Is it maybe appropriate to add Ankh-Morpork Times to the list of Groups and Organisations? William de Worde's Times is a force to be reckoned with on the Sto Plains..

:Hmm, how about "companies/businesses"? We've got CMOT Dibbler, the Post Office, the Grand Trunk and the AM Times. Probably a few more. Would make an excellent subcategory I think. --[[User:Sanity|Sanity]] 21:02, 2 Oct 2005 (CEST)

I added some more guilds as well. I know there are many guilds listed in the Companion. I tried to add here only the guilds that have had at least a supporting role in the stories, or particularly reflects Discworld, or Ankh-Morporkian, mentality.

==Humanoids==
Igor as a species and Nobbs as one as well?
Corporal Nobbs, we know, has human parents. It is possible, of course, that he is somewhere further or backward on evolution. Biologically speaking, until he has successfully married and produced a human child, we cannot be sure that he is human. Anyhow, in ''Going Postal'', Mr. Groat said there's, fortunately, only one Nobby Nobbs, so he can't breed. Given the general opinion of Ankh-Morpork, it seems appropriately humorous to put Nobby as a separate species.

Igor is a different matter. Being an Igor is as a family tradition, a way of life, a culture, almost a religion or nationality, but Igor is not a separate species. We know that Countess Magpyr has had to biologically become a vampire before giving birth to vampire children. We know that a werewolf breeding with either human or wolf produces monstrous wolfmen who cannot control their shapes as well as a ''true'' werewolf does. These are evidence that vampire and werewolf each is a species separate from human. Igor, on the other hand, marries ordinary girl and their children are very obviously human until extensive transplant surgeries have been performed. An Igor's daughter marries ordinary man and produces ordinary children. If an Igor baby boy has been left as a foundling at the steps of the Clockmaker's Guild, he will not, at a glance, look any different from other baby boys. When people see an Igor for the first time, for example when the Duke and Duchess of Ankh arrived at the Ankh-Morpork Embassy in Bonk, Uberwald, they perceive the Igor as a man who has suffered a terrible accident, which shows that an Igor looks like a human with a lot of stitches. Stitches do not change one's species. Igor should not be put as a separate humanoid species. --[[User:Vsl|Vsl]] 16:29, 18 January 2006 (CET)

: I agree on both points. Interestingly enough, the amazing medical abilities of Igors seem to be heritable. However, on Discworld this does not really have anything to do with genes (e.g. Death -> Susan). --[[User:Jogibaer|Jogibaer]] 20:36, 18 January 2006 (CET)

::I think Igors are a seperate species. They have abilities humans have not, such as appearing right behind their master at any given time. They might be able to interbreed with humans, but that doesn't mean they're completely human. Perhaps we could discuss this on a.f.p. or a.b.p. ? --[[User:Sanity|Sanity]] 22:36, 18 January 2006 (CET)
::Scratch that, found this:
<pre>Terry Pratchett, 17 jul 2002 18:04

I repeat: all Igors are human, male and female. Igorism is cultural.
If the daughter of an Igor takes it into her head to marry a man who
does *not* have stitches all around his head, then that doesn't mean her
children will be half-Igor. I imagine, though, that the Igorinas go in
rather less for the 'total makeover' look.

Leaving aside any 'informal' methods of acquisition, I'm pretty certain
I said somewhere that if an Igor helps you out, it's considered only
fair to allow him or another Igor to help themselves to any still-useful
bits upon your death.-

Terry Pratchett </pre>
--[[User:Sanity|Sanity]] 22:40, 18 January 2006 (CET)

Since this question is now settled, what I am about to say is probably not important. But Igor's "abilities" can both be inherited by, yes, real world genes, and learned as a cultural, family tradition. If an Igor has a son who just can't get the hang of surgeries, he will not appear to others as an Igor (he will probably be kicked out of the family); on and on, people who stay in the Igor family are the boys and men who do not faint at the sight of innards and have deft hands with thread and needles. These traits can be inherited from genes: a less sensitive nose for blood and obnoxious chemicals, less tendency to feel nauseous, a better sense of touch in the fingers, etc. These traits can certainly be acquired or honed with training and practice, and in an Igor family, the father probably starts training his son before the age of five.

