Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Comics/to do

1. Attract more members!
   1. Develop a project template to go at the top of talk pages, like template:philosophy, to build awareness. DONE
2. Settle on a hierarchy for the "big" pages like comics, comic book, graphic novel, sequential art (my instinct is to merge and redirect this to comics), underground comics and alternative comics (merge these two? restructure?), etc.
   1. See below and at this page.
3. Develop a "template" for comics articles. This would replace the "related articles" section.
   1. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Comics/templates, and discuss there.
4. Select an "exemplar" article for various categories (character, creator, etc.), upon which we should model every other article of that category.
   1. See archived discussion and then resurrect below.
5. Fill out everything in Category:Comics stubs
   1. Figure out how to link to a category page, instead of using [[Category:Foo]] which means "Add this page to Category:Foo" :
      1. Here's one [way] to do it. ike9898 20:03, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC)
         1. That's what I did above; I'm just looking for a more elegant way. -leigh (φθόγγος) 20:34, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)
      2. [[:Category:Comics stubs]] produces Category:Comics stubs)
6. Develop templates for:
   1. Comics publisher articles
   2. Comic-book series articles (Template:ComicBookBox)

• What about start indexing series? The content of every issue can be added at the bottom of the article. Covers could be added too.--andresin 17:01, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

• I think this would be a bit overkill, especially when you start adding in cover images. Think about series like Batman with 600-700 issues. I think the index is something that maybe could exsist on an entirely seperate ComicsOnly Wiki, but for these purposes it would just be too much. --AjaxSerix 19:28, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

• I see your point. What about a separated article (ie. Detective_Comics:Index)? I really like the idea of getting information about every comic (or book, or CD, DVD...) from the Wikipedia, like a free (in the whole sense of the world) culture catalog. Each issue could be connected with evey author's article, or characters's article...--andresin 09:28, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

1. 1. Comic-book characters (Template:Superherobox)
   2. Supporting characters (Template:Supersupportingbox)
   3. Non-superhero comic book characters
      1. Aren't the last two above one and the same? Steve block talk 23:05, July 31, 2005 (UTC)
      2. I agree with Steve. I support ONE only type of character, even if the character doesn't belong to a superheroe or mainstream comic.--andresin 16:57, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
   4. Comic-book teams (Template:Superteambox)
   5. Comic-book artifacts
   6. Other?
2. Start a comics collaboration of the week.
3. Make a wiki on WikiCities for comics. See proposal.
4. Make a Comic Book Category Portal see Culture Portal
   1. I'd suggest it should be a comics portal. Steve block talk 20:31, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
