[edit]

Note: I'm not comfortable with the HHA5 shortcut with this book, but I don't see any other convenient way to categorize this book within the nomenclature (sp?) that has been adapted for the Honorverse books.

Does anybody have an opinion? How are we supposed to make a consensus with a group of one? (hehehehehe). I hesitate to remove the HHA5 shortcut, but I also hesitate to leave it. LP-mn (talk) 02:31, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The book is not Honorverse, so it should not have a HH code, nor be in the {{Honorverse}} template. Let's just call it "Worlds of Weber". Debresser (talk) 15:02, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Two of the stories in the book are Honorverse stories, though, so there should be some linking to it. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 19:17, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
So perhaps we should put the Honorverse template back in, as a compromise. Debresser (talk) 17:33, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think the template ought to link to it, as well, because there are the two stories in it. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 18:45, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This is actually a general question: should author/series templates links to anthologies with only one/two works of that author/series. Perhaps you'd know where to raise this question for more general input? Debresser (talk) 19:32, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Since this one is by the same author, and features that story on the cover, I think it's fine to include it. The two Honorverse stories take up nearly ⅓ of the book, too, so it's significant. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 19:43, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's clearly not part of the series, since the title is "Worlds of Weber". Clearly it covers multiple different fictional worlds. 65.94.253.16 (talk) 06:23, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No, the entire book isn't part of the series, but nearly ⅓ of the book is filled with Honorverse material. It should be included so people know about it. That's what the encyclopedia is all about: providing information to people. It's fine to be listed in the "other" section of the template, and it's fine for it to not be given an HH code, too, but it should be mentioned in the template. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 09:27, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
