Novel without Infobox (auto list): many novel articles do not have an infobox - and need one (auto generated list) - may need expansion of article too Our Collaboration Department is continuing with one more title Adam Bede for the current month. Get collaborating on the article and also look at nominating other titles to be considered. The new article Fictional locations now exists - as a companion article to Fictional characters - but it is still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. Another new article A Taste for Death (P.D. James novel)‎ now exists - but it is also still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. A new Infobox exists to support the growing number of "Short Story" articles that are tagged as part of the project - take a look at it and comment on it's talk page. I would suggest we use it for "Short Stories and "Novelettes" and leave the main "Book infobox" for "Novels" and "Novellas". New hitlists added to the main worklist.

[edit] Novel versus Movie

Cburnett you made an edit and said: "This novel box takes up way to much space to be at the top" ... but I disagree with you. I think that the movie is dominating this page and the book is getting little notice. I'm not going to move the Novel box back up to the top, but maybe you can suggest something that doesn't make the book the secondary topic of this page ... it was a novel first, after all. Just my 2 cents and an explanation for the way I had formatted the page. --Talia 16:24, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I understand where you're coming from, but that box takes up a lot of page real estate. I think you should split the movie off into its own article and leave the novel box at the bottom of the article (its still quite intrusive). Cburnett 16:31, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

Good idea ... I'm just not sure how to create a different article with the same title ... I'm still new to this. Can you point me to a tutorial? --Talia 16:36, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Never mind, I followed the example from the Harry Potter book pages. They added a (movie) at the end of the title. So I did this too. I hope this edit is okay ... if not it can always be reverted :) --Talia 19:05, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

That's the way to do it (exception would have been to "(2000 movie)" if there had been more than one movie named Chocolate). You should also go through the "What links here" [1] and go to all the articles about the movie and disambiguate the link. Cburnett 19:57, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

Okay all done, that took a while, but it was neat to learn all of that. Thanks :) --Talia 00:09, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Heh, no problem. Just for your future information, it is generally expected to "fix" things when breaking articles up or moving articles. Cburnett 02:19, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)

I think you could show the DVD reference for the film, too. One interesting point is the major difference between the film and the book. A completely new character (The Mayor)is inserted into the film, to save American objections to the portrayal of a Priest doing anything wrong. (In the context of the Catholic Bishops and child abuse more recently discovered, of course, this is a tad ironic). Cb@beeb.net 15.24 01 Nov 05
