This page is about the actual Games Workshop Publishing company. Links about the fictional Eldar Black Library lead here as well. Should we fix that? It seems there should be two articles. One about the Eldar Library and one about the publishing company that is named after it.
If you ask me, you should fix it, by splitting the side in two, and making a linkside in front of them.

[edit] The Eldar Black Library
A bit of a stub, isn't it? This should be expanded on, and preferably by someone who's a long-term Eldar player. I know quite a lot, but not enough. Sanctusmortis 18:45, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
ISBN-Numbers
What do you think, should i add up the ISBN-Numbers to the novals in the table?

[edit] Book table
Would like to suggest that the exhaustive book list be removed, as it serves little purpose other than to duplicate the product list found on the Black Library website. -- saberwyn 10:42, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- What I'd be interested in doing is perhaps breaking things down a bit. The table is unweildy and probably unecessary. my suggestion is this: Create the following entries Warhammer 40,000 novels and Warhammer Fantasy novels. Then use those entries as overviews of the general area - a lot of those novel series have their own entries so create sections for each series and use {{Main}} (alongside a paragraph about the series) to link through to those that do have entries. Then the other sections can be worked on and expanded until they reach a size they can be split off to their own entries (The Inquisition War being the most obvious). It'd allow more a more prose approach (which is usually prefered over tables) and break down the data into more usable chunks (it'd also make lead entries for the categories like Category:Warhammer 40,000 novels. Although not finished yet Warhammer 40,000 comics is shaping up as a good overview on the various comics. If that sounds like the right way to go I can help sketch things and see how it goes.

- There is a side issue as well. Some of those novels are listed as being published in 1993. As the company was formed in 1997 this is a tad odd. I assume those early novels were published by Games Workshop. This like Darco (listed as 1993) were reprinted later (in 2002 [1]). I don't know if this is considered a big deal but worth beairng in mind. (Emperor 23:05, 31 May 2007 (UTC))
I agree with you, that the booklist should have an own site, as well as a comic list. But I would't break the list down to the 5 categories (WHF, WH40K; Necromunda; Bloodbowl; Horus Heresy) because than you don't have the overlook in one table. It would be great if you make a side to the booklist, and than link all sides of the books to this list!
