Just an idea I had, but could this page do with a character page, and maybe separate pages about the four versions?

A page for each version would probably be needlessly complicated. After all most serial works don't have different pages for each season, as it were.

As for a character page... well, unless it was based off the V.I.P page on the SotF wiki, you'll have a hard time. There's a stupid amount of characters out there.

Was pondering how hard it would be for a Sot F Character page, but if it ever happened the character page would pretty much have to be divided up by version, and then maybe one more page for 'non-student' characters, like the terrorists and any other side characters. It would be difficult, but... not impossible, I don't think. Though, counting up, between all four versions (not including minis) there's 712 students. So that's a lot of characters.

The first sentence sounds like a contradiction. An entirely original plot based off Battle Royale? The plot concept is even the same, school students, school trip, collars, weapons.

Original in that it is not a government sponsored 'Act' taking place in a nation in the grasp of a dictatorship. I wouldn't say having the same premise - that students are abducted and put onto an abandoned island - is the same thing as the plot being the same.

Yeah, it's obviously based off Battle Royale, but it doesn't use that work's universe. There are probably some parts of the wording that can be questioned and I'm not saying you're flat out wrong, but I'm pretty sure the person who originally wrote the article took it as the plot being the characters, their actions, and the background to what takes place. None of that's the same as B R.

So after reading the main page, I'm interested in following the events of SotF. Seems like it could be a really good read for a Battle Royale fan like myself. But after checking it out, I can't figure out how I'm supposed to follow it. Everything is scattered around. Am I supposed to pick a character and follow them until they die? Or read everything and somehow figure out what order it's in chronologically? And for that matter, is there any way of reading past versions? If someone could help me with this, it would be appreciated.

Unfortunately, by nature the RP can be pretty dang hard to follow. Generally it's done in the same fashion as you yourself suggested. Read by character rather than try to figure out a chronology (it's been attempted before and it's all but impossible).

Past versions are all on the boards. There's a lot of information on the site's wiki and characters are generally suppposed to have links to all their threads (sadly a wip as opposed to a finished project) - it's all archived in any case, so the old versions are still there.

Why is this indexed on the Useful Notes for Poland page?

Somebody on the Poland page started a list of fictional polish people, which was inside the portion of the page that was designated as index markup. As such, since every character name was potholed to the relevant series, it meant that all of those work pages got the Poland index.

I've removed the list from that page for being not under the scope of Useful Notes, so the markup should be gone now.
