In what way is this better than what we currently use? I don't understand the point at all. --Suki Brits 18:56, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

The current format just looks ugly and mismanaged to me. If it's only me that likes this, I won't cry over deletion. Interrobang 19:01, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
I'd like to see it in use. Oh, you have it here...
...that's not bad. All the contribuiter fields are plural, it's canted for covering stories, not issues (we do sometimes have articles for ulti-part stories folded into one, can you think of a way to rephrase the)issue number' so that say, 32-36 would make sense as a possible value?
Also, we need a series field. I want this box to say 'Panni Armada Comic' on it somewhere, not just the publisher. And if Dreamwave hadn't subtitled its G1 minis, we'd have to do 'Dreamwave Generation 1 v2', etc. It should support that functionality.
If we're integrating that, might it make sense to integrate comicvav in some less verbose fashion? We have publisher, issue, how about previous and next as %lt;%lt; and %gt;%gt;? (the only problem is that the logical place to put those controls is above the title, which is kinda obnoxious.) -Derik 19:28, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
