Template talk:ArchieComics

I think that the Template should change back from having the comics listed by dates. The eras in the comic usually are referred to by the milestone issues, like 1-25, 25-50, etc. rather than by the years they came out, plus it looks much better and takes up less space.

Story names

Is adding in all those story names to the template necessary in any way? --BSonirachi (talk) 16:12, 7 July 2018 (CDT)

Yes, seems a bit of a waste of time, given that there's more than one story per comic. All it does is make this massive template even more massive.

I would be tempted to take some design cues from our Omni templates and make things both more compact and more "visual"

e.g.

60px 60px 60px 60px 60px

Or maybe get some (working) DPL involved on the main Archie comics page and dump this noise there. It would be a good excuse for someone to go out hunting for covers, although might start getting problematic when PDFs arrive.

At the very least, text-align: center; -Black Squirrel (talk) 13:39, 9 July 2018 (CDT)

So I guess I should undo the most recent edit? --BSonirachi (talk) 19:51, 9 July 2018 (CDT)

Brain hurts

I have uploaded the first 200 covers of Archie Sonic. I haven't the heart to do the rest - it gets a bit messy with the digital versions and alternative covers that have become all the rage in the last 10 years.

Similarly I've uploaded all the remaining STCs up to 165 (and am about the search for the remaining 8) - I'm going to leave the page making to someone else because it's tedious and I need to grow back some brain cells. Everything else is also up for grabs -Black Squirrel (talk) 14:10, 24 September 2019 (EDT)

Isn't there an automated process that you are using to make all of those pages, because I'm seeing the new pages pop up within seconds of each other. --BSonirachi (talk) 14:40, 24 September 2019 (EDT)

Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V ;) -Black Squirrel (talk) 14:46, 24 September 2019 (EDT)

I can hit you up with the remaining pages for StC, as I've organised a little template to get things rolling for them (like what I did for the Sonic Adventure story arc issues). I would actually fill these pages myself with story synopses, but that's way too much of a task for just one person. --BSonirachi (talk) 14:52, 24 September 2019 (EDT)

Translations

Time to get messy.

In France there are two "Les Origines" books and at least seven others by Delcourt Jeunesse. Sonic X might have been translated as well. There's also at least one IDW book.

In Germany there are at least 9 (relatively recent) issues of Sonic the Hedgehog by Panini Comics and a "Sonderband 1" collection. There's also a magazine, also by Panini, also featuring Archie Comics content, also called Sonic the Hedgehog.

There could be quite a bit in Portugal.

Early Archie comics were released in Brazil. I might go find them -Black Squirrel (talk) 15:03, 26 September 2019 (EDT)
