==Book Chapter vs Page numbers== | |||
I have a huge thing I wanna suggest. But its one of those things that really does need to be discussed cause its started to become a problem of recent years. That problem is the rising popularity in Digital media. That even some Halo Books start off as Digital media. | |||
Now why is this a problem you ask. Well it causes hell on the whole system we have where we say the Book name, then say the page it is on. As numerous formats might have some chapters being on radically different pages. | |||
Now I propose this possible method to change how we source a book. Throwing out the old method of page numbers on their own. We say the Book/Novella name as normal, but now we say the chapter instead. This ensures no matter what users can still find content if they wish. And in brackets we put the format used and the page in that format the item was found on. | |||
For example if I was wanting to source a SMAC in Halo the fall of reach 2001 paperback edition. I would put the following down. | |||
'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''' ''-Chapter 33 (Physical paperback - Page 256'') | |||
Like I did start to notice some folks were going though our sources and going, "I cant find it". Meaning something needs to be done.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 10:48, 2 March 2017 (EST) | |||
