Template talk:Blood: The Last Vampire

Blood series[edit]

It seems that generally templates like this one include everything related to the subject at hand, so I was surprised to find that Blood: The Last Vampire and Blood: The Last Vampire (2009 film) were nowhere to be found. Since they are both a part of this franchise, I think it would be appropriate to move this template to something like Template:Blood series, with one section for Blood+ and one for the films. If there are any objections, please let me know. tk tk tk 01:37, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there are objections. Its been discussed before and consensus agreed that they are separate, if mildly related, franchises. Blood TLV has no template as it has only two articles. Blood+ has a template as it has more interrelated articles. Production I.G itself treats them as separate as well. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 01:51, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Thanks for your input. tk tk tk 03:54, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I wouldn't be against doing something like "Related (The Last Vampire • The Last Vampire (live-action film))"... I think B+ and TLV are closely related enough that this would be fine. 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 18:09, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds good, actually. It looks like based on the previous discussion that Eruhildo liked that idea as well. How does something like this look? tk tk tk 06:22, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not entirely sure about having separate rows with such a small template, but doubled parenthesis don't look too good either... All in all, I prefer your version, then. 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 00:41, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The other option would be to append

{{•}}Related: ''[[Blood: The Last Vampire|The Last Vampire]]''{{·}} ''[[Blood: The Last Vampire (2009 film)|The Last Vampire]]'' <small>(live-action film)</small>

to the end of the first line—this is done on 4 other templates, as opposed to Related () which is only used on 3 templates. G.A.S ^talk 09:31, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, this os one formatting issue we never really discussed - I've mostly just been going with whatever looked "best" at the time, but I think the unparenthesized method is fine when there's only one or two "related" links, as there is here. 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 18:10, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Methinks it is much better now. :) G.A.S ^talk 04:55, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Moved[edit]

Renamed the Blood+ template to Blood: The Last Vampire and edited accordingly as the first movie is the original and main item of the franchise, and Blood+ is not the only anime series on it anymore. ^talk 23:24, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
