[edit] Order Listed
Why are the novels listed in publication date instead of chronological date?
The author preferred chronological[1] and the current publications are in chronological order (and have been for a good deal of time). --71.94.78.226 (talk) 02:12, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- Publication order has been the consensus opinion of the editors here. It seems to be an informed opinion, that is to say, I think people understand the issues (pro and con) for either choice. Probably the best way to get the whole story is to read this article[2] LloydSommerer (talk) 02:36, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
There is 1 more template of Narnia.{{Template:Narnia characters}}.Should we merge the contents of that article to this template?.--SkyWalker (talk) 13:22, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- The idea when we merged several templates down to this one a few years ago was to keep it shorter than the sum of the other templates by providing links to lists and categories. The character and location sections are especially problematic in that you can add any number of articles to the. The idea in each section is to link to "Main" characters/locations only. Not even "Major" ones were included as that would quickly make the template unwieldy. There's still some question as to what constitutes a main character. Generally we've been going with characters that have important roles in more than one book and characters what play a major roll in one book. LloydSommerer (talk) 18:38, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
