For example, the footsoldiers of the Evil Army are the Evil Soldiers. If I were to create pages for these, would I just create an Evil Army page and have the Evil Soldiers be a subsection of that, or would I create an Evil Army and an Evil Soldiers page?

Apologies if I'm bothering you. I just want to make sure I'm not breaking any of this wiki's rules or policies. ---


 * Magma tends to be too busy to respond to individual article questions, he may well, but if it gets lost in the shuffle I wanted to give you some reference, (also I didn't want to hijack his wall hence why I am responding here).

The articles I have seen usually put thugs under the larger organization, indeed often as a subsection, as there usually is not enough about them to write their own page but knowing about them is vital for the issues they cause on behalf of their boss/organization/cause. As for writing about thugs in general that reference nameless robbers, bullies set-up to give the hero a moment of awesome etc. The basic law is make sure the folks you are writing about are actual characters and not Stormtroper # 2384, is all. There was actually a little bit of a kerfuffle about the slaver Moses kills in Genesis a while back as our line in the sand on that.

If you go to the Arachnos page for example I wrote about all the high-commanders all of whom have pages but I put the base soldiers subsections to cover them grunts and their functions, however as one of even those subsections, The Seer Network, had a long a storied history and use, I was cleared to actually make that one it's own page. Arachnos has been on here for nearly half a decade so if you want reference point to what does and doesn't work with listing thugs as subsets you can probably use that.
