Warriors Wiki talk:Books

Previous/Next
Okay, so on the chapter subpages should there be links up at the top of the page, probably under the page numbers, linking to the next and previous chapter in the book? A bit like how there's the preceeded by/followed by bit on the main book pages. I know you could just scroll down to the bottom to find the link, but some of these chapters end up having quite a bit of content in them. 00:23, November 28, 2012 (UTC)

I wouldn't mind that suggestion, actually. and for lazy people like me who can't be bothered to scroll from here to the moon and back... Anyone else? 05:09, November 29, 2012 (UTC)

I like this idea, too. And I admit, I'm a lazy bum and would use this. 12:11 Thursday November 29 2012

I'm in support of this. ouo 19:44, November 29, 2012 (UTC)

Hmm... I like this idea. Could we make a template for it, or, just manually enter the chapters. Personally, I think a template would be easier, unless that's not possible. I'm not exactly sure. Regardless, I /do/ like the idea and think we should use it. Like Leggo, I'm lazy as all hell.

I love this, perhaps a template saying what chapter you're on and whar chapter is before and after. x3 21:36, November 29, 2012 (UTC)

Well, with that ^ why not just make one of those infoboxes so that you just plug in the information, but with the name of the book, then the chapter out of how many, then the pages, then the POV, and then finally the previous and next chapters? Basically, what we already put just in a tidy box. I think that would look nice, although I have nothing against what's already there.

If we don't want to do that I think just putting something like a left-aligned previous chapter, bolded current chapter, and a right-aligned next chapter at the very top of the page or right before the summary. 19:00, December 2, 2012 (UTC)

I support this. Totallynotalazyderp. Anyways, a template would probably make things easier, and show us what chapter subpages still need to be made. 21:19, February 8, 2013 (UTC)

(thought I commented on this, derp) Hmm. Since we have a navigation template already in place, I'd say this wouldn't hurt. I see things like this all the time on other wikis, and they'll often have a "previous" and "next" link all the time... Maybe we could incorporate this with the main arcs as well

I'm actually intrigued about the infobox for the chapters, or in other words, I decided to make use of my time and make this.

I can insert the contents into the template, it just won't work in my sandbox, and the title won't say "Atelda" but rather the base page name. It's just an idea. o3o 19:21, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

Ooooh, I like that idea, 'teldy. I'm totally for it. What about the rest of you guys?

Oooh, I like that, too. -for it- Anyone else? 03:27, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

Nomination Limit
Title says it all, guys. I was talking with Leggo, and realized that we don't actually have a set number for this, like PC, PW, and PR do with their nominations. I mean, I don't even think we have a set limit. So, taking into consideration the quote nominations, the subpage nominations, and the article nominations, what should the official limit be?

Leggo and I were thinking between five and seven, since the project is small and honestly, we only have a few active members. Of course, you should really only take on as many nominations as you can handle, and the number above would be a maximum only. Not the number you should have up at a time. I know it seems like a lot, but if you take into account the fact that the subpages don't really take as much time as a character article (  unless you're 'teldy, Duck, or I, and write at a million miles a minute. ilu guys. xD   you should able able to handle more than one at a time.

So, yeah. We were thinking that we should really set an actual limit, that way people are aware how many total nominations they're allowed to have at a given time. This would take into account the quote, subpage, and article nominations, just to remind you. This would also have a vote (I think), and go into the guidelines. Soooo, comments everyone?

And I agree with Cloudy and Leggy on this one. When I joined, I was literally surfing the guidelines like, "Doesn't this project have some sort of nomination limit?" like the other projects did. And I like the number that Cloudy and Leggy came up with. Since I myself was looking for a limit, and the other projects do it, why not?  21:52 Thursday December 6 2012

(Skye you started a sentence at the end of your second paragraph, got into tiny font, and never finished it ouo) But, yes, we already discussed this, and I agree- five-seven nominations per person at a time, at the maximum. And it should go into the guidelines after an approved vote. 05:06, December 7, 2012 (UTC)

Shut up, I'll finish it. x.x I'm tired. Yeah, anyways. You got my point, though.