Suddenly appearing in the corner behind the employer when the employer calls is a bit more difficult, but such action has also been described as done by Willikins, the Ramkins' butler; he "materialized" when Vimes called him, and "dematerialized" after receiving the instruction; this is around pages 8~9 of ''Feet of Clay'', where an Assassin has just broken Vimes's window and mirror but failed to hit him. Suddenly appearing when called appears to be expected of an ideal butler/manservant.--[[User:Vsl|Vsl]] 01:13, 19 January 2006 (CET)

== Organisations and groups ==

There seem to be a lot of these so why don't we give them their own category. It would be nice to have all the guilds in one place.--[[User:Teletran|Teletran]] 17:37, 25 February 2007 (CET)

==Devices==

Several recent additions are simply ''things'' rather than Discworld [[:Category:Devices|''devices'']], as defined. I don't see the point of listing any object mentioned in a book; it needs to be peculiar to Discworld, magical or adapted to different Discworld conditions. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 13:24, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

==Continuity==
Currently we have the Mended Drum and three archive pages. The main Mended Drum page and archive page 3 are Discworld & Pratchett Wiki while archive pages 1 and 2 are Discworld & Terry Pratchett Wiki. For the sake of continuity which one should it be? --[[User:Zdm|Zdm]] ([[User talk:Zdm|talk]]) 21:59, 29 December 2012 (PST)
:Confusing. There is no namespace "Discworld & Pratchett Wiki", but that's the prefix for the [[Discworld & Pratchett Wiki:Mended Drum|Mended Drum]]. There's a "Discworld & Terry Pratchett Wiki" namespace but you can't search anything in it. I'll put the archives back to the original prefix. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 14:22, 30 December 2012 (PST)
:No I won't. There's no option to move anything to the old namespace which now contains only the Mended Drum, apparently, and if I change the namespace in the links they don't work. Looks like [[Quantum]]. Over to [[User:Osiris|Osiris]]. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 14:40, 30 December 2012 (PST)

==When We Forget==
The whole wiki missed the anniversary of Mr Pratchett's death on Saturday. My excuse is that I'm old and daft; I suppose each has his own. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 02:51, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

==Spam filter again==
Now I'm prevented from editing the Main page because of the supposed content "101,502,138,396" (without the commas), which I don't see in the page nor does the the browser's "find" function. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 03:38, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

[[Category:Wiki Data|Discworld & Pratchett Wiki:Mended Drum]]

==Question==
Depending on usage, I spend ~$40 USD per month hosting this site. That cost has fluctuated as usage has gone up or down over the years. For example, Terry's passage forced a major resource increase for about a week tripling costs that month. Right now the site is sitting on an AWS T1/medium server which hosts both the database and website.

Originally, I had this site setup pretty slick. It sat on a single webserver using a separate Amazon RDS database server and depending on the volume of requests the site spun more instances up as necessary to scale with traffic. I stopped that because using a database on another server doubled the cost and the wife and I were going though a lean stretch.

I'd like to get back to that setup. It's more robust and I don't have to worry about much maintenance. But we're back in that lean time. So my question to the rest of you is would you object to a small paypal donate button being placed on the site to help defray the costs? Donate or not as you see fit. Thoughts? --[[User:Osiris|Osiris]] ([[User talk:Osiris|talk]]) 01:31, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
:I'm up for it, since you say advertising revenue can't be had. I've had near ten years of free entertainment; I don't know how generous the reading public might be. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 03:36, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
:Sounds good, but we'd need to make sure any donate button was clearly enough displayed that any reader could see it, but not so obnoxiously placed as to be annoying. --[[User:AnnieBudgie|AnnieBudgie]] ([[User talk:AnnieBudgie|talk]]) 09:57, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

