Template talk:NovelsCreated
We can actually move (or alias) this and put the episode sections in here, too, so that one template call prints all applicable sections.--Hardvice (talk) 02:03, 19 December 2007 (EST)
- I thought about that too, but it seems like a waste to go through the novels and episodes for each person, when most people only do one or the other.--MiamiVolts (talk) 02:06, 19 December 2007 (EST)
- It would be a nice way to catch when, say, an episode writer writes her first GN. I have a feeling this automation is going to make us a bit lazy, and it's likely we'll forget to go and add the template for the other function. But then again, I guess it's no more likely than forgetting to add the new variable to crewnav.--Hardvice (talk) 02:08, 19 December 2007 (EST)
- Well, this template actually already does 4 searches for every pageload. If Admin thinks it's okay to do both, it's fine with me but I really do worry about taxing the server and the resulting performance in terms of speed.--MiamiVolts (talk) 02:11, 19 December 2007 (EST)
- I was able to modify Template:DPLSearch to use this template. Who is left to switch over from the graphic novel crew? Also, another thing we could do is to make the episode and graphic novel checklists dynamic such that they note where the NovelsCreated/EpisodesCreated template needs to be added. DPL opens a lot of possibilities.--MiamiVolts (talk) 02:56, 19 December 2007 (EST)

Multiple creators
The code is breaking for when there are multiple artists or writers for a single novel, such as on Joe Pokaski's page. Trying to figure out a solution. Hmm.--MiamiVolts (talk) 03:20, 19 December 2007 (EST)
- It's the pipes in Aron Coleite's name. Should work fine if Aron's listed last or if we remove the pipes.--Hardvice (talk) 03:22, 19 December 2007 (EST)
- Oh no wait. That was the problem before. Now it's that it's only stripping off [[PAGENAME]] while the field is actually populated with [[PAGENAME]] and [[Some Other Guy]]. Hmm. Maybe the template wasn't such a bad deal after all.--Hardvice (talk) 03:25, 19 December 2007 (EST)
