Articles about places Twinsen visited will often have several categories:

  5. Family members- Some characters also have relations with other characters, like Husbands, Wives, Sons or Daughters.

Articles about places Twinsen visited will often have several categories:

  1. Location path- The path of all location levels at which this place is found at. This will always be at least the Planet level, followed by an Island, the Area, the Building, and finally the Room. In some cases more than one of the same level can be nested, and in some cases a level may be omitted template design needed.
