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?

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?

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)
