Category talk:Novel series

I think that we should reach a convention on the article names for the novel series. I'd like to propose that we don't include the words 'series' or 'trilogy' in the article name, since other articles are just named straightforwardly&mdash;you wouldn't find an article called "Drizzt Do'Urden dark elf"! The exception to this would be where the name of the series or trilogy is also the name of another article, such as "The Year of Rogue Dragons". In this case, I think the words 'series' or 'trilogy' should be at the end of the article name, in parentheses, such as "The Year of Rogue Dragons (trilogy)". This is consistent with the way other articles are disambiguated. I don't think we need a formal policy for this one, just a general agreement to restore a convention!

 * We need to get some system, yes, but some pages will just sound silly without something like trilogy/series appended (e.g. Avatar series/trilogy, and like you said series named after characters (e.g. the Erevis Cale trilogy)). Basicly we should just drop by wizards.com if in doubt what the proper name of the series is (bearing in mind that Wizards names for their products can be somewhat inconsistant..). But yeah..Zerak talk 20:52, 16 April 2007 (UTC)


 * That's a good point you make about the Avatar series. I hadn't thought of that. I'm all for using the wizards.com naming, unless it's obviously flawed, and sometimes mistakes do creep into their site, as you point out. Fw190a8 22:10, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
