"The" in book titles and indexing

About article headings and book names: I think we should do them in the library way (hey I work in one!). It means that The Golden Fool would be "Golden Fool, the", putting the article to be seen in the end, but allowing you to alphabetise (is that a word?) the book into the G instead of T. If you alphabetise (in Finnish aakkostat) books with the article in the beginning, T would be a one too large category. Hope you understand what I'm saying here?

You're absolutely right. I'll go and change them on the trilogy pages and make redirects. Thanks for your input. :) --Mervi 16:11, 26 April 2006 (EEST)

Doing this is possible by writing [[Category:Books|Golden Fool, the]] instead of [[Category:Books]]. This helps keeping the correct title without making a redirection. This makes the wiki more useable, I think. Frór 13:37, 29 October 2006 (EET)

One category/ manycategories

Should we have subcategories for the different trilogies and series? --Mervi 18:19, 28 April 2006 (EEST)

I just realized that "books" is not going to be a good/decrptive name for this category if we continue as we have started (we add to it short stories and the anthologies and magazines they were published in). Any suggestions? --Mervi 20:02, 5 June 2007 (EEST)

Works? Sini

Yeah, or I was thinking about "writings", or better yet, "publications". I guess it would be too complicated to make subcategories like magazines, anthologies etc? --Mervi 01:22, 16 June 2007 (EEST)

How about if we divide this to subcategories, for example:

• top-level (can't decide on the name...)
  • books (anything between two covers, whether it's by Hobb or not)
  • stories (individual tales)
  • writings (articles, essays etc by Hobb)

I don't know it this sounds too complicated... it would mean that certain articles now labeled only as books would be included in at least two subcategories. For example:

• Fair Folk, the -> books
• Grace Notes -> stories
• Fool's Errand -> books and stories
