thread_title: Updated Minor Characters - Season 4

message: It was revealed in the latest episode that Sucre was robbing the store alone to get money for an engagement ring, as oppose to robbing it with his friends.
It was also shown that Hector called the police.
I thought that Sucre was sentenced to only five years not seventeen...?--Chaos Ninja 23:45, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Sucre

message: There is a separate page for the character of Michael Scofield. It may have some redundant information. That information could be merged here, although that would make Michael have a lot more information than any other character. For now, I've just added a link at the bottom of his profile to his page. -- Simpatico 09:04, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A lot of it is the exact same information.  I think we can limit Michael's bio on this page to just a few sentences then add everything else to his own page. Jtrost 18:05, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds good to me. :) -- Simpatico 05:12, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

text: My opinion is that there shouldn't really be a Michael Scofield page, and that the info should be merged here. If the information becomes too widespread, it becomes more difficult to locate and utilize that information. --Dogbreathcanada 08:35, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That would be more efficient. However, we have more information on Michael's character than any other character, and it would be odd to have a relatively large, in-depth bio on him while the others have merely a paragraph. —simpatico hi 09:13, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: He is the main character, the focus of the show. Why should it be otherwise? And information on the other characters can certainly be added as the show progresses. --Dogbreathcanada 09:30, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nevermind. I see your point. And the addition of the "main page" link is more than enough. I withdraw my original argument. --Dogbreathcanada 09:40, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Michael Scofield Wiki Page 

message: Should we have a section for guest stars and short-lived characters? These characters should be crucial to the development of the plot in some way. I'm only on episode three, but I'm specifically thinking of the Leticia Barris character, for instance. --Dogbreathcanada 08:35, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Haywire, for instance? We may need the show to have been on the air longer before we do this, but it's a good idea. —simpatico hi 09:12, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The show to have been on longer? I'm not suggesting a new Wiki page, simply a new section to this page. A sentence or two about each guest character would be sufficient, along with the episode(s) they appeared in. --Dogbreathcanada 09:32, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

text: I added the section as a concrete example. You can remove if you want, though I think it would be valuable to expand upon it as the show continues. --Dogbreathcanada 09:39, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's good, although I would change the title - "The Missing and the Dead" is too exclusive. I guess I couldn't think of many characters to add but now I'm thinking of them: I'd put Quinn, Nika, Lisa Rix & Stepdad, CO Louis (although he may be better in Prison Staff, he's around a lot), CO Bob, Philly, Haywire, Maricruz, etc in this category. Most of them wouldn't need more than a sentence or two and which episodes they appeared in. It could be a bulleted list. —simpatico hi 09:57, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If you can think of a better title for the section, go with it. That was the best I could come up with and I wasn't satisfied with it. As I said, I haven't got through all 13 eps yet. --Dogbreathcanada 10:29, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

However, in episode 8, when Michael approaches him about burning down the CO break room, Westmoreland says "I've made it a point to keep my nose clean ever since I got here, thirty-two years without a single incident", or something along those lines, the "thirty-two years" was definitely in there.

message: Can I suggest again to only having the deceased mention for characters in the small profile on them. I understand there is a spoiler tag but I think the mention of whether they are dead should not be right under their picture. Mainly so that people who are perhaps not up to date will not immediately notice the mention. Lummie 00:58, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Then what is the point of the spoiler tag? --T smitts 09:10, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed all the status information from the characters since someone put in "captured" under Tweener. This is to prevent other status additions. I did this because the main purpose of this page is to provide information on who that character is - not are they dead. Their status is mentioned in their individual pages and for some, in their description in this article. The spoiler tag is really for the character developments although I do see that point. However, I think we made an agreement a few months ago that the status should not be mentioned under the names of the characters but rather in their individual articles and if they do not have that, then in their descriptions in this article. This is just to ensure that this article does hopefully conform to some encyclopaedic standard. -- Ladida 13:26, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I've reordered the list of secondary characters in alphabetical order in their respective sections. I would have also liked to reorder the main characters in alphabetical order, however, I wasn't sure if people would prefer Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows to remain at the top of the list. Anyway, it would be better to order the characters list in alphabetical order, so that it's not always reordered and it is easier to locate the characters that way. I noticed people reorder the list due to current relevance or importance but that's subjective, thus let's leave it in a stable order. Should we order the main characters in alphabetical order to maintain consistency? -- Ladida 06:59, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This entire list is reordered. Most "list of characters" pages are ordered alphabetically. It allows the reader to search for the character easily and prevents POV issues. -- Ladida 13:39, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ordering 

