Cat Descriptions

[ajedi32]

I noticed that at the top of most of the articles about cats, the text simply lists the cat's pelt color and gender. While this can be useful information, it doesn't really tell you much about WHO the cat is.

For example, the article about Hawkheart tells you that he is a 'mottled dark brown tom with yellow eyes'. But it doesn't say until much later that he is the cat who killed Bluestar's mother, and that he was an aggressive medicine cat in Bluestar's prohpecy.

I propose that we update the initial blurbs at the top of articles about cats to be more telling of WHO the cat really is. Comments?

The initial blurbs are written to contain zero spoilers. While some expansion might be useful, I do think that care should continue to be taken to keep them absolutely spoiler free.

Ah, so that's why. I'll start adding info to the initial description, being careful not to add spoilers as you suggested.

All the same, I would like to point out that those spoiler warnings are kinda futile anyway. When the webpage loads there are already multiple spoilers on the screen and I think it's pretty obvious that if you are looking up information on the warriors series you are going to get spoiled. Heck, the article titles are even spoilers for some people. (Guess what happens when someone reading the first series types 'Firepaw' into the search box and hits enter.) It might be easier to just put a big spoiler warning on the main page and leave it at that.
