Ok, I created Custom Style Shortcuts using WikiStyles for the tables of contents and for the book info boxes (you can see both on the Crown Duel page, and the table of contents box appears on this page as well. What do you think? Should the colors be different, the borders be thicker, or anything like that? bookaddict May 10, 2008, at 10:48 PM
I figured I'd better double-check the pertinent pages (like on the Venn) in case a reader or two might cruise by here looking for data, when King's Shield comes out. As usual I found a zillion stupid tyops, and a couple of loose connections. I completely lost the Marloven Timeline and had to reconstruct it, which took a very long time this morning, so i don't dare mess with trying to create a link from the Atlas Venn page to the Culture Venn page. (There already is a link going backward.) If anyone who, unlike me, actually possesses a brain and would be willing to fix that, I thank you.sherwood June 28, 2008 4:38 p.m.
I wanted to divide up the topics in Lifestyle and Culture, since the list was getting kind of long and unwieldy. But I couldn't think of good categories to divide the topics into, so I just sort of grouped together ones that were related. I'd still like to have categories or something, though, so if anyone has ideas, go ahead and move things around on the page or list your suggestions here! bookaddict May 10, 2008, at 09:46 PM
I just added the characters from King's Shield onto the Inda Series page. Originally, I'd had all the characters from the series on one page, for ease. If there were any important character changes, I'd just leave them on the individual character pages, with spoiler warnings (like here). But there are major changes in The Fox. Because some of those changes are important to understand for people reading King's Shield, I wanted them to be easy to find. So I put them on the main page with spoiler warnings. However, that just doesn't really seem to work to me. Should I go ahead and split the character list back up into individual pages for each book (as it is on Sherwood's website)? Or should any major changes just go on the individual character pages, as I had originally planned? bookaddict June 28, 2008, at 09:57 PM
I put a family tree table here, to get started on the big interlocking family trees (and since it was always something that intrigued/confused me, and I thought it'd be helpful to have a visual, explorable representation...) but would like some feedback. I think it's important to have siblings right there, but it's hard to get it to work gracefully. In general, but specifically the siblings area, is it fairly intuitive? (I have a lot to learn...) ghuzayyil August 17, 2007, at 03:07 AM
Ok, I created "Guest Editors" and "Spoiler Protocol" in the Editing Guidelines, but it would be nice if someone else would go over them. Especially look over the Spoiler Protocol, as I may have made it too complicated. I also added an "Other Helpful Hints" section for guidelines we talked about but I didn't think warranted an entire section. bookaddict August 19, 2007, at 01:25 AM
Questions re: Guest Editing: Are people only going to be able to obtain the guest password through athanarel? Or do we want to come up with another way, so that people don't have to have an LJ account to get it? Also, if people come upon this website without going through Athanarel, and decide they want to be a regular contributor, how can they do that? bookaddict August 19, 2007, at 12:09 AM
I've begun work on Crown Duel's Readers Guide. I've been playing around with formatting (using Wikipedia's formatting for book pages as a guide), and I've also begun work on a summary of the book. What do you all think? Feel free to make changes or add to the summary! bookaddict May 07, 2008, at 03:32 PM
