Until Publisher space is cleaned up (whether 2009 or 2015) I don't think a header template that requires a database record number input is appropriate for 'all Publisher pages. Especially the new ones, and the questionable ones where we do expect a merge someday. Maybe you can pick and choose the big players that have already settled down. The ones with numbers 1-100 probably, and anything you would call a 'Major SF Publisher'. Baen, Tor, Ace - the ones on the old html Publishers list on the front page of the ISFDB. For the rest of them, I don't think it's worth the effort and time. A simple 'Apply Publisher Category' template is all this actually needs. If you want to make a simple header template, that also inserts the category, I'll be happy to use it moving forward, but honestly, even those don't tuely need a header. I just wanted to make them easy to browse through, and a category does that all on its own. Kevin 04:15, 31 August 2008 (UTC)


How about we save this template for 'Major SF Publishers' (A category I created but haven't populated yet). And just use categories on plane jane publishers. Thoughts? Kevin 04:15, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
