BOZ recently removed an addition to the Novels section that added the "Destinies" series to it. I believe that in that particular case he was wrong, but his overall comment that the section could use a good trimming was a valid one. I have therefore added the "Destinies" series back in, but have heavily trimmed the section from its current (with the "Destinies" addition) word count of 599, to what I believe is a solid but slim 341 words. I will be WP:BOLD and simply make the changes now, but figured I'd start a discussion in order to see if there are any further ideas. Vyselink (talk) Vyselink (talk) 23:58, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

I'm inclined to think that section could use a heavy trim, maybe just to Chronicles and Legends, probably also War of Souls and one or at most two more. Having lots of series listed there only encourages people to say "hey, what about this one?" when this should only be an overview of the absolute most important parts of the overall series. If people keep adding them here, then we may as well not have a list page because the whole list will be here. :) BOZ (talk) 00:41, 24 June 2025 (UTC)
I think the easiest cut off would be does the novel/series have its own article. If it is not notable enough to have a standalone article, then it probably doesn't need to be listed here. Sariel Xilo (talk) 01:57, 24 June 2025 (UTC)
Don’t need to list every novel, but highlighting the ones written by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman as the core of the series makes perfect sense. 2001:56B:3FE5:4E7E:F861:7992:2C39:CC2F (talk) 23:18, 24 June 2025 (UTC)
I'm just wondering if there is a policy-based method we can use to determine which articles should be on the shortlist of "core" novels. BOZ (talk) 04:22, 25 June 2025 (UTC)
Given that Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman launched the Dragonlance series and that virtually all subsequent novels build upon the foundation they created, any work authored by either--whether individually or together--deserves recognition as "core" or canonical. This consideration should naturally extend to collaborations involving either author, such as Margaret Weis’s partnership with her former husband, Don Perrin. Accordingly, Kang’s Regiment should rightfully be regarded as part of the core narrative. 2607:FEA8:4DA2:FA00:788E:8617:9ACF:8E4A (talk) 13:31, 25 June 2025 (UTC)
Right, but I'm wondering if there is any policy-based method we can use to determine which novels should be listed. BOZ (talk) 22:57, 25 June 2025 (UTC)
While there may not be an official policy per se, a logical framework could be built around authorial involvement. Works authored or co-authored by Weis and/or Hickman--who established the tone, themes, and core mythology of the setting--could serve as the baseline for what’s considered "core". Extending that logic, titles created in direct collaboration with them, like Kang’s Regiment, would naturally fall under the same umbrella. It’s not a formal policy, but it does offer a consistent, lore-respecting criterion. 67.224.104.58 (talk) 03:10, 26 June 2025 (UTC)

It has been a while since this article has been reviewed, so I took a look and noticed that there are lots of uncited statements, especially in the "Video games" section. Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 22:41, 28 September 2025 (UTC)
