not a committee post: misc template links

[aethel]

The vid template is now in use if anyone wants to try it out.

So many new zine templates are now in use that I created a guide to go with them.

Another fanwork template idea: Since vids get their own template, why not fanfiction? Any other fields to add to this one?

Amy wrote a nifty timeline help page for creating your own timeline template, like the graph on the Timeline_of_Slashed_Sources page.

Re: Podfic template?

Well, I'm not saying it is not a fanwork, fanart illustrating the story is its own fanwork too, and still bundled on story pages. You can link to sections on pages just as well as to pages, so linking to the podfic section directly on a story page is no problem.

I'm not against having a template as such, as that I'd like it better if the guidline was to bundle such clusters of fanworks in one article unless it was becoming really huge, rather than splitting off the cover, the podfic, the fanmix, the illustration, the trailer and so on and so forth, each in its own tiny article. We could still put the technical detail about the podfic in some template box, like how on wikipedia there are sometimes two boxes on one page.

Having two templates on one page also sounds great! I just found this List of Merlin Podfics frogspace has made - everything is on the story pages and articles like Quickening Days, where half the page is about the podfic, could easily be broken into sections. I agree it would be silly to have half a dozen tiny articles about one cluster, but I don't think that's very likely to happen. As long as people feel free to create podfic pages when they really do deserve a separate one, like those two epic collaborations linked above, it's all good.
