Revert the Table
Why was the formatting changed to a messy table without talking about it on the talk page first? It's bulky and only makes editing this page needlessly difficult. I am opposed to this format and would like it to be changed back to subsections the way the Lethbridge-Stewart (series) and Dr. Men (series) pages are. Mewiet ☎ 04:32, January 12, 2018 (UTC)
- Oh, sorry. I figured it was simply a matter of things not getting done; most big book series overviews have tables. Personally, I dislike the simple lists due how little information they convey and the amount of empty space they create on the page.
- Erimem is slowly but surely growing and I don't think that this article can continue to divide the novels and short stories. Auld Acquaintance, for example, is just as important to the ongoing plot as any of the novels. For the sake of readers going into the series, I think it's important to indicate that Into the Unknown and All I Want for Christmas were released before The Three Faces of Helena.
- How would you feel about keeping the table, but simplifying it and dividing it by years of release, like the navigation box? Then have the information that was bulking up the table in paragraphs at the bottom of each section. Something like:
Stories by year of release
2015
| Title | Type | Writer(s) | Release date |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Last Pharaoh | Novel | Iain McLauglin | 2015 |
2015 was the first year of Erimem. These things happened.
The Last Pharaoh introduced the characters of Andy Hansen.....
2016
| Title | Type | Writer(s) | Release date |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Last Pharaoh | Novel | Iain McLauglin | 2016 |
You get the idea.
You're completely right that the current thing is too bulky, and I think that^ is the solution. Thoughts? I can't really think of any other way to divide Erimem. CoT ? 05:05, January 12, 2018 (UTC)
