Separate articles or just the one?[[edit source]]

What's the plan? Will we be just doing a single article on the arc, or will the individual chapters have their own articles? If not, we should create redirects back here. 23skidoo 21:08, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

When I created the article I didn't have enough information to make separate articles for each story, I think we should create new pages when each story is released. Americanwhofan 01:56, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Audio Story[[edit source]]

I noticed this isn't titled Hornets' Nest (audio story). Is there a special reason for that? I noticed the same for a couple other audios too. Mewiet 18:10, August 4, 2014 (UTC)

Well, it's not an audio story, is it? It's an anthology. Some anthologies do have a dab term, but I don't know if it's required. Shambala108 20:01, August 4, 2014 (UTC)

Ah, I see what you're saying. I was thrown off by the fact that it's tagged with the 2009 audio stories category. Mewiet 22:59, August 4, 2014 (UTC)
Working on something else, I discovered the proper category for this kind of page is Category:Audio overviews, and the dab term, which is rarely used, is apparently "audio series". "Anthologies" seems to be used specifically for prose. Shambala108 14:07, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
