Appearances vs further reading
Hi! Thanks for the help, I would like to clarify which is considered appearances and what is further reading. So i know now instead of making erroneous edits/additions.

Source books (now i know ha) and magazines are further reading, and novels and computer games are appearances. Is there anything else? modules, for example.

Cheers! --Regis87 (talk) 00:50, January 4, 2018 (UTC)


 * Appearances are used for stories and adventures. The source is not about the person, place, or thing; the person, place, or thing appears in the source.


 * Further reading is for learning more about the person, place, or thing.


 * A true sourcebook is a book that contains a bunch of information, whereas an adventure module is more of a guided story.


 * Sometimes, sourcebooks include adventures and vice versa. For example, see Polar bear, where there is an adventure module in the sourcebook that counts as an appearance.


 * I hope that helps!

Doubt with names
Hi. I'm working in an article about the Cloaktower of Neverwinter. However, while the name "Cloaktower" is used in Volo's Guide to the North, the place is named "Cloak Tower" in both the Neverwinter Campaign Setting and in the MMO. Which name should I use for the article? Thanks. --Zero (talk) 19:23, January 29, 2018 (UTC)


 * Usually, our policy is to use the more recent naming, unless we can build an argument that there was a typo or mistake in the more recent source.


 * So, in your case, I would go with Cloak Tower and make Cloaktower a redirect to Cloak Tower.


 * You should also use the  field in the infobox template to put the alternate name and note it in the lead sentence: "The Cloak Tower (also written Cloaktower) was&hellip;."

Yearbox Category Order
I've been doing a lot of work Obarskyr events to the timelines and I'm wondering if there's a set order for the categories. I feel like there really should be, but there's some inconsistencies between years. Considering that there are a LOT of years, this is understandable, but some sort of order in the Template:Yearbox/doc would be helpful.

As far as I understand it's something like in-conflicts > in-deities > births > deaths > in-politics > misc > novels. Is it the case that most important sections in the given year are first? Is it alphabetical?
