Next topic: How we categorize DLC characters, etc...

We need to take a look at how we categorize characters in DLCs, and agree on which category should be used; the main game's category or the DLCs category. I'll use as an example. For Dragonborn characters we only use the Category:Dragonborn: Characters category and after that we use Category:Skyrim: Nords and Category:Skyrim: Males instead of Dragonborn: Nords and Dragonborn: Males. On the other hand, the DLCs and  use only Bloodmoon or Tribunal categories including race and gender. So, question here is should Dragonborn characters also use Dragonborn: Males, Dragonborn: Nords or should Bloodmoon/Tribunal use the category system that Dragonborn currently uses (i.e., Morrowind: Nords, Morrowind: Males instead of Bloodmoon: Nords, Bloodmoon: Males)? I personally feel that organzation is better when the DLC category is used on DLC pages, and only use the main game's category if it is something that doesn't change when the DLC is installed, such as skills. (i.e., Morrowind: Marksman should be used on DLC pages instead of creating Bloodmoon: Marksman).

In regards to characters in DLC that don't appear in the vanilla games, I think listing them by DLC category instead of main game category would be best here. Users would be able to filter out Nords that only appear in Skyrim and Nords that only appear in Dragonborn, only if they are in separate categories. Currently "characters" is the only way to filter Dragonborn characters from vanilla Skyrim characters.