Go ahead! I'll check the piggybank. [[User:AgProv|AgProv]] ([[User talk:AgProv|talk]]) 11:43, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
:No complaints here. Thanks for hosting the site. If I ever do get my Pratchett course running -- not gonna happen anytime soon, I'm in charge of our journalism ''and'' physics programs now -- I'll make a donation part of my course budget.[[User:Moishe Rosenbaum|Moishe Rosenbaum]] ([[User talk:Moishe Rosenbaum|talk]]) 11:47, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

Got it up! Checkout the sidebar. --[[User:Osiris|Osiris]] ([[User talk:Osiris|talk]]) 23:18, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
:So, how's fundraising going after a couple of months? Has the reading public contributed the first dime? --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 02:33, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

==Featured Article==
It seems to be ages since a Featured Article was nominated as an exemplar of everything that's right about this site. Can I suggest [[Book:Guards! Guards!|Guards! Guards!]] as a candidate? for one thing, it seems to be a rare "completed" book page with no red links leading to empty pages!
:...but that's not the stated objective of the Featured Article. It's a request for improvement, not a commendation. The last thing good articles need is attention from bloat fans and graffiti artists.<BR>
:Since no one ever pays any attention to it anyway, should we change the heading to suggest an exemplar instead? That seems useful and in line with Wikipedia's version, but we'd want to change it a lot more often. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 15:49, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

==BAN HAMMER==
I don't know who you are Mr. "5.9.62.136" but you won't even see this since you've been banned from the server.

I finally got the time to dig around and look into the systems overall stability. Found out >90% of the traffic is from the same IP in Berlin. One ban hammer later, and things are running smoothly now. --[[User:Osiris|Osiris]] ([[User talk:Osiris|talk]]) 03:21, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
:Yay! Best part of being a god is getting to smite the evildoer. (Hmmm, [[User:Death|Death's]] in Berlin, could he...?} --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 03:58, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
::Doubtful, it resolves to static.136.62.9.5.clients.your-server.de . Do you know the address of his site? I can crosscheck it. --[[User:Osiris|Osiris]] ([[User talk:Osiris|talk]]) 15:19, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
:Just wondering if He and Binky could pay the annoyance a salutary visit; sorry...The Diskwiki's address is at the de: link on the Main Page, of course. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 15:48, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
::So I tried to downsize the webserver and we started crashing again. Seriously, this thing gets scanned constantly. I don't mind googlebot or bingbot but AhrefsBot and SemrushBot have got to go. --[[User:Osiris|Osiris]] ([[User talk:Osiris|talk]]) 05:26, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
:I suppose there's no wiki attachment to discourage them? I thought anyone could come up with a new IP address pretty quickly. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 17:07, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
::Updated the [http://wiki.lspace.org/robots.txt robots.txt] file to ban them. But their documentation states it may take up to 2 weeks before they will respect it. In the meantime, I tweaked the webserver config. When one of them hits the server, they get a 403 Forbidden message. CPU & Bandwidth usage dropped like a rock. For the last 6 hours, this server has been running just fine on a micro sized system at 1/4 the cost of the medium sized one it had to be on before. --[[User:Osiris|Osiris]] ([[User talk:Osiris|talk]]) 20:18, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

:::And we've been stable for a week now! --[[User:Osiris|Osiris]] ([[User talk:Osiris|talk]]) 16:15, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

==Encryption==
FYI: I've installed an SSL certificate from the EFF.org provider (LetsEncypt). You can now access this site securely via [https://wiki.lspace.org https://wiki.lspace.org]. You may get a certificate error because not all providers recognize LetsEncrypt by default --[[User:Osiris|Osiris]] ([[User talk:Osiris|talk]]) 20:35, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
:Works for me, once I remember my password. (Russian hackers are everywhere!) --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 21:00, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
::in a couple weeks, once i'm sure this is properly setup and stable, i'll force everyone over to the secure side. --[[User:Osiris|Osiris]] ([[User talk:Osiris|talk]]) 21:33, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

