Administrivia / Character-Specific Pages

Many works have very extensive Character Sheets, but some characters are so popular, have a lot of depth, appear in so many different works of their respective franchise, or just plain Troperiffic, that they can provide an entire page to just themselves.

That doesn't mean all of them are "better" or more important, just filled with enough tropes to become their own pages, and in a few cases indexes.^note A certain Super Saiyan, his antagonist, and his rival managed to gather two pages of their own; not indexes, pages, say nothing of the equine Elvis expy who previously had six before they were trimmed. One of the only other characters to come close is a certain Jedi knight and his Sith identity, who have their own unique pages to themselves.

It should be noted that these characters having their standalone pages is the result of working around the issues the wiki software/server has with Overly Long Pages. Basically if a Character Sheet with multiple characters is getting too large for the wiki, and if a lone character on the sheet makes up a sizable amount, giving the character their own page is a common way to divide the Character Sheet's content into smaller pages.

Before a Character-Specific Page can be launched, several criteria must be met first

1. A new Character-Specific Page will only be considered if the original page is close to 250,000 characters in length.
2. Other options must have been tried first, like splitting pages into further groups. A CSP can only be created if this option isn't workable.
3. The character folder must be cleaned up beforehand, fixing any Zero-Context Examples, removing outdated/misused tropes, and making sure all tropes listed fall under Characters and its related indexes.
4. The potential CSP's character folder must have at least 40,000 characters.
5. The parent page that the potential CSP came from must still have at least 40,000 characters after the CSP is launched.

Some other important notes:

• Monikers and character titles are not allowed in the page's title. (e.g. One Piece: Monkey D. Luffy is preferred over his full in-series moniker: One Piece: "Straw Hat" Monkey D. Luffy)
• Superfluous naming like middle names should be kept to a minimum, especially if it's not something the work draws attention to.
• The original page a character is split off from should still have enough writing to stand on its own (i.e. Having an equivalent byte count to the new page).

These pages are not to be confused with SelfDemonstrating.Character Pages, which is Just for Fun.

No Real Life Examples, Please!; Such a page already exists. Also, odds are almost every single one of these pages will contain spoilers. An extra warning might be given if the character is a spoiler in and of themselves, but that's the only warning you'll get.

See List of Character-Specific Pages for the list of pages. Discussion takes place here.
