There seems to be three ways of saying the same thing.. Villager, Settler, Citizen.
We need a consistent approach to naming these as they are all different, and various people seem to have used various ones when constructing the Wiki
I am writing the Wiki pages i am updating editing on the following principal
Villager = Spawned inhabitant living in the town hall, or at a citizen chest with no house
Settler = Inhabitant living in a Tier 1 house
Citizen = Inhabitant living in a Tier 2 house
Noble = Inhabitant living in a Tier 3 house
Aristocrat = Inhabitant living in a Tier 4 house.
I THINK this ties in with the terminology used in game (town hall interface) - but whatever we use on the Wiki should reflect the terminology used in game.
Cheers,

I think instead if limiting Villager to being the initial state of them, pre-housing, it would work best if Villager was an all-encompassing term to refer to any or all of them. Then we can talk about "Villagers" if what we're saying doesn't depend on their level, or we can use their tier-specific term if it does.
Or, "your Villagers pay higher taxes as they go up in level," works as it refers to all tiers of the villagers.
Aside from that, I entirely agree with the rest of your list. And I definitely also agree that we need to be communicating these concepts consistently across the board.

When a mod gets complex itsa great idea to be specific when talking about it.
My 2 pence is: when I think of 'Settler', I think of someone living on a plot of land they just built a log home on... and 'Villager' comes to mind when there's multiple homes, and they are working together somehow. Might the just-starting-out npcs be called 'Settlers' and the ones that have homes be called 'Villagers'? (Don't you need settlers to form a village first?)
