Template talk:ComicBookBox
Problems[edit]
I see several major problems with this box as it stands:
- It's too wide. {{Superherobox}} is already too wide, probably the widest infobox on Wikipedia, and needs to be cut down. Adding another TWO of the same width isn't the best of ideas.
- What does "Scenarist" mean? Rename or remove.
- Authors - is this a complete listing of writers and artists to have worked on the book (the box might get scarily long) or current listing in the case of ongoing books? And if the latter, what about cancelled/completed comics that have had multiple writers/artists?
- Leading on from that, is this ONLY for ongoing comics?
- ISBNs - no, comics don't have them.
- Publication frequency is often variable, between writer/artist lateness and occasional fortnightly issues of monthly comics.
I think this needs some serious rethinking. - SoM 17:55, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
- I thought this was for graphic novels, which have an ISBN, not for ongoing comics? Anke 07:19, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
What do we do with an article that represents a team and the name of a series? Put both boxes? brain 15:26, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- This is currently not to be used, since it's so badly flawed. Put the team box - SoM 15:39, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
