Recently it has brought to the attention of the admins that there really is no clear standard on how we word a lead paragraph when writing about an NPC. Do we mention class or not? In some pages the class is mentioned, such as seen on some Oblivion character pages, and then the class is not mentioned in some of the Skyrim pages, instead the NPCs occupation is mentioned.

I think it is time to create a standard on the wording we use when creating that lead paragraph, and that it match up across all games. It was suggested instead of mentioning the character's class in the lead that we mention their occupation instead.

In the case that the class is also the occupation, it would stay the same, such as:


 * Balimund is a Nord blacksmith living in Riften.

In the case where the class doesn't match up to their occupation, you'd write in favor of mentioning their occupation instead of class, such as:


 * Iona is a Nord housecarl living in Riften.

Instead of saying:


 * ''Iona is a Nord housecarl and warrior living in Riften."

Any opinions or suggestions?
