Talk:Dragon (magazine)

Can I get a word from any admins as to whether or not this would be the proper way to start this article? Also is it proper under "source material"? Johnnyriot999 12:28, 23 February 2007 (UTC)


 * The question is "what is the proper name of this article?" I think you have chosen a good one, which immediately avoids confusion with the creature, but is the magazine called merely "Dragon" or is it called "Dragon Magazine"? Fw190a8 01:29, 24 February 2007 (UTC)


 * "TSR cancelled The Strategic Review and replaced it with The Dragon which later became Dragon Magazine and finally Dragon." Perhaps a cover of a more recent issue would clear that up? Johnnyriot999 13:49, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Index Name Fixes
At one point, I'm going to fix the Index table with the proper names of the early issues, it was called The Dragon for the first bit, the simply Dragon for bit, then finally Dragon magazine. --Regis87 (talk) 17:51, January 26, 2018 (UTC)


 * I already did the first part before reading this. :)


 * We need to be careful with the Dragon vs. Dragon Magazine distinction though. The covers switched back and forth between both&mdash;Dragon to Dragon Magazine (but "Magazine" was tiny text) and back to Dragon, but if you look at the official copyright info, it was Dragon Magazine into the 300s somewhere.

 * Guys, I might be able to generate that entire table using a template, so I recommend you concentrate your efforts on getting the articles up to date and accurate, because the template will (hopefully) be pulling the data from those articles, mainly the infobox, but potentially other stuff too. EDIT: Note that I just added the edition parameter to the Dragon magazine template. :) &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 18:42, January 26, 2018 (UTC)
 * I noticed you added a Game Edition part to the infobox, already added to a few of the new articles I did today, and added to my master template file I work from. --Regis87 (talk) 18:48, January 26, 2018 (UTC)


 * Awesome. We'll probably want to use a bot to do some major search-and-replaces across the wiki. ~ Lhynard (talk) 18:50, January 26, 2018 (UTC)
 * a bot would be incredibly helpful, for adding to the infoboxes on existing articles. Adding game editions and volume #'s shoul be a breeze for one, but would that allow for adding missing cover artists or editors, or would that be done manually? I'm not familiar with the scripting involved. Manually adding missing cover artists/editor isn't an issue for me, as i was going to go through the existing articles to add content sections anyways.--Regis87 (talk) 18:54, January 26, 2018 (UTC)


 * I'll see what I can do with the bot when I get home tonight. It may not be much, but we'll see. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 19:17, January 26, 2018 (UTC)