message: I've merged some of the minor characters' articles into this article because some of them just don't deserve their own article (yet) due to notability reasons. To make it more readable I reformatted the page. I haven't filled in the episodes that those characters appeared in, maybe somebody can do it. Since these characters don't appear in every episode (I know some main characters don't either), it may be more interesting to put down the episodes they appear in.
When writing about these characters, try to adhere to Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction). Please write about the character, the actor who portrays the character, and behind the scenes with references etc. and refrain from writing about the series' plot. -- Ladida 13:26, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Firstly, I removed them because I am trying to keep the template consistent with the other Wikipedia character templates. Secondly, I am personally getting tired of updating it every week or checking to see if each one is updated. Thirdly, these numbers have no encyclopaedic value compared to the rest of the article. Thus, the parameter has been changed to "Season" instead. Regards, Ladida 06:07, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I've recently restructured Alexander Mahone's article to follow other fictional character articles which are either of a good or featured article status. I was wondering if there is anyone who could help me revamp all the other Prison Break characters article; mainly to reduce the "Appearances" section which should be brief. -- Ladida 06:08, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Characters' articles

message: Since this article is supposed to be a list, I thought it should look like all the lists in Wikipedia. Also, this allows the addition of all the minor characters in the series. Larger descriptions of recurring characters (which do not warrant their own individual article) can go into a separate article called "Minor characters in Prison Break" or something. Another reason for proposing this is because these characters are hard to put into specific groups (sections) since some of their roles continue to change. Regards, Ladida 12:05, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

And I do realize that the show has mentioned why this is, but I'm just trying to make a point -- you can be siblings and not have the same name.  How do we know one of them (Steadman/Reynolds) didn't change their last name/name in general?  Just a thought. ;-) -6xB 03:04, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

message: For main characters, it says "The characters listed in this section are those whose portrayer has appeared in the opening credits.

Good, except one problem: Michael (played by Wentworth Miller) has always come after Lincoln (Dominic Purcell) in the opening credits.  I didn't want to change it 1) without verifying this first, and 2) because I didn't want to mess up any formatting.  -6xB 03:00, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Susan B. Anthony 

message: I made two edits, changing Veronica's season 2 status from recurring to main cast because she's credited in the opening titles in episode 1, and does not appear again. I also removed season 3 from Sara's recurring section. Then I thought again, and I guess it could go either way. So I'd thought I'd bring it up: should season 3 be considered a recurring season for Sara? The actress is not credited and does not appear at all that season, and we never actually see her face. But, we do see the character talking to Michael in one episode (of course it's not Sarah Wayne Callies' voice), so technically that could count as an appearance. I'm just skeptical because we never actually see the character's face and the actress does not portray her. I'm completely fine if that edit is reverted back, just thought I'd bring it up. Thanks.

