Template talk:The Dark Tower

message: Should we edit the box to break up characters into their respective affliations (like Roland's new ka-tet, old ka-tet, ka-tet of the rose etc.)?
:Oh yea, it would be nice too if we could a cleanup of the whole dark tower category of articles. And the box could do with some redesign. (I personally find the colour pretty weird.) Chuayw2000 10:56, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: It does seem more visually pleasing and easier to distinguish the sections for faster browsing. Could use • instead of |. Pomte 15:34, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Its based off a format numerous other templates have used. And, like Pomte said, it is more visually pleasing and easier to distinguish. I'll change the | to • under Pomte's suggestion.--CyberGhostface 20:00, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redesign 

message: Shouldn't there be links to articles for the major characters, notably Roland's new ka-tet at least? -- Angela 11:57, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There would be links if there were articles. They're all in one right now. — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 11:58, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's weird that people decided to write articles on these characters instead of the ka-tet. I think the articles for Rhea, Eldred, and possibly Modred and Farson are short and minor enough to be merged into List of characters from the Dark Tower series. Pomte 00:16, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there somewhere in the template we can work in Places in The Dark Tower series? --Mus Musculus 15:41, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I added it as a heading since it doesn't fall under Organization or Glossary. Fortunately there is an article that goes under it (Lud). The horizontal look doesn't detract from navigation, I think. Pomte 20:24, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Cool, that looks good.  I started a discussion on the main project talk page about what places need their own articles.  I was thinking Calla Bryn Sturgis would make a good one. --Mus Musculus 20:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Nay. Eddie makes reference to The Shining, but that doesn't mean The Shining's connected. If the book was related, King would have bolded it in the other titles.--CyberGhostface 01:38, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Addition 

message: I don't believe that Randall Flagg works for the Red. He is more of a loner. I suggest that he be moved to a different section, although I'm not sure where else he would fit.  GofG |||  Talk 22:34, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: He is someone who works to serve his own purpose, but he is affiliated with the Crimson King and (claims to, at least) serve the Red, so he would fit there.--CyberGhostface 19:48, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Randall Flagg 

message: This template lists him as so, but the Portal: The Dark Tower lists him only as an ally. Is he a true member? I believe that one should be changed so both the Portal and this Template match. Blackngold29 (talk) 18:21, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think he is ever explicitly stated as being part of the ka-tet, so I have moved him back down into "other characters". If I'm mistaken, please revert with soruce. –Pomte 02:19, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I always saw him as part of the ka-tet, and I also believe they say so several times. I remember Roland not being sure about whether the ka-tet would break if he died, as with Oy. However when [SPOILER!] Callahan dies they say that as it turned out he was just a temporary addition when "they needed one more", or something. Can't bother finding citations atm, but I'm pretty sure. Quispiam (talk) 03:43, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Callahan a True Member of the ka-tet?? 

message: I've only read the main series and a few of the related novels, so maybe I'm missing something, but Jericho Hill, while being the location of a significant event in Roland's life before the story, seems to me to not have been a major part of the 'actual' story. There is also not currently a page for the location. It seems to me it should be removed from the template. Any objections? BBrucker2 (talk) 20:04, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jericho Hill? 

message: A while ago, I added Just Past Sunset to the "related books" section of the template, only to have an anonymous user revert the edit. I don't want to start a war here, but I've re-added it to the template, seeing as how several stories in the collection are every bit as connected to The Dark Tower mythos as other works listed. --TimPendragon (talk) 02:27, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