==Harder Spam Filter Problem==
We've patched "'''prĭnter'''" before, but you can't do it in a link. This is cruel to the [[Guild of Engravers and Prĭnters]] and pages like {{TT}}, but I don't see a solution. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 16:40, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
:That's a shame; I'll try this as a workaround for the problem: [[Engravers' Guild|Guild of Engravers and Prínters]] --[[User:Jagra|Jagra]] ([[User talk:Jagra|talk]]) 18:19, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
Ah, I missed that one. Handy that it had an alternative already. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 19:43, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

==Markup for spacing?==
We don't seem to have Wikipedia's "Pad" or "Spaces" templates. Does anyone have a neater way of leaving a space than a string of &Nbsp;?<BR>
Strangely, nowiki doesn't work on the real form of that. See<nowiki> </nowiki>source.<BR>Added [[Template:Pad]]. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 15:22, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

==Thumbnail errors==
Just in the past month, we have this error message for new images (including ''File:Sliderule.jpg'' although it's linked and working): <BR>
''Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127'' <BR>
What's that for? --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 15:22, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

==Namespaces==
To keep a distincion of short stories from books, I have created the Short Story namespace. --[[User:Sanity|Sanity]] 16:09, 5 January 2006 (CET)

==Too many links==
Is it just me, or is it completey useless to have even the '''years''' be actual Wiki links? Is anybody going to go: "Hmmm, ''Mort'' was published in 1987, and -- oh wait, let me see what Wikipedia has to tell me about the year 1987"?

Linking just-because-you-can is merely screen pollution and only causes the truly useful links to become obscured. An abundance of choices is not always helpful.

This is of course a problem I have with Wikipedia in general. Most articles these days are more blue than black, simply because every friggin' word for which an article exists gets. {{unsigned2|11:20, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)|Leo Breebaart}}

: I agree. I overdid it. I've scaled back the links by removing all year links, and linking only the first occurrence of each publisher. --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway]]|[[User talk:Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 14:40, 4 Jul 2005 (CEST)

==Blurbs==
I'd just like to say that most of the blurbs here, I assume they are from the UK editions, are different from the US ones and, ye gods, the blurbs I read here are fun, so much more fun than the US ones. Also the UK blurbs are more Discworld-ly, whereas the US ones seem to try to generalize things, squish too much information in a few words, and end up implying the wrong thing. For example, the US blurb for ''Feet of Clay'' ends with the sentence "Even when the investigation leads to an out-of-work ''golem'', a vampire dragon, and a vegetarian werewolf...."; however, in the book the vegetarian werewolf is a member of the investigation team, not something that the investigation finds, and the investigation hardly ever led to the vampire ''named'' dragon. US blurbs also include weird mistakes, like "Even when one of the victims is murdered with a loaf of her own Battle Bread (available in convenient throwing slices)." for ''Feet of Clay''. I can understand the attempt to squish the commercial dwarf bread with the dwarf bread museum, but they used a female pronoun on poor old Mr. Hopkinson... -- Vsl

==Multiple Editions?==
The (old) Discworld Companion seems to have multiple editions without changing the names. My copy is the "Updated" 2001 version, so on the copyright page I see that first edition was 1994, and my copy was 2001. On some bookseller websites I keep seeing people saying they are selling used copies of 1997 edition. Is there really a 1997 edition? If not, please correct it on the Bibliography page.--[[User:Vsl|Vsl]] 01:28, 1 February 2006 (CET)
:There are mainly 3 different editions (1994, 1997 and 2003), but the paperback release of the first hardback edition has an updated introduction, too. You can have a look at them in the database I created [http://www.ankh-morpork.de/index.php?seite=3010&book=DSVAZ&details=ea here]. It lists all editions that were released in the UK and in Germany. (I removed the US editions when redoing the whole database in 2004). --[[User:Death|Death]] 08:58, 10 February 2006 (CET)

