Talk:Chapter 6 (Sasuke Retsuden)

decimal
Viz's website refers to this as chapter 6.1 and the Japanese designation is chapter 6 part 1 (第6話 前編). So obviously the next release will be a second chapter 6. I don't know how we'll want to handle that. The infobox doesn't seem to work with decimals, so that wouldn't be an option. If we want to make a different article for each part we could try labeling both as chapter 6 in the infobox, though I'm not sure if that will work as desired. Another option would be to include the second part in this article and note the split release somewhere. ~SnapperTo 22:55, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Weird, mangaplus only shows it as chapter 6 for me, shonenjumpplus with the raw also seems to list it just as chapter 6 for me. Maybe something with tabs, like what was done with the Zetsu article. Still hoping these examples are correct and Viz is incorrect. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 06:40, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I copied the Japanese in my first comment from the sjp website. Maybe you're not looking in the right spot? It's also present on the first page of the raw, beneath the Retsuden logo.
 * The main concern is the infobox since smw doesn't seem to accept decimals. Zetsu tabs two separate articles, so doing that here wouldn't entirely avoid the infobox problem. The tabs could instead by embedded in this one page, but I foresee that causing issues for transclusion into the tankobon article in the future.
 * I think the least hassle would be structuring this article as:

Summary
summary
 * Part 1

summary
 * Part 2

Trivia

 * The second part of this chapter was released on Japanese release::January 15, 2023.

 * Found it. Yeah, I think that splitting the summaries like that is the way to go, since it doesn't appear to require any significant code fixes. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:29, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I know the decimal thing is an issue here but the latest chapter is referred to as "Chapter 6: Part 2". Couldn't we just do the same thing we did for the 700+ chapters? I don’t see why these can’t be an alternative rather than cramming it all in one page. I’m sure you guys can come up with a better solution than this. No point, I’m not going to get anywhere with this. OmegaRasengan (talk) 15:30, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Just to try and explain all the options: The navigation system only accepts numbers. Since we can't use decimals to distinguish between the two, the system has no way of telling the difference between one chapter 6 and the second chapter 6. We could refer to the second chapter 6 as chapter 7, except that would be incorrect.
 * The Gaiden chapter example wouldn't work here because that number formatting exists in appearance only; the system itself only knows of chapter 701, not 700+1. I suppose we could try making some kind of instruction where any Sasuke Retsuden chapter with a value greater than 7 has its value displayed as 1 less than it is, but that's a needlessly complicated workaround with very limited utility that potentially would need to have another display instruction tacked on if there's another split chapter in the future. Like, where any Sasuke Retsuden chapter between the values of 7 and 9 has 1 subtracted from its value, chapter 10 has its value subtracted by 2, and chapters 11+ are subtracted by 3.
 * The trivia point shouldn't be seen as some inferior alternative. I mean, it works for the One-Punch Man wiki, so I don't know why it can't work here too. ~SnapperTo 16:37, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
