***Alright. Thanks! [[Book Cover Gallery]]
==References==
On the site [http://home.iprimus.com.au/asr/hobb/index.html Trader Bay. An unofficial Robin Hobb page by Adam Rosser.] (with (incomplete) Character List and Timeline), a reference system is used for the Timeline. For example: "I.1" for Book I chapter 1. Maybe we can use a similar system to refer to the books of Robin Hobb. For example: "''FT'' I 1." for ''The Farseer trilogy'' Book I chapter 1.

: Yes, we could do references by book and chapter. Another option is to build a timeline (or probably several) with a tool like [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/EasyTimeline this]. As I've tried to keep the articles free from references to the books, I'd prefer a timeline system, but I'm always willing to hear other opinions. Timelines might be more difficult build, I think we'd need to figure out some kind of "x years after Fitz was born" or "so-and-so's reign" system. Referencing to books on the other hand makes reading the article more messy - in my opinion. [[User:Mervi|Mervi]] 02:41, 17 May 2006 (EEST)
:: I've created a timeline (not with EasyTimeline, because it doesn't seem to work on this wiki) on my [[User:Evil berry|Userpage]]. It's only a rough sketch, but it gives an impression of how a timeline could be. [[User:Evil berry|Evil berry]] 20:53, 19 May 2006 (EEST)
::: It doesn't work because I haven't installed it yet. :) The one you've started looks like a good listing, but it doesn't show things like the fact that most of the stuff listed towards the end are within Shrewd's reign etc. I'll see if I can install EasyTime tomorrow or later this week so you can experiment with it if you want to. :) [[User:Mervi|Mervi]] 22:03, 21 May 2006 (EEST)
:::: Ouch. I took a closer look at the extension and it isn't as easy to install as I thought it would be. I'm going to have to postpone even trying to do that though, because I want to first update the script to the latest version. Sorry for the delay, I'll get there eventually, I promise!

==Templates==
For a long time I have planned to "open" this wiki to other Hobb stories besides the RotE ones. I figured that the best way the script allows us to do this, is to use little boxes that are really templates to mark all the articles depending on which fictional universe they belong. I have made some drafts for those and added the RotE one to the [[Fitz]] article for example - please let me know what you think. The idea is that the template can be altered at any point without having to go through hundreds of pages making the same change (of course the template has to be added to those pages first though! :D) So it doesn't matter if we've used the template already to mark articles and then want to change something in it. Anyway, it would be good to hear everyone's thoughts about this. -- [[User:Mervi|Mervi]] 03:24, 19 January 2008 (EET)
