Talk:Shrek

Characters shown on the poster?
Should the characters of Shrek, Donkey, Fiona, and the dragon have their own pages? They're fictional characters from the real world, much like other characters with their own pages. Cookieboy 2005 ☎  10:21, 5 April 2022 (UTC)


 * May be stretching it with Dragon, considering she looks like a blob on the cover due to the low quality, but you should be fine to create pages for these characters if you makes sure to add a template. However, you would have to use "(fictional character)" as a dab term instead of "(Shrek)", as we don't cover Shrek.  📯 📂 12:17, 5 April 2022 (UTC)


 * First of all, why would these characters even need a page if this is their only appearance? Secondly, isn't that breaking some sort of rule about putting real-world information onto pages as their counterparts in the DWU could be completely different.

 * The above is true: T:NO RW. When in doubt, ask an admin. Shambala108 ☎  13:53, 5 April 2022 (UTC)


 * @DrWHOCorrieFan - we don't decide to create pages based upon notability on this Wiki. One appearance, no, even a mention is more than enough grounds to create a page. Also, we wouldn't be using any real world information on these pages other than their names, which is expressly allowed so long as we mark the page with : we have a massive amount of precendent, and none of it breaks T:NO RW.
 * @Shambala108 - users are perfectly allowed to ask other non-admin users for advice. Admins, while of course extremely knowledgable, are not of a higher rank than other equally-knowledgable non-admins. 📯 📂 14:04, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * @User:Epsilon the Eternal while your second comment is certainly true, new users have no way of knowing how experienced and knowledgeable a non-admin user is. I've seen many relatively new users give (incorrect) advice to other new users in my time on this wiki. It's easier to ask an admin, who are listed on the page I cited, and who are marked by the different font color and size of our names. I never made any direct or indirect statement that admins are "of a higher rank" than others. As an admin I often use my discussion comments to educate users. No need to read more into my comments or take offense. Shambala108 ☎  14:17, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Fair enough @Shambala108, I didn't consider non-regular users giving out advice. Sorry if any offense was caused by my comment. 📯 📂 14:19, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

What about the background castle?
This is really stretching it, but is the castle in the background technically considered valid as a fictional location from the real world? Cookieboy 2005 ☎  19:51, 5 April 2022 (UTC)


 * You can barely see it so I'd say it doesn't warrant a page. But then again, we do have a page for the number -271.3. Jack &#34;BtR&#34; Saxon ☎  19:59, 5 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Personally, I do believe that, considering the obscurity of some pages, Duloc deserves a page with a template. Cookieboy 2005  ☎  20:20, 5 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Apologies, I meant Dragon's Keep. Also, I've made the page - is it capitalised in the film? WikiShrek capitalised it as "Dragon's Keep". Cookieboy 2005 ☎  20:55, 5 April 2022 (UTC)


 * This is becoming increasingly more bizarre. These pages certainly must break T:NO RW? These characters are not named in any source material and, although I know about the tag, it doesn't change the fact that the pages would only house real world information too. The Shrek poster in the episode is never stated to be for a movie... it is our knowledge of the movie's existence in the real world that presents us with that information.

 * Likewise, you cannot even see the Dragon's Keep on the poster in the episode - rather a grey blob - it is your knowledge that it is there in the real world poster that has led to the page's creation. DrWHOCorrieFan ☎  00:03, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
