I've added this to the Chapter List, but I don't know how to edit the categories listing for the page. Sorry! -Lexin 25 March 2006 19:45 (GMT)


You almost got the overview page right, with the exception that you used | (= pipe; shift-\ on many keyboards) where there should have been │ (= alt-179). │ is the full height of a line, while | isn't. So when you use │ (and a proper browser...), the vertical lines match up and run continuously, without gaps.
The easiest way to create the lines in front of the link, is to copy those of the line above, so all you have to do is add a wee bit at the end.
Fixed it now, but for futute reference. You can also find this info on the talk:overview page.

The way to add you page to a category is to include a link to that category on your page. Normally this is done at the end of the page.
Each (sub-)category has a box at the top of the page that reads "To add your chapter to this category, put this code at the end of your chapter:". That's what you do: put the code that's listed there to the end of your chapter.

Done, thanks for the pointer. Is Mozilla Firefox not a proper browser? I'm confused - but that's no surprise.

Do we add people with no speaking part? I assumed not, hence have not added Arwen.

File:Overview detail.gifYes, Firefox is most certainly a proper browser. See here a detail of how the overview page looks in Firefox. Notice how the vertical lines run through uninterrupted. Of course, if you have messed with Firefox's settings in ways you shouldn't, and for example selected a non-monospaced font as your default monospace font, anything depending on the fact that a monospaced font is, in fact, monospace, as this table is, will not work.

Add people with no speaking part? Well, that depends. I don't think the water creature (assumed to be The Watcher) spoke much when he attacked Faramir, but I'd say he played a vital part in that chapter.
But you're right in assuming it's best not to include any character that's mentioned: otherwise what advantage would this time-consuming indexing have over simply searching for the character?

Really like the chapter, Arwen can be nice when she tries ;)

People with no speaking parts - I've been adding people if they speak in the chapter or if they're present during the scene and play an important part. (e.g the water creature, who I am going to add but wanted to put it in a general category but can't decide what to call it (Evil creatures or something?), then orcs can go in it as well.

If they do not speak and are not present (e.g. only mentioned by someone else) I haven't added them. So Arwen wouldn't be included.

In this case you've added all the characters I would have. Thanks :)

Who said she's being nice? Far be it from me to put thoughts in anyone's head, but Arwen could be following them in hope of doing Faramir some damage...

-Lexin 26 March 2006 10:11 (GMT)

I had thought that too... I just thought it was nice she actually told someone he was carried off... She could have said he'd gone willingly... or not said anything at all.

As for why she's stalking Faramir... There could be many reasons... I am sure many of them aren't nice at all! ;)

'Ray! Someone continued. And I for one am very proud at Arwen told what she saw. She's been judged harshly in this story so far and I like to give people like that a chance to redeem themselves. Even if she is out to cause Faramir damage, she at least gave Aragorn a clue.

And how much fun is a family quarrel between Galadriel and Elrond? Wow. So excited.
