Talk:Naruto Uzumaki (volume)

Sandy Koufax
I've created articles for all the chapters in this volume to allow for some experimentation. Discontinue volume articles? Make volume articles into transclusion-centers? Cut out the chapter articles entirely and c&p the contents into the volume article, a la the Bleach wiki? It also provides an opportunity to decide upon other factors, such if and when to use images for chapters, whether volume exclusives are worth including anywhere, etc.

Depending upon how much hot action this gets, I may move it to a forum. ~SnapperTo 20:16, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well I was thinking once we got the chapter pages done we could remove:

The Tests of the Ninja (うずまきナルト!!, Uzumaki Naruto!!) is volume 1 of the Naruto manga. Chapters

01. Uzumaki Naruto! (うずまきナルト!!) 02. Konohamaru (木ノ葉丸!!) 03. Enter Sasuke! (うちはサスケ, Uchiha Sasuke) 04. Hatake Kakashi! (はたけカカシ!!) 05. Pride Goeth Before a Fall! (油断大敵!!, Yudan taiteki!!) 06. Not Sasuke! (サスケ君に限って…!!, Sasuke-kun ni kagitte...!!) 07. Kakashi's Decision (カカシの結論, Kakashi no ketsuron) from the articles and have that automatically generated from the chapter pages. Having the transclusions of summaries seems to be fine as well, though there may be some issues with patching them together so they are read fluently. - S im A nt 20:21, May 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * I encourage screwing around with this and related pages to see how things turn out. ~SnapperTo 20:47, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * In regards to images, I'd support inclusion of title pages that aren't part of the story. For example, yes to stuff like this and this, no to this. ~SnapperTo 02:22, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have been wanting to have individual chapter covers here for awhile. Hmm, what about those wider covers? - S im A nt 02:48, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * What do you mean? ~SnapperTo 17:06, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Stuff like File:Jinchūriki.jpg. Also, I think it may be better to not transclude the summaries from the chapters to the volumes... either it would require making a field inside the template for the text which could get messy, or maintaining the hundreds of chapters summary tags when people "accidently" break them. - S im A nt 20:27, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Two-page spreads like fine at the infobox default. Unless I'm missing something? ~SnapperTo 21:07, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just don't like the "lines" from stitching those together sometimes. - S im A nt 02:38, June 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * So, to review:
 * chapter transclusions in the volume article - don't bother.
 * chapter images - unrelated splash pages only (?).
 * volume extras (foreword, inserts, etc.) - no opinion.
 * the moon landing - fake.
 * Do the five people who have taken part in this discussion concur with these findings and/or have anything to add? I think that, for the chapter template, release dates would be impossible to add. W / SJ issue # maybe, but not date. ~SnapperTo 18:53, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * It may also be nice to add a translation of the text on the cover image below the image, since those sometimes provide interesting information. I'm not familiar with how W / SJ issue # works, but yah... release dates would get messy.  - S im A nt  19:59, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think cover text makes it into the volumes, so it might be difficult to find them for chapters 2XX-. ~SnapperTo 01:02, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm curious if there is still a good source for manga chapter covers available, or if we will have to make due with personal collection uploads and translated versions. - S im A nt 02:42, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * narutofan has RAWs up until 445, though I'm not sure about quality. I'd also guess the first few dozen chapters are from scanned volumes. ~SnapperTo 03:09, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Is there somewhere you are getting the summaries, or are you writing them up yourself (since there is no wikipedia link?). I would like to help make the articles as well. - S im A nt 19:08, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm writing them on the fly. Things would go a bit faster if I didn't need to create the article + do the infobox, so if you feel like it...
 * Also, I don't plan to do uncollected chapters until they are collected. So you can do anything after 483, or of course any other chapter; this will be a slow project if I do them all myself. ~SnapperTo 20:12, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
