Walking Dead/Naming conventions

The Walking Dead is a vastly popular multimedia franchise that has been brought to life by creator Robert Kirkman in various formats including comic books, a television series and a video game. With so many rich and interesting characters, it becomes sort of a disservice to sandwich every erg of information about them onto a single page. To make things a bit easier, the will be attempting to keep things cleaner by separating character pages based upon their corresponding medium.

Although the Walking Dead comic book series was the precursor to the TV show, most fans identify more readily with the accessibility of the show more than the comics and graphic novels. As such, character pages relating to the TV show will become the parent pages.

Naming the Dead!
Characters identified by full names will relate under their proper name with no additional descriptors as part of the TV series. Characters from the TV series who are only known a single name will have the words (Walking Dead) following their name in parenthesis.

All characters from the Walking Dead comic book series, regardless of whether their full name is revealed or not, will be identified by their proper name, followed by a backslash (/), followed by the words "Walking Dead" (the word "The" does not need to be included as part of the title). For example, Rick Grimes/Walking Dead and Michonne/Walking Dead refer to characters from the comic book series, whereas articles titled Rick Grimes and Michonne are from the TV series. Character page names like Andrea refer to the TV series, whereas she will be addressed as Andrea for the comic book series. Got it? Good, 'cuz I ain't repeating it!
