Template:Comicstory/doc

Jump to navigationJump to search

Note that all of these (except the self-explanatory Everything) are just examples which MAY be relevant for any given issue or story. However, all credits should reflect those used in the issue. In other words, if someone is credited as "colourist", you shouldn't use "colors", and so on. If the specific credit used isn't available, feel free to add it to the template.

Non-story[edit source]

If the page is for a whole magazine, then the individual stories should be given individual {{comicstory}} templates. However, there may be additional credits (e.g., editorial) not associated with any single story, and these (along with the cover) should be included in a {{comicstory}} at the top of the page. Some relevant credits for this may be:

{{comicstory
|seriesissue=
|prev=(previous issue)
|next=(following issue)
|image=(cover image)
|caption=

|publisher=
|imprint=
