Regarding denizen title bolding: just letting everyone know I've gone through all the articles in this category, plus the subarticles A through K, if anyone wants to pick up where I left off before I return.

I'll try this again in the proper place this time. Can we agree upon one way of naming city/village categories? Either the same as the area i.e. Cyrene denizens, or the same as the citizenry i.e. Ashtani denizens? Gnaash 20:09, 26 February 2007 (GMT)
Erhon started this and I jumped in to help. I'm sure it was lack of communication on my part as I'll admit I didn't check before creating categories and only noticed the difference later. I'll leave the decision up to Erhon, though, about how he wants things changed if at all. Madelyne 22:45, 26 February 2007 (GMT)
Me personally, I'd prefer citizenry over just city/village, but the fact is that it won't be conforming either way due to how many categories and subcategories there are. I'm happy that we managed to sort through all four pages of Denizens and get the subcategories to fit on one page, I leave the decision to another Head Chronicler if they feel the need to conform the entire thing in such a manner.

- I think what we did in these cases (non-phrased denizens) was to bold solely the article title (as is the standard format for all wiki articles). The toymaker and florist were not proper nouns or specific enough, so included bolding of further IH attributes to make them more signature/identifiable. Asara 22:49, 24 January 2008 (GMT)
