Template talk:Volume Box

Covers
Like many other wikis we could also put the internal cover in the wiki pages of the individual volumes.

Major edit
I have several suggestions for this template design:
 * 1) Would anyone be against moving the English info to a collapsible section like the Episode Box?
 * 2) Would anyone be against Including the Digitally Colored Manga release date?
 * 3) Would anyone be against using "Which___Date" templates for the release date of the Japanese, English, and possibly the colored version?
 * 4) *I already made lists on my sandbox: Japanese, English, Colored
 * 5) *Does anyone know where the colored English version release dates can be found?

 * 1) No objections.
 * 2) No objections.
 * 3) No objections to Japanese and English, but color may be overdoing it.
 * 4) Colored version is basically the normal black-and-white with added aesthetic purposes, like the magazine version of a chapter being re-released into a tankobon version.
 * 5) I did not know VIZ is even officially translating the color versions.


 * 1) Pending other comments, I'm on it.
 * 2) Okay.
 * 3) If you are in favor of including the colored version, why not have a template for it?
 * 4) They have a separate box on the shueisha site, so why not here?
 * 5) So are all the English colored manga is fan-made?

 * 1) Seems fine. You could add the English volume page count too as it can differ from the original.
 * 2) I'm not sure about this. Did you know that the digital release date of a volume is different from the physical release date? For example, Volume 97 still hasn't been released digitally. If we include the digital colored release date, what about the regular digital release date?
 * 3) The templates are missing the references. The digital colored manga is not officially released in English.


 * 1) Should I add an EngVolume Pages template?
 * 2) Are you suggesting to add digital release date or to not include the colored version?
 * 3) Thanks, I'm on it. And the English colored version dates won't be added.

 * 1) I guess that would make sense.
 * 2) Either is fine; Add both dates or add none. In any case, all dates should be found easily on books.shueisha.co.jp.

Okay. I think I'm mostly done. I still need to go over every volume page to check, but before that, I did a test run on Volume 4. Can any one see something that needs attention before I go over the rest of the volumes? Rhavkin (talk) 19:15, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Oh so it was you who changed the volume box template. It looks fine and cleaner, I do have one thing that can be changed, people do need to see when the next english volume is released and having to uncollapse the english infomation can be a bit cumbersome for any new users, and also people with limited hand mobility, to the site and need see it as quickly as possible. Also those references do need to be fixed (hopefully by a bot), otherwise good job on the newer volume box template. Dragonquiz (talk) 20:31, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

English is a collapsible section is how the episode box is designed, and that is what I designed the new layout. Why should the English volumes be more accessible then the Episodes? As for the reference, do you have a suggestion? Rhavkin (talk) 21:12, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Good point. The references should be where they were before the change, which was where the date is, but since that is now in a template I guess they can go where you did the test for vol 4 Dragonquiz (talk) 00:12, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
