Hi, Lion King fans! Recently, there's been some discussion on character subpages. Please feel free to input your opinion on the topic. 

What are character subpages?

Character subpages are separate pages that are connected to one main page. They have a / in their title that cause them to be connected to the original page. An example is Canon Characters/Gallery. This page is a subpage of the canon characters page. Their purpose is to limit the amount of content on one specific page.

What's wrong with them?

It's been agreed that the character subpages are not necessary on this wiki. Often, the original pages are far too short to merit any subpages, and usually more than one is created. It is understandable if your character has a very long appearance, personality, history, or a long, informative page in general, but you do not need subpages if you only have several paragraphs.

The Lion Guard Wiki has those subpages, though.

Yes, they do, and that is what most are inspired by. However, there, characters are liable to appear in multiple episodes, have numerous galleries and appearances, and have very long histories on their pages in addition to their appearance, personality, and trivia. That is not the case here.

What if my character's page is really long?

If you wish to give them a gallery subpage, so long as you have plenty of picture to merit one, that is fine. If you wish to give them a different subpage(appearances, trivia, quotes) please contact an admin and they will help you.

If you disagree with any of this, please comment below! All opinions will be taken into consideration!

Recently, I(A Friendly Lion, Royal Lion) have been trying to organize the canon characters gallery. However, after discussing the situation with Songfire (Royal Lion), we agreed that it would be better to clean up the gallery before sorting it. First of all, there are many images that are very similar, very small, or incredibly poor quality. Also, very few of these images have ever been used. As we are a fanon wiki, it is not necessary to have a ton of images that are not used, especially now that the canon character pages have been removed. For this reason, the gallery is being limited to good quality, properly sized images. While removing poor images from the gallery, I'm also doing a minor file cleanup(renaming images with names like Image4829.jpg, deleting images that are in horrible quality, etc).

If you have any questions or comments, post here!

I have been lurking thru the categories and noticed official characters being marked as canon. The characters in the movies The Lion King, Lion King 2: Simba's Pride, and in Lion King 3: Hakuna Matata (Lion King 1 1/2) are NOT canon or semi canon. The only canon/ semi canon characters are those in the following:

• Lion King Six New Adventures
• Lion King Comics
• Lion King Books (ex: A Little Help from a Friend, Morning at Pride Rock, The Brightest Star, etc)

These are the places in which you will find canon and semi canon characters. Those in comics are semi canon, in books they are canon. 

What do we do now?

I took care of the semi-canon characters, but some pages do need to be categorized as Semi-Canon such as...

• Tojo
• Tama
• Malka

These characters are from the comic strips, if there are any more characters who appeared in comics, add them to the semi canon category.

In canon characters, those who need to be added are from the books. Those pages that need to be added are...

• Kula
• Chumvi
• Kopa (yes, Kopa is canon, he isn't official).

... and some other characters who appeared in books.

Now, I will be adding a new category for official characters (those who appeared in the movie like: Simba, Nala, Timon, Pumbaa, Sarafina, Sarabi, Mufasa, Ed, Shenzi, Banzai, Kiara, Kovu, etc). So, these characters who have been accidentally added to canon will be removed from that category and added to official.

I don't mean to sound too desperate for categorizing here, but it was just to clarify who are canon and who are not. If you have any questions regarding a character just ask...

Oh, and one more thing... Characters that you make are your OC's or original characters.

Quick Question

2013 provides a good year to restart. We can use this as a Chance to clean our wiki. I'm already starting on cleaning up, By removing Spam-pages, And Spam-photos, And Blocking Wiki Contributors.
