SUBJECT IDENTIFIED. DESIGNATION: ADMIN
Please join me in welcoming the newest member to our Admin group: P-t-x.
You might have seen him around adding Machine messages and Samaritan images, but he's also been very active behind the scenes helping us with templates and other coding jobs. We're happy to have P-t-x on board!
Additionally, here's an overview of all current admins on this wiki:
Wikia's new article design
For the past few weeks, the staff at Wikia have been working on a prototype for a new article design. You can read more about it here: User blog:Rupert Giles/Prototype for a new article layout (also take a minute to read the comments)
So far we don't know when Wikia will release this new skin, or if they force it upon each wiki, or -when they do- if there's a chance to revert back to the current skin (Oasis).
For now, you can preview the new design by adding ?useskin=venus to the URL of an article or a page here on the wiki. For example:
http://personofinterest.wikia.com/wiki/John_Reese?useskin=venus
http://personofinterest.wikia.com/?useskin=venus
Note that we don't know if this is really the final version, or if there's still anything waiting …
Suggestion: Supporting characters tab + improved Cast & Crew list
LG and I were talking about reworking the guest cast and minor character articles because most of our roughly 1,400 articles are either stubs, or repetitions of what's already included in other articles. The problem with stubs is that once they're set up, they soon end up lonely and forgotten, and given that we're very much behind even with main character articles, who would ever expand those stubs. In terms of quality versus quantity, I'd rather have informative lists and tabs than dozens of unfinished or repeating articles. Here are some suggestions:
Guest Actors
If you take a look at pages about guest actors you'll see that other than "X played Y in episode Z", a rather unproportionally big image (if any), and an IMDB link, there's nothin…
Suggestions needed: Main Navigation
Here's a suggestion for reorganizing the main navigation.
Please check if something is missing or not really necessary, or what could be added instead. Main goal is to accommodate our shiny new Person of Interest Wiki:The Library and other (newer) articles.
Notes:
- I didn't include the crew because we only have a limited number of tabs available and I don't know where to put producers/writers/directors
- Some pages are still under construction
- Some portals/categories may need to be updated
*Please leave your suggestions in the comments.
Thanks~ Helloclaire

Frequently Asked Questions: Recurring Characters
Note: This blog post includes some explanations about how we deal with recurring characters. For now, it is mainly a collection of thoughts and possible definitions. There might be updates or changes to this blog post later.
- General rule:
On Person of Interest wiki, we treat characters as recurring upon their third appearance across all seasons. With a few exceptions (see below), those appearances are with speaking part.
- Once a character is recurring, they will be considered recurring in future seasons as well.
Example 1: Detective Kane
Kane appeared four times in Season 1, thus making him a recurring character in that season. In Season 2, he only appeared once but he would still be treated as recurring character because of his appearances in Season …