== Diaries and such ==

Where do the 6 diaries, the almanack, the Pratchett Portfolio, the Art of the Discword and the forthcoming 2007 diary come into this list, if at all? Also, I listed Making Money because of its announcement on Paul Kidby's website, but what of ''Nation'', ''Unseen Academicals'' and ''Scouting for Trolls'', which as far as I know haven't had an announcement as such, they were just inferred from interviews. Do they belong in the list? [[User:Thegreatloofa|Thegreatloofa]] 18:33, 8 February 2006 (CET)

-A good point. Also I was wondering if Discworld sources supervised but not actually written by TP should be included in the bibliography or even the individual articles. I am thinking specifically about the PC game 'Discworld Noir' which has lots of interesting facts if it is appropriate to include them. --[[User:High_king_gilgalad|High_king_gilgalad]] 18:15, 12 April 2006 (GMT)

...............two years pass.....................................................................

The introduction to this page and the title of the whole wiki specify the works of Terry Pratchett. A few entries here seem to belong in some other article/list. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 01:05, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

== Is there a place for listing, or discussing, audio adaptions of the books? ==

I ask, because I bought a copy of the "talking book" edition of {{T5E}} at the weekend. It is abridged onto two C90 audio cassettes, and read by Tony Robinson, a man best known for playing Blackadder's sidekick Baldrick. This seems to be about the only release format of Pratchett's books that doesn't have its own separate section in the bibliography. (As those books so far released all appear to be in the same format and are all audiotape editions read by Robinson, it's arguable that this doesn't need too much attention, over and above an acknowledgment that they exist?) I've dealt with the specifics of this particular adaptation in more depth in the discussion pages of {{T5E}}.--[[User:AgProv|AgProv]] 17:08, 15 January 2008 (CET)

:I've tried to list all of [[Stephen Briggs]]'s on his page despite the barriers erected by the publishers; they can be copied and pasted here. By all means dig out Robinson's if you can and just add a section. I think there are older recordings by another reader as well. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 22:39, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

== Numbering Sequence: advice sought ==

Ref. the soon-to-be-released fully illustrated version of {{WFM}}. I have inserted it into the list at no.39, which has necessitated re-numbering the subsequent three working titles.

It occurs to me, however, that both {{E}} and {{TLH}} were originally released as fully illustrated books, and in later editions as text-only volumes. (ie, two releases of the same text, but one eidtion lacks pictures) They each only appear ''once'' in the list, however, by chronological release date. Therefore, should {{WFM}} be similarly treated, perhaps with a note after it first appears as no.31 in the list, to say it will soon be available in a fully illustrated edition, while [[Book:When I Am Old I Shall Wear Midnight|(When I Am Old) I Shall Wear Midnight]], [[Book:Unseen Academicals|Unseen Academicals]] and [[Book:Raising Taxes|Raising Taxes]] retain their previous positions at 39, 40, and 41 respectively?

List extract in question reproduced below and awaiting opinions!--[[User:AgProv|AgProv]] 20:15, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

* 38 [[Book:Making Money|Making Money]] (Doubleday, 2007)
* 39 (31a?)[[Book:The Illustrated Wee Free Men|The Illustrated Wee Free Men]] (Doubleday, release date 11th September 2008)
* 40 (39) [[Book:When I Am Old I Shall Wear Midnight|(When I Am Old) I Shall Wear Midnight]] rumoured, unreleased
* 41 (40) [[Book:Unseen Academicals|Unseen Academicals]] rumoured, unreleased
* 42 (41) [[Book:Raising Taxes|Raising Taxes]] rumoured, unreleased

:As you noticed, different editions and formats have not been listed before and I think it will get much too messy if they are. Anyone wishing to compete with ppint's complete bibliography can add editions to the basic article. I suggest one title = one article. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 00:02, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Advice taken and correction made! --[[User:AgProv|AgProv]] 10:31, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

== snuff ==

I added a (red) link for "Snuff" because at http://paulkidby.com/news/index.html Terry writes that he has already written 20,000 words. --[[User:ArchchancellorJoe|ArchchancellorJoe]] 20:14, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

:I made it a "Book:" article (even though it's just a working title), and moved it over Raising Taxes (since, if it's the ''next'' adult Discworld book, it will come before a book that's only rumoured). [[User:TC01|TC01]] 21:22, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

::And now I've created a short little article (about the same size as the Raising Taxes article) with all the information we know so far- essentially, only what we know from the article.

