Forum:CT Archive/Appearances: issue vs arc

Wookieepedia &gt; Consensus track &gt; 

At the minute, we are listing only comic arcs in the Appearances sections, rather than individual issues. I don't think this is a good idea at all, seeing as how we're supposed to be a comprehensive encyclopedia and all. Having simply the arc listed means we don't know in which specific issue the subject first appeared, and also whether it appears in one issue of the arc, or in every one.

Of course, listing each issue causes concern over article length, but bear in mind we now have scroll boxes for long Appearances lists - and IMO, I don't think we should be more concerned about space than including as much detail and information as possible.

We already have something similar to what I'm proposing with the Clone Wars cartoons; articles include both "Star Wars: Clone Wars" and each relevant chapter as sub-bullet points. This could work in the same way. for example:

Appearances

 * Star Wars Legacy: Broken
 * Star Wars Legacy 1: Broken, Part 1
 * Star Wars Legacy 3: Broken, Part 3

Or, we could simply list each individual issue as a separate source, without grouping them under their arcs. This would save a little space, at least. So, consensus: include single issues in Appearances sections rather than arcs? - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 16:05, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

 * 1) comprehensive and detailed beats space-saving - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 16:05, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
