Generally speaking, pages of this sort — collections of tropes about species, peoples, nations and cultures — go under character pages, not main or work pages like this one currently is. It would be a good idea to move this page's content to an equivalent character page, I think.

Since this page already has a large number of inbound links, it would probably also be best to turn it into a redirect instead of simply cutting it.

... anyone? There's already some redundancy going on — the character page for the elves seems to be developing its own "general" folder — so I do think it would be wise to move this page's content to one or more character pages. The main question would be whether to keep it concentrated in one page or split it up (i.e., the elves section on the page for the elves, the free men sections of the page for the free men, etcetera).

Deffinitely agree, having it alone like this is just confusing. There's a similar problem over on the Magic: The Gathering character page.

Right, well, would you favor moving all this to a single character page or splitting the folders among the currently-existing ones?

I'm not actually certain I know what you mean about the MtG page, but that's not really for discussing here. We could move this discussion there?

Well, Ask the Tropers also seems to be siding with moving this to the character pages, so that raises another question — in such a move, would it better to split up the folders among the different pages, or to keep a single page like this just under a different url?

Okay, something will still need to be done at some point, so again I'd like to check opinions — would it make the most sense to move this entire page as a block to the Characters/ namespace or to distribute the different cultures' and races' sections among the other characters pages?
