:::::Your approach seems very reasonable to me. Having seperate pages for these hidden characters makes perfect sense in my opinion as does having one page for all versions of Malcolm. I feel like it would be harder to add interwikis if these pages were seperated on the English Wiki. For example, if there were a Malcolm Landgraab (The Sims 3) page and a Malcolm Landgraab (The Sims 4) page on the English Wiki both of them could link to Malcolm Landgraab on the Dutch Wiki but you could only link back to one of the articles, right? I feel like I'm in favour of merging articles in most cases unless there are good reasons for seperation. It seems like the easiest solution to me but the most important thing would still be a consistant approach. —<span style="font-family:'Georgia'; font-weight:bold;">[[User:Gvaudoin|<font color="black">Gvaudoin</font>]]</span> [[User talk:Gvaudoin|💬]] 21:21, March 18, 2019 (UTC)
::Completely seperate pages for Sims that share the same background (for example [[Bella Goth (The Sims)]] and [[Bella Goth (The Sims 2)]]) sounds very useless to me, especially because you will just end up with a bunch of short articles (maybe not with Bella, but perhaps with [[Bob Newbie]] you would). I think also important connecting information between the games would get lost this way (or unnecessary duplicated). Like I said earlier, I think the easiest way would be a case to case scenario, assuming that 1 Sim should only have one page unless proven to be significantly different. Appearance could be one of those reasons, in-game mentions or confirmations by the Gurus.
::If we talk about interwikis this would also save a lot of mess yes.. Although with ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4]]'' the Dutch wiki got a lot messier too, because several Sims from TS/TS2/TS3 appear with different names in later games. Different enough to kind of forget the connection unless you know that they are the same Sims in the English games. So has the [[Caliente family]] 3 diferent pages on the Dutch wiki, because all 3 households are different enough for their own page, or for people to look them up with their different names if they haven't played earlier games. So don't worry too much about the interwikis. EA messed that up for you already :') [[User:DeSims|<b><span style="font-family:Calibri"><span style="color:#00ac35"><span style="font-size:23px">D</span>e</span><span style="font-size:19px"><span style="color:#0075ac"><span style="font-size:23px">S</span><span style="font-size:19px">ims</span></span></span></span></b>]] [[User_talk:DeSims|<span style="font-family:Papyrus"><span style="color:#0075ac"><sup><small>(talk)</small></sup></span></span>]] 23:15, March 25, 2019 (UTC)
