Forum:Should novels & audio stories have a plot description?

This feeds in slightly from the Forum:Character information on novels, etc discussion.

How much information should we include on story articles? Novels and audio stories don't have a plot description. They both have Publisher's summaries, which serve a similar role to the 'Synopsis' on the TV story pages. Is this enough?

Should we have a Plot or Summary section on all the novel and audio story articles? --Tangerineduel / talk 14:31, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

A lot of those synopses are taken care of thanks to the folks at Tetrap. However, there are some gaps in their coverage of all the materials, so there are at least limited circumstances where a synopsis by us would be useful. Any such synopses would have to be pretty short, and of course would be seriously laden with spoilers.

It's amusing in some respects. A lot of the plots can already be assembled by visiting the linked pages of people/places/things -- a definite Exercise for the Readers. I'd be in favor of including (and writing!) short synopses. --Gousha 21:31, March 22, 2011 (UTC)
