[edit] Media type
The creator of the template highlighted to me that the guidance for this included "anthology" as an option for this field. However "Anthology" is a statement of type of collection, not media for delivery. "Anthology" is a type of collection which can be delivered, via a number of media types. Print or Online, although usually print and usually in book form. We doo need to be clear what is what when we use fields. If we need to use the designation " anthology" that would more naturally go in a qualification to the "released_in" i.e. "[[Sample title]] (short story collection)" or "[[Sample title]] (short story anthology)". Or maybe we need a new field for this information, it just isn't a media-type. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 08:55, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- That does make sense, actually - I added a new field for this information, called "publication_type". both pieces of information are useful, so I thought we should include both in this infobox. Let me know what you think! -Elizabennet | talk 20:50, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
