Affiliation or occupation?[]

I've seen characters tagged as either, but which is the most fitting? We had a brief chat on the discord but didn't reach a clear conclusion, as I recall. I think arguments can be made for both, and I don't mind too much if we pick one over another. But as always, consistency would nice. PeterWind (talk) 11:06, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

In my opinion, the most fitting would be more as an affiliation than an occupation. WardsJames (talk) 18:24, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
Checking some Classic and retail quests, it is indeed used as organization name and occupation name, so technically both would be correct. If one is to be picked I'd go with affiliation, since the lede is already worded like that. --HordeRace bloodelf male Mordecay (talk) 18:41, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
It might look silly putting it in both fields, but yeah I prefer affiliation as well, even if both would work. PeterWind (talk) 01:16, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
I think as a general rule, if the occupation and affiliation would be the same (Warden, Deathguard, Sentinel, etc), we should only us Affiliation. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 01:34, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
