Our Character Pages are a bit more specific than Screened as they are devoted to each character's incarnations unlike the case of Scott Summers aka Cyclops which only gives a general overview of his various appearances in the TV series and movies. I do think our way is better and more detailed even though it's going to cost us a lot of time and effort to create individual pages for each character's appearance.

I have created a sort of generalized overview and background bio bit for Spider-Man and the Joker which I've been simply reusing on their separate character pages which I think works better. I think it does make more sense in the long run as some of these characters' differ quite from TV series to TV series and movies.

I also wondered why for the most part, Screened seemed to prefer to use the real names for certain superheroes. I remembered trying to argue with one of the Admins about retitling Bobby Drake and Angelica Jones as Iceman and Firestar respectively as it seemed that people would know them better by their aliases rather than their real identities. They refused too, preferring to stay with the Real IDs. About the only ones that they stuck to using the superhero aliases was Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man though.

But looking at Screened design template, I am thinking that perhaps we should revamp our own design with a tab key for character images. I think we should note that it should be limited to official pics not fan art, although I think there are some particularly good artists out there; this is not a site for them. Also the character pics are not group ones or if they do have multiple characters in it, the character has to be prominently in them not in the background or something.

But I think we need to do something about the character quotes section. I still leaning towards a clear division, breaking the "Trivia & Quotes" into two separate sections. And as far as quotes go, I'm happy with limiting it to one liners. That is a quote after all. I have seen Taka's test quote box and it's a good start, I do think it needs some adjustments. Sorry, Taka. ""   ― I like how the colorized box separates the quote from the rest of the page but the  symbols is a flaw.

I am also wondering how would we go about quoting dialogue between two or more characters? I think that we should think about something else for that. One liners on a character page is one thing but for dialogue, we may need to think about say a separate page like a tab keyed to the movie page itself? For TV quotes, perhaps we can stick a section in the specific episode page? Again, I think we may need to think about separating the "Trivia & Quotes" section for the TV Episode Page as well.

What do you guys think?