-brofists- ilu2 xD I'd agree to five to seven. In fact, I'd strongly recommend doing five, because it's true that, on average, subpages, quotes, and article nominations take a shorter amount of time, but I'm positive people will max out and not be able to complete all their nominations which makes it a pain in the rump to the leads and sometimes to other users. Seven is fine, but the I'd think it'd be best to have a warning of something like:
 * Users are allowed to have only seven nominations up (nominations including quotes, articles, and chapter subpages) but it is highly recommended you should only have five unless you can handle it. Should a nomination go inactive from a user that has more than five nominations up, that nomination, after a week, shall be declined and archived.

Or something along those lines. Of course, there's also the option where you can limit certain nominations which is also a great possibility. For example:
 * Users are only allowed to have one article nomination (which includes cliffnotes, allegiances, and the book article (or whatever you want to call it) ), three chapter subpage nominations, and three quote nominations.

The numbers are adjustable and it's whatever the project wants, but those are what I think would be best for entering into the guidelines a set number of nominations. 06:07, December 7, 2012 (UTC)

I was actually going to suggest that 'Teldy, having the nomination limit separated for the seperate nominations sounds wonderful, I agree with one article, three chapter subpage and three quote. owo 03:52, December 11, 2012 (UTC)

Oooh, I like that option a tad more. One article, three chapter subpages, and three quotes sounds like a fair amount to me. Anyone else? 15:40, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

Well considering how few active PB members there are, and how many chapter subpages need to be done, I personally don't think those should have a limit at all. We have so much to be done, why limit the amount that can get done with the amount of users we have? I like the idea of splitting up the limits on the other kinds of nominations though. 15:10, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

Well, the only thing I do want limited is the amount of normal nominations a user can do at a time, and since there are very few of them that even need to be touched (I think the only ones being the ones for Cloudstar's Journey, and once the Dawn of the Clans books are released...   So yeah, anyways. Perhaps only limiting the normal nominations would be a good idea...and since subpages don't really take all that long to do... Not limiting those might be for the best.

I keep forgetting how small the project's become. .-. ....yeah, I guess not having a limit on subpages would be fine, considering the size of our project, how many need to be done, and the fact they're so simple to do. I like the limits on the other things, but subpages can remain limitless. 17:57, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

Okay what's going on with this, guys?

Mmm....I don't think it'll be okay to not have a limit on the subpages. I mean, yes while there's so many that need to be done and plenty for everyone, I think it may overload the project. Right now even, there are eleven nominations up, and only one out of those eleven have been commented on. I'd rather see people commenting, even just saying "This looks great, I have no critiques" than seeing lackluster silver nominations. Even looking now, a 5-7 limit on subpage nominations seems quite a lot for the lack of activity. 18:43, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

Looking at the boost in nominations...well..that certainly changes things. A limit would be nice, now that people are actually nominating things xD The 5-7 limit seems reasonable, and I'm not opposed to it. 03:18, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

(Lol, meeee) I'm not opposed to it either, it's a reasonable limitation~ 23:16, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

I'm not opposed to it either, and think it's a wonderful idea. I say we go with that, instead of the lacking comments. I'm going to start back up with this after I get full internet back, doing what I can right now

Quick Template
Just made a quick template to make things a bit easier. It's called Chapintro. Included everything normally in the intro including the collapsed TOC. Just put it onto a page, and enter and it'll do the rest. It's not anything major, just figured since that was something put on every page with very little variation, it'd speed things up to make it a template. 15:37, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

You are amazing and I love you very much. And it works and this is wonderful. Everyone please use it. It makes this so much easier and saves time. kthxbai.

Quick edit. Made the second page number section optional, so now for ebooks and such you can simply put N/A in the first page spot and you won't need anything else. 10:45, February 14, 2013 (UTC)

Into the Wild/Chapter 9 - Silver Nomination
Comments? 20:02, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

Some of the sentences seem really short. Perhaps elaborate on them, and make them flow with one another a little better?

I did so. 05:42, February 28, 2013 (UTC)

CBV? 03:27, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

Long Shadows/Chapter 4 ~ Silver Nomination
Wow, this was long overdue. ouo Comments?

