There presently seems to be an issue with the template being used to tag NPCs involved in multiple storylines (see [[Drangell]]'s page for what it's doing).

There presently seems to be an issue with the template being used to tag NPCs involved in multiple storylines (see Drangell's page for what it's doing). Is there a workaround for this or is it something in the template itself that must be tweaked? THAYET (talk) 05:42, 9 August 2016 (CDT)
- The template wasn't built for more than 1 storyline. I made the template and asked for input on the template and help page and this is the first response, so thank you. I'll work on adding more storyline fields. VANKRASN39 (talk) 10:27, 9 August 2016 (CDT)
- Last night was the first chance I've had to sit down and do some wiki work, unfortunately. I appreciate the modifications. I'd like to work on getting this template as well as some general copyediting done on all the Landing's storyline NPCs over the next week. THAYET (talk) 12:04, 9 August 2016 (CDT)

- Importance feels like too subjective a statement for an infobox, personally. When I started putting them on pages I realized I really didn't know enough from the glut of information to make that call, so I left it blank. Relationship in general feels more important than family in this context but it does get weighed down very quickly as a field, so I'm not sure what to suggest there. Maybe a separate category for organizations or affiliations? Or leave it to familial relationships just to avoid clutter. THAYET (talk) 12:04, 9 August 2016 (CDT)

- Dead is subjective, but still helpful IMO. It can always be changed later if their situation changes.
