Talk:List of books
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Before I begin adding each individual issue, could someone tell me the exact name of the Marvel Star Wars series of comics? --Imperialles 18:49, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I believe it is simply "Star Wars"--Eion 21:31, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- In that case I'll name the articles Marvel Star Wars #1 and so on. --Imperialles 21:33, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Split?
Is it possibly time to split this article (into list of comics, list of novels and short story collections, etc.)? It's a bit long. Silly Dan 01:59, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I think a good comprehensive list is due. I think we shouldn't get too split crazy--Eion 04:00, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
In that case, it should be renamed "List of publications". A comprehensive list is good, but there's nothing bad about having a Comic page that goes into greater detail. --SparqMan 04:34, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I have revamped the List of Comics page, does anyone think that it is a good idea for the comics portion of this article just to say see List of Comics? OOM-30 17:30, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
- I think it's nice to have this complete list. I'll put a main article link over the comics section in this page though. Adamwankenobi 17:38, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
- I for one, feel that this page is too lengthy for just "books". As I mentioned in my comment below, I think that perhaps we should mirror the style of the timeline pages; i.e. - break it down to books, comics, films, television series, & video games, as well as perhaps separate lists for adult novels & young adult books. A comprehensive list of all publications/releases might be nice, but I would put forth that it should not be split at all, and should be relatively all-inclusive (basically, everything short of action figures and other toys should be included.) I think that once you break it down to books and comics (as this page is currently), the comics ought to be split off, as has been done with the timeline page. --daNi 14:17, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Order
Should we sort this after IU or OOU chronology, or alphabetically? --Imperialles 18:54, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Alpabetically seems easiest. A Chronology listing is better suited to covering the sequence of events.--Eion 19:23, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- A list of books in publication order would also be helpful. --SparqMan 21:24, 4 Jan 2006 (UTC)
Publication order would be VERY useful. I've been looking for such a list for the last month and haven't found anything.
- I prefer chronological order. It makes sense for the uses of this encyclopedia. Adamwankenobi 03:53, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with SparqMan, we need a publication-order list of all books - we already have an in-universe chronological list of books (Timeline of Books), no need to repeat it here.
It's up to debate what to include in this list, but perhaps we should mirror all our in-universe timelines with an equivilent real-world timeline of publication; then, we can just have a little message at the top of all timeline pages (very akin to the "You may be looking for:" box), saying: "This timeline is sorted chronologically according to real-world publication (or release) date. You may be looking for this timeline, sorted chronologically according to in-universe date" (or vice versa, depending on the page.)
As for the alphabetical idea, what purpose does that have? If someone is trying to find a book, wouldn't it be easier to just search for the title? Maybe I'm wrong, but I think we only need the IU and OOU timelines. --daNi 13:56, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Authors
Why do some have authors listed and others don't? It should be consistent.211.30.75.248 05:29, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Red Links
The stubs for the Star Wars Adventure Game Books (Hunt the Sunrunner, etc.) already exist if someone can link them. Also, isn't there a book called "The Gospel According to Star Wars" ? Or is that something else? Corellian Premier 18:44, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