::: I have moved the the wee free men (illustrated), Snuff, and raising taxes etc into different headings and generally tidied it up.

== Gaming ==

What about the board game [http://www.thudgame.com Thud!] does it deserve to be mentioned? Maby here or on the page for [[Thud]]? -- Regards Kim.

And the play? There's a stage version of ''Thud!'' listed on this page as being published two years before the novel, but I can't find any other evidence of its existence. [[User:Patrick Neylan|Patrick Neylan]] 11:47, 3 January 2012 (CET)
:Neither can I. Methuen doesn't mention it. I think there are more playscripts, but I can't find them; cmotdibbler.com being lost in the dungeon dimensions doesn't help. The Studio Theatre Club has also performed ''Feet of Clay'', ''Making Money'' and ''Unseen Academicals'', but are they published? --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 15:59, 3 January 2012 (CET)

== Terry's pseudonym ==

From 1975 to 1980 Terry used the pseudonym 'Uncle Jim' to write stories for the ''Bucks Free Press'', a weekly newspaper- there is a link, I believe, here: http://terrypratchett.weebly.com/index.html. Are these worth noting somewhere on the wiki, or should they be dismissed? --[[User:Stanley Howler|Stanley Howler]] 21:17, 17 May 2012 (CEST)
:Why not? Just as relevant as Nomes, I should think. [[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 05:24, 18 May 2012 (CEST)

==Character lists/categories on thediscworld.de==
I tried to create such a page half a year ago, dividing the list into main and minor characters but it was a stupid idea. If characters are added to categories, refer to the categorie which will create an automatic alphabetical list. (see: [http://www.thediscworld.de/index.php/Hauptseite] listing some of the main characters on the main page (bottom left) with a link labeled '''more''' which leads to the categorie '''characters''', listing them all) --[[User:Death|Death]] 08:59, 8 Jul 2005 (CEST)
: I like to have both cats and lists. Cats have their points, but lists are more flexible. For instance you can easily refactor a list to re-order it, you can put in headings and subheadings (Discworld, Ankh-Morpork, Ramtops, etc) and still have them all on the same page (unlike subcategories) and each item on a list can have a bullet point with a brief description, beside the name.

: Don't misunderstand me, categories are far-and-away the best tool for organizing Wiki articles. It's just that they are limited because by definition you can only view either one item in any category or one category at a time, and if you're looking in the category all you see is the names of articles (and--this is my pet hate--redirects can't be in cats). Lists have a higher maintenance overhead but they can contain whatever you want. You can have a list of Wizards on the same page as a list of Eric characters. You can list Perdita X Dream as a separate character without writing two articles for Agnes/Perdita. --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway]]|[[User talk:Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 16:39, 8 Jul 2005 (CEST)

::Refering to ''You can list Perdita X Dream as a separate character without writing two articles for Agnes/Perdita'': Try redirects ;-) Write one article called Agnes and make redirects from Perdita, Agnes Nitt, Perdita X Dream etc. So it's not important that everybody who writes articles in this wiki knows how it's called but can use whatever name he likes. --[[User:Death|Death]] 11:29, 9 Jul 2005 (CEST)
: My point is that, while of course you would probably want to use redirects for Perdita, you cannot put a redirected article into a category. Only articles can be put into categories. You would probably have to write a placeholder article "Perdita is an alter ego of [[Agnes Nitt]]" so that you could put the placeholder into a category, which is a bit messy in my opinion, if you really want to write about Agnes and Perdita in one single article. --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway]]|[[User talk:Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 11:57, 9 Jul 2005 (CEST)
:: I see what you mean. --[[User:Death|Death]] 13:28, 9 Jul 2005 (CEST)

