== Volumes == | == Volumes == | ||
Articles for manga volumes should always be at "[Name of series] volume [x]", even if the volume in question is one of the older [[VIZ Media]] titles where each volume has a name in addition to being numbered. | |||
===Opening sentence=== | |||
The opening sentence should always follow the same structure of "'''Volume X''' is the xth volume of the Whatever manga series created by whoever. If the volume has a title, as mentioned above, it should be included in the opening sentence. An example: | |||
'''Volume 1: A Party with Pikachu''' is the first of ten volumes of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga created by つきりのゆみ [[Yumi Tsukirino]]. | |||
If the article is about a [[Pokémon Adventures]] volume, the chapter arc which the volume is from should also be included. If the series is ongoing, it is not necessary to say "the first of x volumes". Just "the first volume" is sufficient. | |||
===Infobox=== | |||
The {{template|VolumePrevNext}} template is to be used at the top of the page for manga volumes. It should have all parameters filled if possible. English cover artwork by [[VIZ Media]] or [[Chuang Yi]] should be displayed if it is available (if both publishers have published the volume, VIZ Media's cover will be used), however, if this is not available or does not exist, the Japanese cover will be used instead. Japanese covers are preferred over other non-English language publications, such as in the case of [[Pokémon Get da ze!]]. | |||
In the case of the first seven volumes of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, where VIZ Media has published two different editions, the most recent edition's cover will be displayed. The old edition cover should still be included in the Publications information, however. | |||
===Publications=== | |||
The {{template|publications}} template should be used for cover artwork, publisher and ISBN information. The Japanese, [[VIZ Media]] (when applicable) and [[Chuang Yi]] (when applicable) information is essential and must be listed in that order. Information about international publications, such as in {{pmin|Germany}} or {{pmin|Italy}} or other countries, is welcome but not required. For ISBN numbers, ISBN-10 is preferred over ISBN-13 when available, however, ISBN-13 is acceptable when there is no other ISBN information. | |||
===Content=== | |||
Summaries are not neccessary for volume articles, this information belongs in the chapter articles. Volume articles should have a list of included chapters, which link to the appropriate pages. In addition, there should be a small point form list of major events in all chapters of the volume, i.e., "Protagonist beats Gym Leader", "Protagonist captures this Pokémon", etc. Finally, a list of party changes (additions, evolutions, etc) should be included when applicable. | |||
When a volume article contains a reasonable amount of the above content, it is no longer considered a stub. | |||
