===New Staff: Prefix===
 
 
 
Seeing as some pages about staff members function somewhat like fan pages, these pages are being merged into a structure similar to that of Hall of {F,Sh}ame: pages.  This means two things:
 
 
 
# Most pages on staff members will be relocated to a page called Staff:???, where ??? is a three-letter site code.
 
# Sections on staff are now considered semi-open.  They will be patrolled for notability in a fashion similar to the HoF and HoS pages, and material deemed unnoteworthy will likely be moved to the Hall: pages.
 
 
 
Existing staff pages that are comprehensive and encyclopedic enough will remain as separate pages, but I don't believe there are many of these (or at least, there are several in each category, but none in both).
