Some of you may be aware that [[Snowbooks Ltd]] have released an Iris Wildthyme novel entitled [[Enter Wildthyme]], while this is currently a standalone release, the story does end on a cliffhanger, presumably in order to make a series of books. The reason for this post is that the book needs a prefix, the first that sprang to mind was "SB", but that could/is also being used for DW storybooks. So does anyone have an opinion on what the prefix should be? --[[User:Revanvolatrelundar|Revan]]\[[User_talk:Revanvolatrelundar|Talk]] 18:24, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

:Well the prefix for ''Storybooks'' is [[DWS]], so SB is indeed available.  But I wouldn't use it.  I think there simply aren't enough IW books to justify separate prefixes. I think it best to simply make the prefix [[IWN]], and put everything into that prefix, regardless of publisher.  Changing over prefixes isn't actually all that hard or time-consuming with a bot, so I say make it all IWN now, and change it later if there ever comes a time when any sort of useful distinction between the Snowbooks run and other runs arises. Chances are, judging from past IW book performance, that IW will be on to another publisher before Snowbooks gets their shoes under the bed.  {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">01:32: Wed&nbsp;19 Oct 2011&nbsp;</span>

Some of you may be aware that Snowbooks Ltd have released an Iris Wildthyme novel entitled Enter Wildthyme, while this is currently a standalone release, the story does end on a cliffhanger, presumably in order to make a series of books. The reason for this post is that the book needs a prefix, the first that sprang to mind was "SB", but that could/is also being used for DW storybooks. So does anyone have an opinion on what the prefix should be? --Revan\Talk 18:24, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Well the prefix for Storybooks is DWS, so SB is indeed available. But I wouldn't use it. I think there simply aren't enough IW books to justify separate prefixes. I think it best to simply make the prefix IW, and put everything into that prefix, regardless of publisher. Changing over prefixes isn't actually all that hard or time-consuming with a bot, so I say make it all IWN now, and change it later if there ever comes a time when any sort of useful distinction between the Snowbooks run and other runs arises. Chances are, judging from past IW book performance, that IW will be on to another publisher before Snowbooks gets their shoes under the bed.
