Proposal
[edit]Just an idea but I think it would be a good idea to include the covers for books in the book template. Like so:
| |

| Page Count: | 351 |
| ISBN: | ISBN 0399214240 |
| ISBN-13: | ISBN 9780399214240 |
| Chronological Order: | 9 |
| Publication Order: | 1 |

- Looks good. Implement it. You could do it with the DVD template too. --LordTBT File:Tbtico.jpg Talk! 16:10, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, I've implemented it, and moved the images for the first eight books. I'll go change the DVD one now. One more thing - could I suggest that the template be widened to 300px, so as to be the same width as the box ads, seen bu readers.

- Looks good, I modified it further to have the image caption appear as a tooltip. I don't want to modify the template width yet, there may be a way to force the banners...there used to be anyway. --LordTBT File:Tbtico.jpg Talk! 04:33, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
Okay, good. What fields do you want for the DVD template, it wouldn't be usimage and ukimage would it?

- Well you could name the variables anything you want (image1, image2, etc) and then see if they exist. Then if they do, include them in the template. DVD pages seem to have a front cover, a front and back cover, and/or a front, back, and sheath image. --LordTBT File:Tbtico.jpg Talk! 04:44, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
