Forum:Minor Characters... individual pages or group pages...

Memory Alpha (the Star Trek wiki) will occasionally use a single page for a list of minor (usually unnamed) characters who are all linked (usually all part of one group (crew of a ship for instance). usually each character has very little known about them (basically they were here, and had a line or two). Example of a such a list: Cold Station 12 personnel.

As I have been filling out character pages for Passion for Life i've been thinking about doing something like this for the minor unnamed characterss (pimps, prostitutes, police, bar man, etc.) and putting them into a single page of "Unnamed Parisians" (or perhaps "Minor characters from "Paris, September 1908" to separate them from the other Paris episodes.

What do people think of this? Or should every character just get its own page, no matter how small?

What about a single character page for a pair of characters whose scenes are identical (and whose roles are connected), such as Pimp #1 and Pimp #2 from Passion for Life?
