User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon/@comment-1398253-20150322013626/@comment-188432-20150326023750 Well actually for comics, provisions have been made to list the reprints. That sort of information is actually important to people who care about comics, so a lot of care was taken to make sure the infobox could handle it. Please see Template:Infobox Story/doc/comic story for additional details.

Long and short of it is that {{{publication}}} is for the original publication only. {{{reprint}}} through {{{reprint9}}} are for the reprints.

We're actually trying to do kinda the opposite of what Shambala said and get the reprint stuff out of the article and into the infobox, so that the data there can be leveraged by data mining tools like SMW. Yes, it makes the infobox longer, but it makes the data more useful, so it's worth the length. If it turns out that the boxes are getting super long we can always do things like collapse portions of the infobox.
