Talk:Kurt Busiek's Astro City Vol.1 No.1

Did we ever decide what would best be used for issue page titles? This is what we used before the crash. I liked the fact that we created an Order of Publication as well as just the category page, but wonder if a full title or story title would work better?
I played around with it a little, but we can't use the # sign in a page title. It would have to be something like Kurt Busiek's Astro City Issue number 1, Kurt Busiek's Astro City Vol. 1 issue 1, keep using 1:1 or go by story titles.
I'd favor getting the issue title as much as can be. The publication/issue section, would to me seem to be one of the more searched/used areas for users. I like the idea of using the story titles as page titles, but would seem more confusing for someone searching for an issue in particular....

I tried playing around a bit more and seeing what the later versions would look like, vol. 2 and the current series namely, the others(dark age, local heroes and specials) I don't think would look bad short hand. But still don't know what would look best on a page and on the publications page.
Kurt Busiek's Astro City 1> Kurt Busiek's Astro City Issue 1>Kurt Busiek's Astro City Number 1>Kurt Busiek's Astro City (Vol. 1) 1> Kurt Busiek's Astro City (Vol. 1) Issue 1

Kurt Busiek's Astro City (Vol. 2) 1> Kurt Busiek's Astro City (Vol. 2) Issue 1> Kurt Busiek's Astro City (Vol. 2) Number 1

Astro City 1 > Astro City Issue 1> Astro City Number 1> Astro City (Vol. 3) 1> Astro City (Vol. 3) Issue 1> Astro City (Vol. 3) Number 3

I like the idea of using the story titles as the issue pages, but not sure if that's the most reader/user friendly, if say they were looking at the category page. With all of the issues on it, even with having an order of publication option again, when they're trying to find a certain issue...Or am I just overthinking?

Hmmm. That could be resolved by creating a page dedicated to listing the issues, separate from the Category page. For example, from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer wiki -- http://buffy.wikia.com/wiki/Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer_Season_Eight. (Scroll down to Publications.)

Using story title or using issue title/number each has its own strengths and weaknesses. Fortunately, with redirects and links, we don't have to stick with just one method all across the Wiki. --Yiding (talk) 01:55, 25 September 2013 (PDT)
