Talk:Book:The Colour of Magic

Seeing the list of books mentioned here, I'm going to suggest another thing from the German Wiki: A namespace for books. i.e. Book:The Colour of Magic So you can still make a page telling you that The Colour of Magic is octarine or Mort is the name of Death's... --Death 09:50, 5 Aug 2005 (CEST)

I think the only exception is Mort, who is both a Character and a Book. It's not as if words are automatically linked just because there's a page with that title, so that doesn't really pose a problem.

Well, that's not the main reason for an own namespace, just an additional pro. I'd also suggest Game:. --Death 17:06, 5 Aug 2005 (CEST)

Other examples are Pyramids, Eric, Moving Pictures, Sourcery, Small Gods, Hogfather, The Fifth Elephant, Night Watch, Monstrous Regiment and the Book:Thud and the Game:Thud --Death 10:00, 8 Aug 2005 (CEST)

Well, it sounds a bit like missuse of namespaces to me but maybe I'm just too used to the system of Wikipedia where the entire encycolpedia is in one namespace. Jeltz 12:22, 8 Aug 2005 (CEST)

Okay, I've added a Book: namespace and Game: namespace, with Book_Discussion and Talk_Discussion. --Sanity 13:33, 8 Aug 2005 (CEST)

That means moving all the pages and changing all the links, doesn't it? --Death 12:23, 9 Aug 2005 (CEST)

While talking about books: A template for things that should be mentionend when describing a book might be usefull. They could be used to create a new book page by writing {{subst:book}} and saving the page. That would give you an empty layout where you just have to fill in the details and book pages would look similar. (I better move this to somewhere else) --Death 17:12, 5 Aug 2005 (CEST)
