Infobox: Family members

SayuriDarling·5/17/2016 in Help

Hi guys!

For the infobox, I was thinking that there is really no point in putting "immortal son" or "demigod son" or "paternal/maternal grandmother" or things like that. Instead I was wondering if we could come up with a consensus to simply put "son" or "grandmother". It would make the infoboxes a lot smaller and wouldn't need to be as specific.

What do you think?

EDIT: Let's just fix the whole entire infobox while we are at it. Do we feel the need to list out every single member that someone is related to (such as every single known cabin member) or can we simply put [[Aphrodite Cabin]]?

I agree on the mortal/immortal issue, but I think we need to specify whether certain characters are related through the mother or father's side of the family. So I vote to keep the paternal/maternal bit in the infobox.
Listing just the cabin would work best, as every single member's name can be found by clicking on the page itself. It's kinda redundant to name every single cabin member and then listing the cabin as well.

I agree because like Percy has a immortal brother named Triton. If someone did not know him they might think he is related to Percy on the mothers side or that he is mortal.

Just to be clear, we should keep the paternal/maternal AND mortal/immortal.

I can agree with the brother thing. So for example, we list out Tyson on Percy's infobox because he actually interacts with him etc. I suppose I should say "notable" brothers or sisters. Another example would be Annabeth's relationship. We don't list Malcom out on the infobox, but the Athena cabin instead.

Does this make sense? lol

Edit: Triton isn't even listed on Percy's infobox. Also, it's not like we list "Poseidon" out as the immortal parent. Why would we do it for others?

LOL ? ! What is that you have to say LOL to?you know that it doesn't work for the reason . Yeah it makes sense to me , but you don't have to put LOL after it

The fact that you put two spaces in between everything you write doesn't make sense, but I don't criticize you for it.

lol does not literally mean "laugh out loud" anymore. It is used to show familiarity or give an air of lightness to a conversation.

Back to the real topic at hand.

I think the characters that have been introduced(even if it is just briefly) should be noted down in the infoboxes.

Aunt/Uncle/Nibling(Nephew/Niece)/Grandparent/Grandchild mostly shouldn't be there through the godly side.

The same as how OT doesnt always mean Off Topic.

Ok, the maternal and paternal would be important. Percy is going to have a mortal sister, and if maternal is not added, she could be thought of as a daughter of poseidon.

OT literally only ever means off topic.

Nope it doesn't. It can stand for both.
