{{helpme}} What exactly is the official line on the "Home and Away" pages? Ironically just as I was thinking you need some more someone seems to have decided you need less, creating an environment when it seems any page can be deleted on a whim.I acknowledge the current set-up is far from perfect:there is a clear bias towards recent characters and events, many pages are in need of updating and there's a tendency to create character pages for people who were always intended as short term.(My recent edit(s) of the character list reflects those who were confirmed as regulars and there's at least a couple there I'm reserving judgement on.)But you're in danger of throwing the baby out with the bath water here.If being a major character in a long-running and popular series doesn't qualify you for inclusion you need to lose hundreds of pages and if you don't like pages that recite a character's fictional history you need to lose thousands. It's got to the point where I find them so necessary I'm having to write them myself.Am I on the wrong side of a battle that's already been lost here?

Hi there! I believe you are referring to the page Home and Away. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that anybody can edit and, thus, there are greatly varied opinions of what does and what does not belong in an article. This is why each article on wikipedia has a discussion page. The discussion page for this specific article is located at Talk:Home and Away. On this page you can discuss and collaborate with other editors on what should or shouldn't be added to an article. As always, if you feel something should be added to an article, please be bold and update it! If you have any other questions, feel free to post here or on my talk page. Ohh, and one more thing: when posting on a talk page (like this one) always remember to sign your posts using four tildes (like this:~~~~). Hope this helped! --omtay38 01:18, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

{{helpme}}Is there an easy way to insert a character infobox?At the moment I seem to have to type out every heading by hand.Is there a way for them to appear automatically?Skteosk (talk) 17:07, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why not just copy and paste, for example from the documentation at {{Infobox soap character}}? Algebraist 20:56, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
