Template talk:Item/Book

Volume/Volumes
There is already a volume parameter in this template that can be used for the number of volumes or, if the article is about one volume of a set, then this field could be set to "Vol. 3 of 12" for example. I don't really see the need for another parameter with such a similar name. For that matter, pages could be set to "834 in 12 volumes" if appropriate. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 20:49, November 22, 2018 (UTC)


 * I find that very confusing actually. The field says simply "Volume" as a title, which strongly implies which volume a particular book is in a series, not the number of volumes a multi-volume work has. Also, the similar "Pages" for number of pages is listed in the Description section. I agree that it makes sense to set pages to "834 in 12 volumes", but that only works if one knows the number of pages, which I don't for the case I used. ~ Lhynard (talk) 21:03, November 22, 2018 (UTC)


 * I propose changing the label to "Volume(s)" so it can be the multi-purpose field it was meant to be. Also, pages should probably be moved to the Basic information section. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 04:36, November 23, 2018 (UTC)


 * That sounds fair enough. ~ Lhynard (talk) 05:03, November 23, 2018 (UTC)
