concluded that the TARDIS should keep an {{tlx|Infobox Object}}, even if she might technically be an individual ''as well as'' an object; I'm not necessarily in personal agreement with that ruling, but [[T:BOUND]] very much applies. The non-T:BOUND-violating way forward, here, would instead be to add relatives and "played by" variables to the Object infobox, not the reverse.

:::Fields for fictional characters sounds like a genuinely useful addition.
