Contents 1 "Current task" parameter 2 Spoilers 3 Timeleftonsentense and location 4 Sentence and backnumber

[edit] "Current task" parameter

The reason I removed this parameter is because it is not encyclopaedic. The infobox should give a brief overview of who the character is and should avoid any fancruft. Please see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction) for more details. Regards, Ladida 09:04, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spoilers

Although spoilers can't be avoided, I've removed "roles" and "current status" parameters to minimise spoilers. However, the main reason for removing "current status" is that most characters' deaths are unclear, which lead to many reverts and edits to the infobox in the character's article. -- Ladida 06:59, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

If people don't heed to the very visible spoiler warnings and continue to read the spoilers... then is it not their own fault? I don't think we should censor due to spoilers. See Wikipedia:Content disclaimer. Wikipedia is after all an encyclopaedia, first and foremost we should be promoting knowledge, that includes spoilers. Matthew 07:42, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Timeleftonsentense and location

I removed these two options. They depend on the episode. The latter was a great trick to replace status with. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:48, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sentence and backnumber

These options have a problem. Since we have two prisons and people sentenced with different penalties into different prisons. Since we are heading to season 4 I think we can removed them. -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:24, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
