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 The_History_of_Tom_Jones,_a_Foundling 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] Section Headings

Although I by no means want to get into an edit war, I really do think we should try and keep the section titles the way they have been outlined in Wikipedia:WikiProject_Novels (see the Template). Specifically, I'm talking about the "Plot summary" and "Characters in "The Black Company"" headings. This doesn't mean there can't be other headings not listed in the template (such as the "Background" heading), but the whole point of the novel project is consistency. Any objections? - Runch 17:02, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

In addition to having no objections, I am all in favor of consistency.

I didn't know there was a template. No problem (though I find it silly to have the title repeated). Funny thing is, I've edited lots of novel articles, and not one of them followed the guidelines. Clarityfiend 22:47, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

No problem - just pointing it out. Maybe the old articles were created before the Novel Wikiproject got popular, or maybe they're just in need of updating! ;-) - Runch 00:59, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
