I've recently seen some large changes on the way the list of all novels and other media is displayed (including blanket deletion). Should it be listed in the infobox or redirected? New here so looking for guidance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Liquidm71 (talk • contribs) 00:58, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, thanks for the work involved in this draft, but I personally agree with the reviewer 2pou that a split-out article is not necessary, and redundant. Dune (franchise) itself is already the main page about the original series of six novels. Dune prequel series is split out as a derivative series of 15 novels that would be cumbersome within this main article. Same for Dune short stories. Thanks.— TAnthonyTalk15:23, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not familiar enough with Dune to do this, but can we please get all the books in one table on the main page, along with the name of the author, publication date etc? And we can divide the tables into different sections like "original series" and "prequel series", since that seems to be a thing in Dune. Thanks. 49.47.2.115 (talk) 14:58, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Prose is generally preferred to tables in articles. Also in this case, the franchise article is already very large and a table would take up a lot of space. That said, a standalone list of works might be useful since there are so many, and readers are accustomed to these sort of lists. Give me some time and I'll put something together. Thanks.— TAnthonyTalk15:27, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
