The Darkest Hour/Chapter 22 ~ Silver Nomination
I like how this turned out (especially for a first). Comments 18:38, August 6, 2012 (UTC)

If there are no ceremonies, births, ect, please remove the sections from the page. Could you also try and format it like the others are? Look here for the basics.

I tried, but I'm terrible at coding. 18:49, August 6, 2012 (UTC)

Can you lessen the detail a bit? It's not exactly a play. Also, some of it is in past tense. Make it in present. 01:29, August 7, 2012 (UTC)

I made it persent tense. Also, could you tell me what I should shorten (I'd perfer not to shorten Tigerstar's death, because it's my favorite scene in the series, so I want it to be very detailed). 16:09, August 7, 2012 (UTC)

Lessen the detail in /all/ of it.. Also, add the navigation template. 00:26, August 8, 2012 (UTC)

Personally, I think the detail shouldn't be lessened. It gives a good view of what happened in the chapter. 14:08, August 8, 2012 (UTC)

How does it look now? 15:27, August 8, 2012 (UTC)

There's still some of it in past tense. 01:06, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Ok, I think I got it all (when Firestar reveals Tigerstar's history, he is referring to past events, so I'm keeping that past tense). 01:30, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Firestar's Quest/Prologue ~ Silver Nomination
Ah, FQ. A book I throughly disliked because it took a while to get interesting. Comments? 09:59 Fri Aug 10

Are there any mentioned characters? 15:50, August 10, 2012 (UTC)

Nope. 12:54 Sat Aug 25

Couple Ideas
So I've been wiki surfing for new things to use here and decided to test out a couple ideas I had seen on my kinda of "sandbox wiki" so to speak, here.

First thing I thing I found is having the switch template used for having both the front cover and the back cover for the books in the template. Considering it took me and some others quite a while to even find where we have the back covers on this wiki, I think it'd be good to have them in the template. As well as in the cover gallery.

Second thing would require having Teldy edit the JS for the wiki, but I think it'd be a really cool idea. you can get a sample of the book from amazon and have it displayed on the wiki, as seen here. Then you can have a preview for the book linked in the book template. It's quite easy to get the book previews to work. Just a simple code pasted into the JS, then a number put on a page, and the wiki does the rest automatically. I think it'd be fun to have on here.

So yeah, those are a couple things I've found and tried out, and I think they'd be beneficial to have here. What do you guys think? 15:51, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

I'm up for the switch being used for the covers. 8D I'm half asleep, so I'll actual say my real opinion later. But would we use the hardcover or paperback?

8DDDDD. This seems like an awesome idea! I support both ideas 100%. It will allow users to see the front and back of books, and get to read it a little. 8D 18:41, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

I love both ideas. =) 01:45, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

I love these ideas 8DDDDD 02:27 Sun Sep 2

I can't see the ideas, but they both sound lovely. 19:14, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

I am in full support of this idea. It could prove to be very useful, honestly. ^^

Could I please join the project as an apprentice! I'd really like to join some kind of project. You could even give me a mentor if you'd like.

Ooh, I like the idea for the cover swap. I would assume we'd use hardback, since it's what the books are first published in....but if someone disagrees, feel free to say. I also like the idea for the browse inside...that would be really cool, actually. I'm on board for both suggestions. Nice find with the browse insides, Paleh^^ 01:56, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

I'm in support of both ideas. c: 16:28, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

These ideas are amazing 8D.-- 21:08, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

The more I read this, the more I like it. So, let's give this a shot. Final call for comments on this, guys. If there aren't anymore comments, I'd say we should give this a shot.

Subpage Checklist
I have too much time on my hands...

Ohay, gaiz. I got bored today, and made something that might be useful when keeping track of what pages are done and what aren't. So, here's the deal regarding the page; you can edit it if you please, but only add the checkmark to the corresponding part of the table once it has been graded. I don't want pages that are only half done being marked as done. Notice there are some missing categories, like for the field guides and graphic novels; I'll add them in as the time comes, but right now, I don't think they're needed. So, comments, questions, suggestions, ect? Go ahead and ask away.

This seems awesome, Skye. =) I love the idea, it'll help keep track of what's done and what's not. Maybe a symbol should be added for a page that's being worked on for a grade? 12:42, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Well, I'd rather only mark the pages that are done, since I know there are people who start things and never finish them, myself included. Perhaps later on down the road, once more and more things are being done. But, for now, I'd like to keep it to silver graded pages.

SkyClan's Destiny/Chapter 1 ~ Silver Nomination
Well, this was long overdue. I should have had this done a while ago, but I got lazy. x3

Sign of the Moon/Chapter 3 ~ Silver Nomination
It's been completed for a while, comments? 17:38, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Can you expand the summary a bit? 19:52, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Citations from e-book exclusives
Alright, with two e-books out and another on the way, I feel I should point out something that needs to be decided about citations from e-books.

Getting specific pages is pretty impossible with e-books as pages aren't labeled. Yeah, you can scroll and count pages, but the number of pages changes depending on how tall your computer/e-book reader screen is (i.e, page 1 on my desktop screen is split into pages 1 and 2 on a laptop screen).

Since these novellas are called e-book exclusives, it seems they won't be printed physically any time soon. So the only idea I can think of to pull citations from these e-books is to cite the chapters instead of the pages. Yeah, the citations would be broader than specific pages, but it'd be better than nothing. But that's just me. 07:37, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

I think that would work for now, and that's what I was thinking to suggest. Chapters is better than nothing, and since we can't cite pages, we'll need to use the next best thing, which would be chapters. It was like that with Hollyleaf's Story, too. The page numbers are damn near impossible to figure out. x.x

This is about as specific as we can get. I suppose we could take screenshots, but that'd be illegal to post anywhere. 17:02, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

We probably /could/ take screenshots, and keep them as a backup reference in case anyone calls us out and says they're false because we can't list a page number... although I'm not entirely sure what's so hard about reading a couple pages or something to find a reference. Something is a hell of a lot better than nothing, imho.

Actually, look what I found on warriors wish. Seems like we'll be getting all three of these in some novel form within the next year. o.o And here's the official facebook comment for those who don't believe what they see on Wwish.
