==Welcome==
Welcome Dawn! Thanks for adding more romance info to the wiki. Looks like you are doing a good job and are finding your way around. As you learned, sometimes there is more than one book with the same title. In that case we use the author's name as part of the book page name. When you make a link to that page use the real book page name then a pipe {"|"} followed by the real book name so the link looks pretty. Feel free to ask questions. --[[User:Kay T|Kay T]] 16:30, 29 August 2007 (PDT)
: Thank you Kay T. I didn't realize I had found a book with more than one author for the title. I apologize for editing without checking that first (though I though I did). Thanks. --[[User:DawnBurn|DawnBurn]] 16:36, 29 August 2007 (PDT)

::We should probably put that in Help or someplace. No worries, things can always be fixed, or we could always change the way we do things! --[[User:Kay T|Kay T]] 16:40, 29 August 2007 (PDT)

:::Maybe we could put it somewhere on the [[Book Template]]? That way people would see it when creating new books and know to look for it and have a standard way of incorporating Author. Either as BookTitle - Author or BookTitle by Author. I personally feel that BookTitle - Author (as was used in the [[Familiar Stranger - Michele Hauf]]) is better than the other (as used in [[Mirage by Monica Burns]]). --[[User:DawnBurn|DawnBurn]] 18:44, 29 August 2007 (PDT)

::::Hi Dawn -- I see you've been busy, busy, busy! When I look back that the days when I'd check the "Recent Changes" page and see only my name, it's so cool to see how many new users are adding all sorts of incredible content! To address your comment about duplicate book titles (I recently found yet another ''Hunter's Moon''!), I use the book title - author name syntax because it looks cleaner to my eye. I see that Leigh has been busy creating a "same title" category and aggregating books with the same title on their proper pages. This will allow me to clean up the alpha books listings when I finish my current massive content project!

::::Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help...though it looks like you're doing better than great on your own!--[[User:Romancewiki|Romancewiki]] 13:12, 31 August 2007 (PDT)

:::::Thanks. I agree with you on the syntax. Now the question I have is how to change those pages that are not correct and flag for deletion? I will go ahead & create the proper syntax page for [[Mirage - Monica Burns | Mirage]], but that means that there will be two pages for that title that are now defunct. Is there a flag or a category or something we can add to those page for easy flagging for you and/or your trusted moderators? Thanks.--[[User:DawnBurn|DawnBurn]] 13:27, 31 August 2007 (PDT)

		+	== Thanks! ==

		+	Thanks for the tip about uploading covers and changing those pages (They originally just had the URL to the pic at the top of the page so that's why I moved the links) :) --[[User:Amy\|Amy]] 14:43, 5 September 2007 (PDT)
		+	:You are welcome and I figured you were more moving than linking yourself but hoped it didn't hurt to give more info. Also, great work on the Catherine Asaro book pages. --[[User:DawnBurn\|DawnBurn]] 16:14, 5 September 2007 (PDT)
		+
		+
		+	== template categories ==
		+
		+	Don't forget to put categories on your templates (which I can't remember how to do for you right this second). I think [[:category:Templates]] should do it.--[[User:Kay T\|Kay T]] 16:32, 4 September 2007 (PDT)
		+	:Okay. I didn't know to put them on all templates but I can go ahead and do that. Thanks. --[[User:DawnBurn\|DawnBurn]] 16:37, 4 September 2007 (PDT)
		+
		+	::I am a stickler for categories! There is a whole list of pages and categories without categories - my mission in life. Also, see my comment on [[:category:Erotic/Erotica]]. Now that you have created the great deletion template (thanks, looks good), we need a merge template! --[[User:Kay T\|Kay T]] 16:41, 4 September 2007 (PDT)
		+
		+	:::Oh sure, more work. =) I'll try to figure something out for merge. You want just another box bit so that people who visit the page(s) know or something to auto merge? I also didn't see your comments on [[:category:Erotic/Erotica]]. Did the wiki eat them? --[[User:DawnBurn\|DawnBurn]] 14:38, 5 September 2007 (PDT)
		+
		+	== Mirage ==
		+
		+	Looks like you got something straightened out here. RomanceWiki is the one who should know. So we probably need to either have her delete or redirect the [[Mirage (SP)]] and [[Mirage by Monica Burns]] pages. What does/did the (SP) stand for, I wonder? It is fun to learn about stuff here. We are much more forgiving than that big wiki! But I have learned about so much wiki stuff. and romance stuff. --[[User:Kay T\|Kay T]] 14:55, 31 August 2007 (PDT)
		+
		+	:Sorry, I did not read the above thread. I think we can put [[:category:Pages To Be Deleted]] on the pages and RomanceWiki will delete them. --[[User:Kay T\|Kay T]] 14:59, 31 August 2007 (PDT)
		+
		+	::Aha! Thank you for the magical category. =) I've messed at tiny bit with the 'big' wiki and have participated in other wikis (with different syntax, ugh). I'm enjoying stuff here and messing around and meeting everyone. -[[User:DawnBurn\|DawnBurn]] 15:01, 31 August 2007 (PDT)
		+
		+	:::No, I am just getting fluent with this MediaWiki syntax, don't even mention that there are others! I have adopted a project over on the big wiki, and suddenly I am creating pages, etc. (which I had never done there) just like around here! Ha!--[[User:Kay T\|Kay T]] 15:10, 31 August 2007 (PDT)

		+	== Luna series ==
		+
		+	Hi DawnBurn! Not sure if you saw but I replied to your questions on the [[Talk:Luna]] page. :)
		+	--[[User:Amy\|Amy]] 11:14, 31 August 2007 (PDT)
		+	:Hi Amy. I did I just hadn't had a chance to respond. Thanks! =) --[[User:DawnBurn\|DawnBurn]] 12:57, 31 August 2007 (PDT)
