Forum:'Civilian' in the Affiliations / Occupations field of infobox

1) There is an inconsistency in usage of 'civilian' in infoboxes: for some characters it is written in the "Affiliations" field, for others in the "Occupations" field. We should settle which variant to use. Or maybe not to write it at all?

2) I also noted that for some characters it is written "Affiliations: Neutral", "Occupations: None", etc. Such things give absolutely no info, so should be deleted, as I think.

Well, civilian is a social status (compared to criminal), so somewhat like an occupation (like noble and commoner). Affiliation is with whatever town/city they are residing in, or neutral. 04:10, June 25, 2014 (UTC)

What Yata said 06:02, June 25, 2014 (UTC)

It makes sense to have a neutral affiliation, and people who we don't know anything beyond civilians can have an occupation of civilian. I don't see the problem, that is information about the person.

So, it is agreed that 'civilian' should be placed in 'Occupations' field, not 'Affiliations' as it is now on some pages. That makes sense.

Another idea: to add 'Residence' field instead of (or, in some cases, in addition to) 'Affiliations' for such characters. Ruxax (talk) 08:28, June 25, 2014 (UTC)