Night Whispers/Chapter 2 ~ Silver Nomination
I'm certainly not wasting any time, am I? I worked on this (and chapters 3 and 4) last night and I kinda enjoyed it xD Comments? 00:10, February 25, 2013 (UTC)

If possible, could you please combine just a few of the paragraphs and remove the errors section since it seems unneeded? Wonderful work, Splook! xD 03:42, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

Combined some. Thanks c: 16:27, March 17, 2013 (UTC)

Fire and Ice/Chapter 1 ~ Silver Nomination
Referencing is still fun :> Anyways... I don't have much to say, lol, comments? 20:01, February 25, 2013 (UTC)

Focus on combining the one sentence paragraphs with others and then combining those with another short paragraph so it can flow better. Amaaaazing job! =) 03:42, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

Combined most of them~  21:10, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

The Forgotten Warrior/Chapter 16 ~ Silver Nomination
I just linked the characters in the summary and fixed an error or two here or there and I think it's ready for silver. 'the Blossomfall' was the best error I found...  22:24 Wednesday February 27 2013

Forest of Secrets/Prologue ~ Silver Nomination
It was mostly ready when I got there. I only did a couple of things. 21:44, 03/2/2013

lol, hm, maybe (I really don't know how to word this out, since the prologue is super short) maybe add a bit more detail, or seperate the paragraph if possible, but eh, that's mostly the person's preference, I'm just weird. x3 20:15, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Fire and Ice/Chapter 2 ~ Silver Nomination
Gah, that took a while to finish, for my standards. So, comments?  22:15 Saturday March 2 2013

Fire and Ice/Chapter 6 ~ Silver Nomination
Whoah, Nominations galore! Comments :3? 22:10, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

Try combining some paragraphs so it doesn't look so choppy. Great job! 03:33, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

Shouldn't be as choppy now, :>~  17:00, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

Books With No Praise
In the cases of mangas like Shattered Peace, Into The Woods and their respective sucessors, there is literally no praise. Since the Ravenpaw's Path mangas have been sitting on the concerns lists for some time now for needing praise, I'm wondering whether we should remove them off the list, or use reviews from amazon.com or goodreads.com. Thoughts? 11:28 Mon Mar 11

Hm, well, I think we should use the reviews of Amazon, but depending on who does the actual reviewing, I'm not sure. I think we should remove them off the list if they have no praise x3 (I could check my copies of Warriors Manga to see if they have praise.) 17:00, March 11, 2013 (UTC)

(Bird, you do that...I don't own any of the manga) If there's no praise, I think we should go with the reviews on amazon or goodreads....I mean, rather have at least something over nothing. If no one else likes that idea, I wouldn't mind removing them, either. 03:13, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

I checked my Manga's, and they don't have praise anywhere (Except Erin's little summary at the start of them) So I think we should do the reviews on Amazon, but whatever anyone thinks is best. 17:02, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

Which reviews are we actually talking about? On amazon, there's the editorial review which dictates nothing about the specific book and then there's the customer's review. I'd rather see the praise removed there's the major issue of picking and choosing which review to represent. It would be completely biased to pick the five star rating, yet it'd be unwise to choose the one-two star ratings. We'd also probably have to go to the author of that review should we finally choose it, and ask if we can use their name on this wiki because we cannot just withhold information to our audience and vaguely explain where this critique was from. I'd rather see absolutely no praise, than go through all the trouble figure out which review to use (which by the way, is not necessarily praise) and then find the author and see if we can willingly use their personal information on this site. 16:48, March 17, 2013 (UTC)

April FA
Aye, the year's going by much to fast for my comfort. x.x So, any ideas? 03:16, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, it seems like just yesterday was Christmas. x3 I think that Mission of  Mercy looks good, especially since we haven't featured an Adventure Game in forever. owo 21:49, March 15, 2013 (UTC)

Oooh, yes, Mission of Mercy would be an awesome April FA. I don't remember seeing an Adventure Game featured ever in my time here...  Probably 'cause I'm just a n00b....  20:12 Sunday March 17 2013

An Adventure Game as an FA? Ooooh, wonderful idea, Duck~! I'm up for it, and Mission of Mercy is an excellent choice.

I think that's a great idea! I'm up for it too~ 20:16, March 17, 2013 (UTC)
