Words of Radiance

Hi, I was wondering why we are creating separate pages for the chapter summaries. I don't think we've done that for the other books. Hadhad (talk) 11:44, 7 March 2016 (MST)

It is a side project of mine that has unfortunately been on the back-burner for quite some time. Mostly because I wanted to spend a reasonable amount on time on each chapter and trying to get them as complete as possible before moving on the next one. What I did not want was just a copy/paste of what was on summary page (as that serves little purpose). They also should not have the {{stormlight}} and {{partial}} as that messes with the site statistics. Sorry Figberts, this is my fault as I never got around to writing a style guide on how I wanted these written.--WeiryWriter (talk) 16:28, 7 March 2016 (MST)

I get it, the issue is that there is a template {{Words of Radiance Summaries}} that references uncreated pages, which are each chapter of Words of Radiance. The template was on a lot of pages, and the links led nowhere. I wanted to make sure they led to something, just for ease of reference. -- User: Figberts

Hey Figberts, I moved this back to your talk page as that's where the rest of the discussion is.

With regard to the template and the summary pages, at least they're all made now so they can be updated more easily --Joe ST (talk) 00:21, 8 March 2016 (MST)

So are these separate chapter summary pages just for the Stormlight series? -- Hadhad

TBH it's still just an experiment. given the amount of time put into this wiki being probably much less than the amount required to make high-quality per-chapter summary pages for all the books, who knows. --Joe ST (talk) 06:07, 8 March 2016 (MST)

The thing is I was well aware of the redlink situation and it was something I was considered. I still did not want copy/pasted articles from the main summary page. In my mind those redlinks served more of a purpose as a reminder to work on this project than just splitting the main summary page into individual ones as that really adds nothing to the site (as the individual pages were supposed to go into more depth). Regardless this is kind of a moot point now, as even though I do not believe they should have been created, they were and deleting them would be pointless.

And apologies if I'm coming off as rather brusque, this is just a personal project of mine that I was not expecting other people to expand upon at this time.

Also as Joe said, this is still mostly just an experiment just on WoR.--WeiryWriter (talk) 06:29, 8 March 2016 (MST)

I see! Sorry about that.--Figberts (talk) 11:09, 8 March 2016
