Talk:Iris Wildthyme (series)

Discussion page

multiple publishers

The "Publisher" field in the infobox currently only says "Big Finish Productions." It should link to Big Finish Productions, Obverse Books, and Snowbooks Ltd. But it seems it only accepts one value. Does someone else know how to do it? Fwhiffahder 20:13, December 20, 2016 (UTC)

Very simple: you add a publisher2 and publisher3.

List of stories

Although I myself rather have it as a list, rather than a table, I'd understand why a table is more useful than a simple list. However, if we are to stick with a table, I think that audio and prose should definitely not be on the same table. They are very different forms of presenting stories, and it should be enough to separete these already.

However, the fact that Big Finish Productions has published both novels and audios means it would get a bit more difficult to keep track of what's audio and what's not.

Moreover, look at the # column of the table: we have two entries for 5. How are we to be able to keep track of what is what when the numbering cross between different media? OncomingStorm12th 20:55, December 20, 2016 (UTC)

This way the releases are put in the correct order regardless of publisher, which means the page is actually useful. Before, when they were split up by publisher, you had to check all three to figure out what the correct order was for reading/listening. Fwhiffahder 21:43, December 20, 2016 (UTC)
I see where you're coming from. But, I believe, most readers would be searching trhough the order of stories released by each publisher (to have some sort of continuity between products).

For example: suppose sees the page Iris: Abroad and wants to know what comes after it (through the Iris Wildthyme (series) page). This person would see Aboard is numbered 4. Obviously, this person would search for #5. But would this number 5 be "Wildthyme in Purple" or "Wildthyme Reloaded"? Yes, I know that the one by the same publisher as Aboard would be WiP, but it is very weird and confusing to have two different things having the same number, on the same table.

I don't think everything related to Iris WIldthyme (series) need to be put in chronological release order. Having it listed through the release order of each publisher seems just fine for me. OncomingStorm12th 21:50, December 20, 2016 (UTC)
