A formatting policy suggestion: When an adventurer is listed as a discoverer for a location (i.e. their name appears in the village box) should their name be in bold where it first appears in the body of the text of the content page?

- I think that's a good thing to do. It would be equivalent to, in a House article, simply mentioning the tutor's name in the infobox, but linking it when the name is brought up in the context of the article. As for generic bolding of adventurers' names, do most people think it would be a good idea to do that for adventurers who play a major role in the development of events? --Krypton 18:41, 24 January 2008 (GMT)

- Example 1 - Aran'riod: The discoverer (Senans) has his name both in the infobox and bolded on its first mention in the actual context of the article.

This example is also applies to my question, in which I wonder if we ought to bold the names of all adventurers who play a major role in any event, i.e. in addition to bolding Riashain's name, we should also for Trevalyan and Goryllin.
