I sort of agree with Sajuuk, but not in the exact same way. I think that for certain pages we should have a lore version, but not as a namespace, just as brackets [i.e. Giant (Lore)]. We currently have some lore pages for creatures, but there is barely any large amount of info for them needing to be their own page. We should adopt a Bestiary page for creatures (this is not copying UESP, I have seen many other wikis do this) that lists creatures in every TES game alphabetically and gives any backstory lore about them.

For people, we should keep them either as authors or their own seperate pages. I think pages for characters mentioned in books that have their own page but not that much info should still be kept as their own pages, I see no need for an almanac of all minor characters unless they are just authors.

For a namespace, I don't see much of a use for characters. Vivec only appears in one game, so he should only have one page. Unless he appears in ESO, he should be split into three articles: Vivec, Vivec (Morrowind), Vivec (Online). The Vivec page would keep all the lore and list all Vivec pages by game in a section right under the header paragraph. Vivec (Morrowind) would retain all the info on his Morrowind version and Vivec (Online) would contain all his ESO info. I think we should do this for Mannimarco as an example, by moving his backstory on the Oblivion version to the main Mannimarco page, deleting his lore page and having the Daggerfall, Oblivion and ESO versions of him listed under the "By Game" section right under the beginning paragraph.

What I mentioned there can be seen on the Sweetroll page. Before, it was a mess with a lot of the universal game info being put on the Oblivion and Skyrim pages. Once I added the Online version of the sweetroll, I moved the info that was on both pages to the main Sweetroll page. The Sweetroll page is not a disambiguation page though it still lists the sweetrolls by game. Instead it keeps the general TES info of the item because, let's face it, we don't want a Sweetroll (Lore) page.

For characters that appear in two games but don't have much of a backstory, we don't need a main page to keep all their lore. For characters that only appear in one game (i.e. Yagrum Bagarn) we can put all their backstory on their page without having to split it up since they only appear once.
