On my story, 10 days to live, it only shows one page in the {{PAGESINCAT:TDTL}} I checked and there are two pages, this could have something to do with the reason you had to separate it in the first place... This is what it says here "4", so I think I am probably right about the reason... --PrincessKittens (talk) 03:22, 14 January 2022 (CET)

PAGESINCAT doesn't update instantly. Sometimes it takes a while. You can force it to update by editing it, but that would defeat the purpose of using it instead of updating the number of pages manually. At some point I really need to go through and find all of the traditional stories and change them from using PAGESINCAT to a static number as they definitely don't need a dynamic pagecount. --Elerneron (talk) 04:47, 14 January 2022 (CET)


Ok --PrincessKittens (talk) 04:57, 14 January 2022 (CET)

I have just noticed how Alessa is putting pretty pictures in the list. I don't object to the picture per se just the amount of space they take up. I would prefer to stick to the traditional brief summary. --Hope (talk) 17:15, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

I didn't want to say anything but I agree.

If images are a must for Alessa, maybe they can create their own category?

Since all of their stories fall into the "yuri" category, relocating everything to a page titled "Alessa's story archive" could be beneficial.

The main page wouldn't be cluttered and Alessa could even provide a synopsis alongside the images and story codes. --MrPib (talk) 19:13, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I have noticed this but haven't brought it up with Elerneron yet. I did just do a little test and changed all the images so they're left aligned and the text is wrapped. It does look much cleaner this way. I'll run with that and adjust the other images later. That makes the page much less cluttered but still keeps the image for now. I probably will bring this up with Elerneron once I finish that. --Hgcollins (talk) 10:24, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

It wasn't my intention to add images, but I noticed that Emily had an image for her story 'The Last Horcrux', so I thought it was acceptable. A yuri category sounds fine to me, or even separating straight stories from lesbian stories, although it would require other authors to relocate their lesbian stories to the new category, or someone would have to do it for them. --Alessa (talk) 12:02, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

I would also support a separate Yuri category, especially since there are a plenty of stories already that could be migrated there. "Straight and lesbian" stories could be renamed to "straight loli and shota" instead, for example. -- Innocent Ruin (talk) 15:31, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

That would make the categories much cleaner, though that is a considerable amount of reorganization. But my biggest concern is how it would fit on the homepage. --Hgcollins (talk) 02:19, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Okay, after thinking about it for like a second, the letters on the homepage have been too squished for the longest time. So splitting everything into 2 rows would be way better. But organization-wise, this is a huge project. But Innocent Ruin’s does kind of make sense as everything right now just ends up getting thrown into meta just because it happens to have both genders when it makes more sense in a “straight stories” section. Whatever we do, let’s make sure that it makes it easier for us all to find things we want to read.

The biggest hurdle by far is that the categories are based off of the current organization. --Hgcollins (talk) 02:28, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
