Seeing the list of books mentioned here, I'm going to suggest another thing from the German Wiki: A namespace for books. i.e. '''Book:The Colour of Magic''' So you can still make a page telling you that ''The Colour of Magic is octarine'' or ''Mort is the name of Death's...'' --[[User:Death|Death]] 09:50, 5 Aug 2005 (CEST)

:I think the only exception is Mort, who is both a Character and a Book. It's not as if words are automatically linked just because there's a page with that title, so that doesn't really pose a problem.

While talking about books: A template for things that should be mentionend when describing a book might be usefull. They could be used to create a new book page by writing <nowiki>{{subst:book}}</nowiki> and saving the page. That would give you an empty layout where you just have to fill in the details and book pages would look similar. (I better move this to somewhere else) --[[User:Death|Death]] 17:12, 5 Aug 2005 (CEST)

Seeing the list of books mentioned here, I'm going to suggest another thing from the German Wiki: A namespace for books. i.e. Book:The Colour of Magic So you can still make a page telling you that The Colour of Magic is octarine or Mort is the name of Death's... --Death 09:50, 5 Aug 2005 (CEST)

I think the only exception is Mort, who is both a Character and a Book. It's not as if words are automatically linked just because there's a page with that title, so that doesn't really pose a problem.
Well, that's not the main reason for an own namespace, just an additional pro. I'd also suggest Game:. --Death 17:06, 5 Aug 2005 (CEST)
