Talk:All Adult Stories

From Create Your Own Story

Revision as of 02:02, 25 March 2013

Just spent about five hours cleaning up this page. Yes, I can be a little OCD sometimes, lol.

Here are some suggestions for keeping it tidy and formatting new stories consistently:

• Titles should not be IN ALL CAPS. The first letter of each word Should Be Capitalized, unless it's a word like a, the, or, or to, except when it's the first word. Example: The Day the Earth Stood Still

• If you want to put something in parenthesis after your title, put it outside of the brackets so it doesn't become part of the link. Example: [[My New Boyfriend]] (Gay)

• When putting titles in alphabetical order, don't count words like A, An or The. So a story called The Beggar would go under B and A Sex Adventure would go under S.

• Also the Category page should have the same name as the title of the story. Capitalization counts! One exception to this is if you have a really long title, like How I Seduced My Teacher and Won the Lottery. You don't want to have to type that on every page you create, so an acronym would would better, like HISMTWL or something like that.

(P.S. I hope it was okay that I just jumped in and did this!) --Mokarran 00:18, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Bummer, the fancy code I'd used cause "too many expensive parser calls" or something like that, so I had to revert it. Maybe we could think about breaking it up into smaller pages, because not having to manually update the number of pages in each story would be cool. --Mokarran 00:31, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

On second thought, breaking it into smaller pages would be a lot of work for very little purpose. The fancy auto-update code is cool, but considering how many stories have not been worked on in months, if not years, it really doesn't matter if we have up-to-the-second updates on the number of pages. So forget my previous suggestion. A better idea would be to use the code on just the stories that are actually being worked on, and maybe even delete it from ones that haven't been worked on six months or more, just to clean up the page and make it faster. Then, if someone decides to work on an old story, they can add the code if they plan on sticking around. Just an idea. --Mokarran 02:02, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
