Periodical Creative Works

Hi there, IRONMANRS. In an effort to ensure stylistic consistency across the wiki, the Creative Works Style Guide was recently updated to better clarify and expand on the different types of creative works. Several of your recent updates include creative works that now fall under one of the newer categories. I know that you are involved in helping write a publication on behalf of TownCrier which would now be classified as periodicals under the updated style guide. Previously there was not a standard for their inclusion in the creative-work template, but that has now changed.

I wanted to reach out to you about Faction Attraction. The updated style guide recommends the following format for the article titles of individual issues:

Periodical series name/Individual periodical issue

Faction Attraction is already properly set up with this standard. The additional "nesting" under the larger TownCrier article is unnecessary but is also perfectly fine, so nothing needs to change with regard to the periodical or individual issue titles.

One thing that the articles are missing, however, is the creative-works template. I have added it in to the previously written issues (except for TownCrier/Faction Attraction/The Legions of B.A.C.O.N., as it appears to still be very much in progress), based on the article page creation dates. If you want any part of it to display differently, such as author name, you will need to go in and edit those articles further yourself. I left the author name field blank as there appear to be multiple editors on the individual articles, although you are the primary editor. In the future, you can add this on at the beginning of your individual articles using manually adding the template at the start of the article or via the associated form, which is linked just below that on the Style Guide article.
