Template talk:Discworld

remove headings for 'illustrated' and 'young adult'
While it is true that some books have been illustrated, and others have been classified as young adult, I don't think these distinctions are large enough to justify the extra space (mostly white) that they require in the template (and every page the template is on). Perhaps on this template, these books can be merged into the general list? The Gomm 23:41, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree and have made it so, and I've added the short stories.Eldestone 11:40, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Template:Discworld books → Template:Discworld – Template covers the whole Discworld universe, not just the books, so a move to a less specific title seems appropriate. Rob Sinden (talk) 09:10, 15 September 2015 (UTC) --Relisted. Natg 19 (talk) 16:38, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment this is the result of a wrong-way merger in 2009. I don't see why it was ever done that way. They should have merged the two to the requested destination instead of this template. -- 70.51.202.113 (talk) 05:55, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Same reason as when I declined the speedy. A move would require a history swap and addition of a copied template, and for what benefit? The template title is perfectly fine as it is. Jenks24 (talk) 10:27, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
 * That's no reason to oppose. That's just a technicality - we can WP:HISTMERGE.  WP:PRECISE is the benefit.  --Rob Sinden (talk) 07:52, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * We can't histmerge because it was a text merge, not a cut-and-paste move between the two. Jenks24 (talk) 03:53, 9 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Support, per nom. Randy Kryn 14:45, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Added one entry - Lie-to-children
I've added an entry for Lie-to-children, first introduced as a phrase in The Science of Discworld.

Races and Creatures
Sorry to be a bother, but should the Discworld template have so many entries for 'Races and Creatures'? The only one that refers to an individual article is 'Nac Mac Feegle', while all others link to Discworld (world). Also, while Dragons, Dwarfs, Elves, Orcs, Goblins, Igors etc. all have Discworld books centred around them, Centaurs, Fauns, Gnolls, Gorgons, and Kvetch are all only briefly mentioned as one-off jokes; we never actually encounter a named character from one of these races. (I am working from the Discworld & Pratchett Wiki here). Doesn't having all of these ephemeral references confuse the Template, especially when the article they link to doesn't mention them?
