Talk:Codex Alera

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isn't this all a bit spoiler-y? For example, shouldn't it be possible to list and describe the characters, without mentioning all the major plot points? Then, maybe, after those, have a spoiler section with a synopsis. What do you think?

Wiki isn't a fansite, so if the best way to frame the page is to have spoilers throughout we shouldn't make special concession. I'm not saying either way is better, however, and this page needs a lot of work. - Debuskjt 19:25, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, I was thinking more about how the way almost all other movie and novel and play pages are done: they usually have a spoiler divide before getting into the nitty gritty details. Novium 21:59, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Someone needs to look at WP:Plot "Wikipedia articles on published works (such as fictional stories) should contain real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's development and historical significance, not solely a detailed summary of that work's plot." Articles get deleted regularly that are just plot summaries.--Doug Weller (talk) 19:58, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Castes of Canim

To me it seems that there are only 3 castes of Canim. The "Hunter" caste seems to be a specific role of some warriors, just like the legion has scouts. They don't count the smiths seperate from the farmers and the other makers. None of the Canim ever called the hunters a caste and the Alerans considered the scouts proof that there was a more organised army and not just raiders. 208.81.184.4 (talk) 13:05, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
