Should a projection-NPC of a human character appear in both the category for humans and projections? While I would think the projections should just be listed as a projection, and not the race of the character they project, I'd like to hear what others think on that matter.

/Bump. There's inconsistency on this. Opened a bunch of projection pages and some of them have the racial category, while others don't. What do? --Mordecay (talk) 00:33, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Personally I'd say they should just be in the projections category. The exception would be if there's a character who only ever appears in-game as a projection NPC, in which case they should be in both the projections category and any relevant racial categories. E.g., Memory of Arthas should just be categorized as a projection since all the relevant lore categories are on Arthas' separate, main lore page, but Vision of Jumash should have the racial categories as well since it's the only in-game representation of the character of Jumash. -- DeludedTroll (talk • contribs) 10:20, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

The deluded troll explained my point of view better than if I did it myself. Xporc (talk) 12:22, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Yeah, it's nice. What about High Wakener Aargon? He is a projection of Aargoss.

Also, some race parameters state the original race or Projection. What about changing them all into Projection? --Mordecay (talk) 13:58, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

We should probably include a link to who the projection is of, in cases where this isn't already added. PeterWind (talk) 14:01, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

In regards to the original race, I'm wondering now whether the racial category wouldn't be better to show it as categories reflect broader sense as well, while the race parameter would be the Projection term. Dunno. --Mordecay (talk) 14:28, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
