Using 'Book List'

Any opinions on using [:Template:Book List]? I suppose it would turn things somewhat like this:

Title	Publisher	Date	Chapbook
To Cut an Edge	SRM Publisher	?	Two Tales of Korval (#1)
Val Con meets Edger
Agent of Change	Del Rey	1988	extra stuff
Val Con meets Miri and they rock on and take over Terra!
Conflict of Honors	Del Rey	1988	extra stuff
Priscilla meets Shan and we meet the Dutiful Passage!

etc.?

I wish I'd noticed this template when I redid Phil's short story table, but it's not too late to change... On the other hand, not much in Wikipedia uses it and I'm not sure it's the best look. perhaps it could use some enhancement from our experiences... thoughts? jhawkinson (talk) 05:05, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's all right as-is—though I would suggest going back in and adding another column on the right to show what stories are in Unibuses 1, 2, or none. I'd do it myself, but I'm not terribly well-versed with wiki tables.

New Table?

Could someone who is more familiar with the series please make one all encompassing table that includes novels, omnibus', short stories, etc., etc., etc...
...in the INTERNAL CHRONOLOGY order, much like the one that's JUST for the novels?
Thanks.

Update chart for "Liaden Universe Constellation"?

The Liaden Universe Constellation vol. 1 is out, and contains all the stories from Chapbooks 1-8, plus "Calamity's Child".

http://www.baenebooks.com/p-1896-a-liaden-universe-constellation.aspx

My wiki chart-fu is not what I'd like it to be. The short story table is going to need another column, and it's possible another way to render the "Liaden Universe Companion" volume besides "LUC" might need to be found to avoid confusion with Liaden Universe Constellation. Could someone more wiki-skilled handle this? —Robotech_Master (talk) 02:59, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Updates for 2016

I’m going to try and bring a few updates to the Liaden universe page on Wikipedia.

I’ve started by added the upcoming Alliance of Equals as “scheduled for publication in June 2016” in the sequence tables in the Novels section.

I plan no major changes, just to bring as much up to date as I am able, as the page has been useful to me as I’ve explored the books and stories over the last several years.

If you have ideas or suggestions, or would like to contribute to the effort, please comment below.

I have now reorganized the novels and updated their links. I've removed some dead links in the compilations table.

I created and added a table to show the timeline of the novels. I created this in html and will endeavor to keep it updated. If you see the need to correct/enhance/change the table and don't feel comfortable in editing the html, contact me and I'll either make the changes or help you to do it.

updates needed (maybe)

Short stories table updated as of January 2021.
Information regarding released novels up to date as of January 2021.
New characters: I think we are mostly up to date with *major* characters.
- New characters from Necessity's Child: Rys Lin pen'Chala, Kezzi, various Bedel.
- Maybe just refer people to the Liaden wiki.

July 2024 updates

I've attempted to bring things up to date as of Diviner's Bow.
Brief mention of impact of co-author's death.

Appropriate for Wikipedia?

I'm not sure of the scope of this article is completely Wikipedia appropriate. It might be better to move the information targeted towards a fan audience out to a fandom wiki/other site, and keep basic information, series chronology, and media coverage here. The authors look to be notable and I see books in this universe have been nominated for/won awards so there may be reliable sources covering the series. Editors might want to have a look at the Dune series page for a appropriate coverage example of things like in-universe chronology, publication information, and series influences.
