 Various unnamed pilots which we’ve actually got a list of already on the List of Pilots

New page

I propose that we make Lists of unnamed characters, such as "List of Unnamed Pilots", "List of Unnamed Marines", and "List of Unnamed civilians"

This would not cover extras whos names are not listed in the credits--->It is a means of sorting people who are actually listed in the credits, but given no formal name, like "Marine #1", etc.

I actually got the idea from Memory Alpha (the Star Trek Wiki), which uses this method to list credited roles that aren't given formal names, thus not justifiying their own separate articles.

For example, there is a [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Unnamed_Jem%27Hadar List of Unnamed Jem'Hadar] and [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Unnamed_Borg List of Unnamed Borg].

# What is the benefit of this proposal to the wiki? '''Just categorizing more information'''
