Talk:List of Dragonlance modules and sourcebooks

message: Let's not get sidetracked by all the moving of text.  Let's talk about how to make this a good page.  This page should have smaller summaries of each of its books, with links to any larger versions on other pages.  Since Dragonlance modules (DL series) is being made right now, we should figure out what this page should contain about each of those modules.  It looks like this page will have about 50 books, so I don't think we can include an infobox for each.  Haven't thought about it much, but we could do something like:
;DL1 Dragons of Despair
:Main article: Dragons of Despair
* Author: Tracy Hickman
* First published: 1984
* Character levels: 4 - 6
* Description: Dragons of Despair is the start of the first major story arc in the Dungeons & Dragons Dragonlance series of game modules.  It is one of the 14 Dragonlance adventures published by TSR between 1984 and 1986.
Basically we need to think what will fit when we multiply it by 50.  I don't think an image for everyone will fit nicely, maybe an image for every fifth entry.  I removed the image discussion and plot summary, since the image wouldn't be there, and if we give people a place to add summary, they'll make it too big.  Certain things like Rules required and Campaign setting don't change within the series, so we don't need it each time.  We can just mention it at the beginning of each larger section.  The whole page may be just one campaign setting, also, so that can be mentioned once at the top.  Whatever does change from module to module should be included, like year, code, and author.  Just some ideas to get things started. - Peregrine Fisher 23:20, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: They're all one campaign setting, Dragonlance.  I like keeping summary in there, as not everyone might want to page jump from this to the other page.  I agree on images.  Character level I find to be a bit of extraneous information, and it's hard to find anyway, so I recommend keeping it out.  DoomsDay349 23:57, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds good.  We can just copy what Dragonlance modules (DL series) says, while removing a few things like cover art description.  Although the cover info for DL4 is pretty interesting and maybe should be included. - Peregrine Fisher 00:57, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As stated before my main interest at this time with dragonlance is on Dragonlance modules (DL series) article at this time. However my one comment on this is to select the images used carefully rather than just a random selection. Try to include any particularly noteable covers whether they be because of what/who is shown on it, or an example of a noteable/new layout/style/logo etc. - Waza 03:58, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I have just added in the Dragonlance Adventure's sourcebook (arguably the first sourcebook ever if you don't count DL5) and I found difficulty finding the appropriate place to include the ISBN. Could there be a standard place to include this as it is valuable information for anyone trying to track doen a copy of a book they are looking for. On a normal article it would be in the reference section but on such as long list as this if every book is listed as a reference then the reference list will be far too long. - Waza 23:26, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: We can add ISBN as a parameter for the listings.  It's a good idea.  DoomsDay349 23:27, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Let's talk about this page 

message: I've cut down the lead a good bit, because most of it was concerning other stuff.  What do we need to include in the lead?  Is one sentence really enough?  In addition, what do we need to have starting each section header, if anything? DoomsDay349 18:23, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Dragonlance_modules_(DL_series)#Early_History has some text that should probably go in the lead.  Then a ref saying the modules (and maybe novels) drove TSR to create a whole campaign setting with lots of books would be good, if it exists. - Peregrine Fisher 18:31, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't know where to find such a ref, so I don't know about that.  But I'll go for the other section.  DoomsDay349 18:37, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, one we already have says something like that, see here. - Peregrine Fisher 18:52, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not entirely sure what's it trying to say, so if you could add in where you feel it's appropriate that would be great.  DoomsDay349 21:05, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Outside of the DL series, neither of the Dragonlance modules or sourcebooks is sufficiently independently notable to justify its own article. As such, the following articles should be merged here: Dragonlance Classics, Dragon Dawn, Dragon Keep, Dragon Magic (module), In Search of Dragons and Otherlands.
