[edit] Novels only currently

as I understand it these are only his Novels. If we want to good beyond Novels the template should be renamed to deal with all his "Works". Something like {{OrsonScottCard}} as many other similar or {{Orson Scott Card works}}. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 08:56, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

You are absolutely right. When I started the template it was just for his novels. However as I began working on Card’s short story collections I decided to add them. I was tempted to use the “move” tab to change the name but since I put the template on the bottom of every novel, short story collection and short story Card wrote it would take me hours to change all the {{Novels by Orson Scott Card}} tags to {{Books by Orson Scott Card}}.

Ok I have the tools I'll do the work. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 10:12, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comics

Orson Scott Card is the writer for two prominent comic series, Ultimate Iron Man and its sequel, Ultimate Iron Man Volume 2. Should these be included in the template, since they are his works? I know the template is busy as it is, and I'm not sure if these would go into standalone works or their own category, but I think that they should be included, if possible.

This template is way too big as it is. Besides if I include Iron Man I would have to include Card's other comic book series. And then there is his nonfiction, his writing books, his plays etc. A line has to be drawn somewhere.Pmcalduff (talk) 01:17, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
