Wiki Editors Stop Adding TPB's To Story Arcs !!!!
By pikahyper 13 Comments
Wiki editors please do not add TPB's, collected editions, reprints, foreign editions, books, guides or sourcebooks to Story Arcs !!!! When you add them on a wiki page like a creator or character they go in to a story arc's associated issues which creates a massive out of order disaster. Only issues that are necessary to understand the specific story arc should be added. TPB's can only be added if it contains new comic material. Guides and Sourcebooks also can not be added unless they have new material and it has to be in standard comic book form not just written text; sketches, story boards and scripts do not count.
TPB's, collected editions, director's cuts, reprints, foreign editions, guides and sourcebooks are only to be added into the body of the Story Arc page under the following h2 headers:
Collected Editions
Related Issues or Related Items
Non-U.S. Editions
each entry under a header should be a bulleted list item and each list under an h2 should be in alpha-numeric order. Each list entry should also be a link to that specific item, not just its volume (unless there is only one issue/trade in that volume).If everyone can keep to these standards I won't have to keep cleaning up the story arcs all the time (I just had to remove 34 items from the Dark Reign associated issues, some of which I had previously removed !!!!) and users that want to read story arcs won't be confused by jacked up associated issue lists.
(Oh and in case anyone is wondering I did not just come up with these rules on my own they were created in collaboration with a staff member a while ago.)
And here is an example of what the headers & lists should look like:
