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] Sword of Shannara Trilogy?!

Where did this come from? I think it should be changed to "Original Shannara Series" or "Original Shannara Trilogy" ! Kumarhk 11:49, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Word/Void

Thanks for adding on the Word/Void onto this template. I think, given the strong continuity between Word/Void and Shanarra, we can get rid of the Word/Void template altogether and just use this one. Sraan 22:49, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template title

How about "Novels in the Shannara universe by Terry Brooks" as a title? This would be accurate, even if we don't want to recognize Word/Void and Great Wars as truly a Shannara series. The current title is fairly confusing and wordy. Furthermore, the recognized title used on Terrybrooks.net for the original three novels is the Sword of Shannara Trilogy. It was even published as a trilogy recently. I realize that it was not originally called that when the books were written, but wouldn't that be the most official title as the official website uses it? I will bring it up on the Shannara page as well. Sraan 21:34, 8 September 2006 (UTC) Or "Novels in Terry Brooks' Shannara universe"? Sraan
