Individual Pages

I think having an individual page for each book is a great idea (although it will take some time). Maybe we could come up with a standard template for each one. Maybe something like:

Title
Date published
Major characters involved
Brief synopsis
Expanded synopsis (That includes spoilers)

Any ideas? - Fastestdogever 04:01, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that it would be a fascinating endeavor, though very overwhelming. I'll have to do some studying and thinking about it. It seems kind of overdone to have a page per book, yet to split it up and have one page per type (regular, mystery, super special, etc.) means some of the pages would get to be much too long. All worth some consideration, though! AffirmationChick 18:13, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It may be a bit too much, at least for now, to create several pages about each of the books. Besides, I think we should keep the list, as it would be helpful, and the list itself needs a TON of work. Maybe in the future, the individual pages can be created, but for now, I suggest that we work on fixing this list. --Shruti14 ^{t c s} 22:49, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clean Up

As it stands now, this list needs a LOT of work. It does not comply with the Wikipedia Manual of Style at all, the list was not numbered correctly with MediaWiki WikiLang syntax (I'm fixing this at the moment), and the summaries are short, incomplete, incorrect, and are written with poor grammar. The list page itself also needs a lot of work. --Shruti14 ^{t c s} 22:49, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This list continues to need a lot of work, because only the main books are numbered correctly for some reason. I'm not sure how to do it, though, as when I went to do it, it listed them all as "1." I'll try to find out, but if someone else knows how, it would be easier. As it stands now, this list almost looks worse than when I was in here six months ago...

The numbering problem may have been because of extra spaces between each entry--you can't have spaces between the entries on an automated numbered list. Propaniac (talk) 12:21, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
