I think the Setting section should come before the Characters section, and possibly even before the Plot Summary section. If not, it is possible much of the setting information is repeating info given in those two earlier sections. By switching the order around, information is not repeated and as such the pages will be smaller in size, saving space. I'm not sure how much of a concern this is for the site. In addition, as someone who uses Wikis a lot, I know I prefer to have the info we're putting in the Settings section before the Character info. For one, it helps me better understand the nuances of the setting, such as the magic system, before I delve into character knowledge, but two, the Settings section usually does not contain major spoilers, but the Characters section often does. That's my personal preference, anyways.
This brings me to my next question. Should the Character section contain major storyline spoilers? For example, Siri's bio on the current Warbreaker page mentions that she befriends the God King and helps to defeat a plot to bring Hallandren and Idris to war. Both of those tidbits are major spoilers for the novel. Whether or not the major spoilers are included depends on who the page is meant for. Are these general book pages meant for people who have read the novel to quickly refresh their memory of basic knowledge, or are they meant for people who have not read the novel to come get a better understanding of the book to make an educated decision on whether or not they would like to read it?
