Forum:SH Archive/Continuity for novel pages

Hello,

I've been reading the Star Wars novels that I have and I've been looking up the articles on the site for the books. I've observed that there is no sense of real organization among the pages, there's some sort of publisher's synopsis, jacket synopsis, and/or a real synopsis of the plot. In addition, the way continuity is introduced is a mess. We have the tags " " in order to say "", but many pages list new continuity completely seperately, making searching and/or organizing the lists a chore.

I propose we have some sort of agreed uniformity. While not necessarily to be taken, i say we have something along the lines as the following...

Note: tags used intentionally.

Introductory description

Plot Synopsis
(we would only provide a publisher's synopsis if the material hasn't been released yet. or we could provide a publisher's and THEN a deep synopsis)

Databank/Appearances/Continuity
(List everything that appears in the work here. Name can be decided later)

Behind the Scenes
(includes trivia and errata...e.g. typos and whatnot)

Impact
(Used for important novels like Heir to the Empire or Vector Prime)

Cover Gallery
(include covers)

Finish off with the template for the series. E.g. Heir to the Empire would have The Thrawn Trilogy at the bottom...

Any suggestions for improving and implementing a uniform layout to the novel pages? I would go as far as to say comic pages need this too.  Dude984  [ Communications ] - [ Contributions ] 23:54, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