==Dialogue in three or more books?==
I added The Luggage as a major character, although, of course, it does not talk. However, it has very special appearances in all the Rincewind books. So hopefully the list headers can be bend a little. That is actually one of the problems. Which categorisation makes sense? It is all in the eye of the beholder. Consider the books, one could devide them into the series (Rincewind, witches, watch,...) or the style (adult, child,...) or by cover artists or or. While all these lists sound great it is really a lot of work to keep them all up to date.

:But that's what categories are for, surely? You can add all sorts of categories, and add a book to wherever it belongs. So for example the Tiffany Aching books can both be "Witches" and "Children". I don't see that as a problem - it's not all black and white.
:As for the dialogue, that is a bit of a problem. Perhaps "Appearing in 3 or more books"? There are also characters who rarely speak, but appear or are mentioned in several books (Amazing Maurice, Mrs. Cosmopolite, Mrs. Cake, to mention but a few) --[[User:Sanity|Sanity]] 12:09, 5 Aug 2005 (CEST)
::If we do something similar to "lead character" and "support character" and also distinguish between serial characters and one-book characters? Then for example Pteppic will be one-book lead character; The UU Dean, Senior Wrangler, Bursar, and company will be serial support characters; Mistress Weatherwax, Missus Ogg, and Magrat Garlick will be serial lead characters? Of course this may be more trouble because, as it has been said, it's all in the eye of the beholder. I for one can't make up my mind whether Perdita is a one-book lead character (for Maskerade) or Agnes Nitt is a serial support character. Also it depends on whether you really wish to have all characters of any level of significance at all listed, because that will make an extremely long page. If you think this idea is worth trying, maybe I can start a new page layout without changing the current characters page, and people can use both, and we'll see after a while which one people like better, and then we can re-link all the stuff? I know it'll be a lot of work... --[[User:Vsl|Vsl]] 25 Sept 2005
:::It is no problem for a character to be in two or more categories. This happened already to some books. E.g. the Tiffany books are in the Tiffany-category, the Witches-category and in the Discworld-category. The different character-categories should be a subcategory of the existing category "Pratchett characters". --[[User:Jogibaer|Jogibaer]] 16:25, 26 Sep 2005 (CEST)
:::I agree. We should really use categories, that saves a lot of work and is more flexible than pages full of links. --[[User:Sanity|Sanity]] 19:04, 26 Sep 2005 (CEST)
:::One mroe perosn agrees here. We should start categorizing the pages. In stuff and locations there has been almsot not catogization at all. In the German Discoworld wiki they use quite many categories per page maybe a little too many but we definatly use too few. [[User:Jeltz|Jeltz]] 21:58, 26 Sep 2005 (CEST)
::::The start has been made ([[Death]],[[Death of Rats]]). The new categories have been made subcategories of [[:Category:Pratchett characters]]. Please remember that an article should not be in a subcategory and its category. As you can see Death and Death of rats are both serial characters, but Death is a leading character and DoR a supporting character. --[[User:Jogibaer|Jogibaer]] 09:16, 27 Sep 2005 (CEST)
::::Looks good! I am glad that a bit of my idea was usable. --Vsl

Someone added quite a number of names in the section for "Major Discworld characters". I am pretty sure that Cutangle, Skarmer Billias and others have only appeared in one or two books. However, I am not certain. Does someone know? --[[User:Jogibaer|Jogibaer]] 11:12, 26 February 2006 (CET)
:They do, but they also belong in the UU/Watch/etc list. Does it make sense to have two lists, one for major and one for minor characters, sorted by category? --[[User:Sanity|Sanity]] 13:01, 26 February 2006 (CET)
:::This list is getting messy again. Can we abandon this list and link the Pratchett Characters category directly to the main page? Then we add new subcategories, such as ''Death Series characters'', ''Rincewind Series characters'', ''Watch Series characters'', ''Ankh-Morpork Series characters'', ''Witches Series characters'', and so on? This also makes characters easier to search than having to search for book names in the articles. By the way, if we're going to do this, I think Rincewind should have his own subcategory, while characters in books like ''Moving Pictures'', although it involves UU wizards, ought to go into Ankh-Morpork series characters. I think the confusion about Cohen being in UU list stemmed from this. In similar manner, William de Worde goes into Ankh-Morpork Series characters instead of Watch Series characters. This will also take care of alphabetizing the list.--[[User:Vsl|Vsl]] 02:43, 22 March 2006 (CET)
:::And I made new subcategories, one for ''Good Omens'', and one I named "Supernatural entities" where I think we can put gods, demons, anthropomorphic personifications, and all the stranger people like sandman, verruca gnome, and so on.

I'm still slightly confused about the character categories. I originally placed Moist von Lipwig in the Ankh-Morpork and The Watch category, but found that an entry for him was already existing in Other Discworld Characters. Considering that he was the protagonist of Going Postal, and most of the action in the book took place in Ankh-Morpork, should he be in the first or second category? --[[User:Neddy|Neddy]] 16:40, 9 April 2006 (CEST)

==Historical Figures==
I added historical figures. Or should they be on the "Stuff" page in History section? -- Vsl
:Here is fine. --[[User:Sanity|Sanity]] 13:26, 10 January 2006 (CET)

why is Cohen the Barbarian on the UU list instead of the Other discworld characters list?
:Don't know, moved him to Other. --[[User:Sanity|Sanity]] 13:26, 10 January 2006 (CET)

== Categories ==
Looking into [[User:Yiftachs|Yiftachs's]] recent character switches, I realized a problem,
or two. The list of "other characters" is becoming large and messy, while "major DW characters" is an editable group, but it's unused (looking like a heading only.) How about putting the truly major characters in it and sorting minor characters into the groups below?
..[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 10:45 EST 10 Sep 2006

==Databases in Wiki?==
Is it possible to have a database for the characters in the Wiki environment? With one page holding every Pratchett character we would lose any confusion over character entry (catagories would be attached to each character on this page). When a template page is created i.e. Watch Series, Bromeliad series, etc. The appropriate characters would be included automatically. Simple enough to do under regular DB apps but I'm not sure with the Wiki.

==Who's where list==
It would be really interesting with a list showing (at least for the major characters) who is in what book. Is there anyone that appears in every single book? I suspect that would have to be Death.
Death appears in all but a few of the books, but not [[Book:The Wee Free Men|The Wee Free Men]]. Possibly other books too, but I am not sure. --[[User:Confusion|Confusion]] ([[User talk:Confusion|talk]]) 06:50, 20 December 2013 (GMT)

== Size isn't everything ==

It's what we do with it. And I think this page is getting rather too big to be of much use. My solution would be:

1) reduce the lists to the major characters (dialogue in multiple books),
2) suffice with a link to the appropriate category for all characters.

Other opinions? --[[User:Sanity|Sanity]] 16:52, 29 August 2007 (CEST)
: No other opinions, but an ACK. Quality is better than Quantity. It's better to have a good list with major characters than a bad list with all characters. And a overfull list is bad. Categories do a better job and are more easily maintained. --[[User:Trublu|Trublu]] 10:10, 30 August 2007 (CEST)

==Sets==
I'm not sure of the need for a separate group of Industrial Revolution Characters (or what we would usually call Ankh-Morpork Series Characters). What about the other characters who overlap these groups? The few groups by milieu seemed to be working ok. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 23:39, 12 November 2013 (GMT)<br>
Again, with Tiffany Aching: too busy for me. This is what categories are for. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 23:42, 12 November 2013 (GMT)
