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. --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. --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! --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). --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!--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, 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.--DawnBurn 13:27, 31 August 2007 (PDT)
