Wiki Page Layout (Dr. S . & VQ) Project

[Visitor Q]

I am helping Dr. S. with a project of his, a write-up on how to add entries to the Wiki.

On my end I am working on a template that people can just cut and paste, filling in the blanks to add the new comix. My question is this, is everyone ok with the format and looks of the following entry?

I have look through a bunch of different ones and find this one to be the neatest and most constructive.

Thoughts?

I would move the publisher to a "Publisher" field rather than populate it under the title at the top of the page, or above each printing, as it were. It gets lost there.

Are the fields that are there going to be static? I don't think it's necessary to have multiple fields for cover price, even though some comics (mainly foreign) have multiple currency denominations. I would simply string it all on one line (i.e., Cover Price: $0.25 / $0.35 outside of the Bay Area). Separating it onto multiple lines implies that there are multiple versions, each with a different price.

  I was just about to post asking about a template for users and  looky here.  Thats a great suggestion and I think would be the most useful for all.  Some of us are not that computer savvy when it comes to that type of stuff.  The format looks fine to me Jason.   Good Job !!

Your thoughts have been considered and the example has been updated.

Thank you. I think that's a lot more concise now!

Yeah, it's looking pretty good (I think). I like the box look... Still a work in progress.

Looks good, I'm not a fan of the box look but it'll do.  Is it really necessary to have a box around the cover though?  And can we have  a spot next to the cover for scans of the back cover?

I will add a slot of the back cover, good idea.

Other option is something like this...

The box look to me is much cleaner IMO.

 That's good suggestion on back cover scan  50 cents.  Some backcovers nicer than front &  sometimes different with print change.

I think the box looks cleaner, too.

 The backcover ? led me to ask if a place for  IFC or IBC should be included also?   If this is going to be the place  that puts all the info together  then  I think there is a need there.  MY 2cents!

Updated to include back cover...

I will work on it more later.

Please leave your ideas and suggestion here for me in this thread. I ask that you please do not edit the "Amazing Dope Tales" entry at this time.

Thanks.

No offense but I am going to steal a few ideas from yours to make mine even better.
