All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIX

[robkelk]

How do we feel about infoboxes?  I've been thinking of adding them to more pages.

Pretty comfortable, myself. I've gotten pretty good at coding them, considering how many we use on the freebie wiki and the There's Nothing Better wiki.

Oh, you mean using infoboxes... 

Yeah, I can do some for ATT. What do we want to start with?

Let's start with books. The template in use on the wiki, and the template itself, including documentation so that other people can use it.

I'm pretty happy with the error-checking that I put into this infobox. If there's no title, the page title will be used instead. If there's no image, the image caption will not appear (and the page gets "Category: Pages Needing Images", too). If there's no franchise name given, the "Preceded by" and "Followed by" lines will not appear, even if somebody gives values for them. If "source page exists" is blank, the link to the Source subpage will not appear. And nobody needs to code any links in the infobox values, and every page that uses the infobox is added to "Category: Literature".

So... where did I get it wrong? What did I miss? I did toss this together in under an hour, after all.