message: Since we have a well establishes List of minor character I think instead of having a 1-line description for many characters we can remove everything and put a See also at the end of the Main characters list. -- Magioladitis (talk) 20:57, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Ok. We have many duplicates. We can add some 1-line descriptions for ultra minor characters. But really some characters with only one appearance don't have to be mentioned. -- Magioladitis (talk) 21:55, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

text: If they appear in only one episode, we souldn't include them, because if they only appear in one episode, they could easily be merged in the episode article, so I'm afraid Clozza should be removed, as should the other one-shot characters in the page. -- Matthew R Dunn (talk) 12:14, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Minor characters 

message: There has been talk about merging character articles about such characters as Lechero, Sofia, Gretchen or Don Self. I feel that if any of these characters are merged, they should not (as has been propsed) be merged into the "list of minor Prison Break characters". They appear or have appeared in the opening credits, therefore I find it more reasonable to merge them to this article instead. There is of course the possibilty that they will never be merged, but I sense were the wind is blowing on this subject, with the merge of all the recurring character articles as the sign of things to come. This might not be a bad thing, since the notebility on some of them are a bit vague.
My point is that if such characters are merged into this section, this page needs a new format, something close to the one used on the Minor Characters page. The StarCraft Character article has done something similar as well. The "Notes" section is just too small to support slightly larger bios without looking crowded. What do you think? Darthdyas (talk) 19:27, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Great! Perhaps the format of the list of characters as displayed here is better used on the Prison Break main article (probably without the notes section, though). The 24 main article has a similar format on the character section on its main page it looks good IMO. Darthdyas (talk) 19:40, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I just made a re-format for the page and I also changed the "main character" section on the main page, but this is just a suggestion from me. I'm not that good with creating a good layout and stuff so just undo it if it's too poorly made. Darthdyas (talk) 22:36, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  New Page Format? 

message: What is everyone's consensus on this? I'm a bit undecided myself, since it might make for a very long article. Perhaps if the merge is made, we should re-evaluate who does and doesn't make it to the list? 2 appearances isn't a good criteria, IMO, because one could create an endless list then, according to imdb: Judge Kessler, Detective Slattery, Cooper Green, Cam Mahone, Turk, Bo, Crab Simmons, Judy Pope, President Mills, Ed Pavelka, etc. I could go on and on. IMO, characters with only two episodes should be trimmed if the merge is made. Darthdyas (talk) 12:41, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm refering to the list of minor characters. Some users want to merge the articles into one. Since I feared that would make it too long, I suggested we cut all characters with only 2 appearances since that doesn't really count as recurring. I think the limit should be 4 or 3 appearances instead. Darthdyas (talk) 16:46, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd rather keep the two pages myself now that I think about it. Unless anyone objects, I'll be removing the merge notices. -- Matthew R Dunn (talk) 17:55, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

text: User:Everyoneandeveryone who added the tag should also start a discussion in the talk page. A tag alone means nothing if the reasons for this suggestion are not explained.

message: Continueing with the merges, how does everyone feel about Abruzzi? The character has a smaller role than Veronica, who has already been merged, but it would be good to know where everyone stands on this? -- Darthdyas (talk) 23:32, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd go ahead with it. I'd personally would like the characters who have appeared in generally only one season be merged first (like Abruzzi here, as well as Whistler and Lechero). -- Matthew R Dunn (talk) 00:18, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I'll merge Don Self too since he is a one-season character as well, unless anyone objects. I do think we should keep Gretchen though, at least for now. I think she has notebility and could make a good article, if only we find some off-universe opinions from critics and such. -- Darthdyas (talk) 12:29, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The series is over. Can you please start merging Gretchen Morgan? -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:30, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

text: The reason Abruzzi was merged in the first place was because it was non-notable; it was just virtually all plot detail, none on out-of-universe content like the creation behind the character, the casting, development, the reception. So unless you intend to make it notable like that, I would recommend against recreating the Abruzzi page. -- Matthew RD 16:36, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

text: That's just plot. You haven't been reading my previous post properly. Articles like Abruzzi needs more than just plot. Howabout sourced information regarding how the producers created the characters, the process behind casting Stormare, how the producers developed the character, what people thought of the character. Recreating a page with just plot will get merged again, and we'll be back at square one. -- Matthew RD 16:19, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
