Template talk:Infobox Novelist

Variable definition
What's meant to be the difference between "novel" and "writing"? The variable names should give a clearer indication of what information the fields are meant to contain, otherwise people will abuse the template. I know the instructions say "writing" means "notable works", but that's still not particularly different from "novel". For the purposes of this wiki, an author's DWU novels are his notable works. If you're meaning to suggest that "writing" should indicate his work outside the DWU, then the variable should be something like "nonDWwork" or something similar. Frankly, though, if that's the meaning, it probably shouldn't be in the infobox, because the infobox should give vital info as it pertains to the Whnoiverse. Actos' infoboxes don't allow for major non DW roles, for instance.  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍  21:21, March 5, 2010 (UTC)
