We employ a similar setup to other tv first wikias (where the novels are not part of the same universe) and I have yet to see any scheme that works well. So while you make some good points about the naming convention, I would prefer if we stick with current simple scheme for now, introduce the changes above gradually and see where we stand when we have more content.


 * 1) I recommend that we start with: Book series page, as a landing page for the entire series, as you suggested. Named "The 100 (Book Series)" with redirect "The 100 (TV Series)" for the 100. At the very least, the quality synopsis at Wikipedia, can make this entry stand on its own, an improvment.
 * 2) Next create "Characters (Novel)" and "Locations (Novel)" using the similar structure to here i.e. provide a brief run down of all characters/locations and possible groups/locals.
 * 3) Evaluate whether between Book series plot overview and our individual book plot summaries, we need chapter summaries as well.. Don't get me wrong I would LOVE to have and read 36-144 paragraphs summary, but I wouldn't be surprised at MUCH less..

The German wikia thinks the following characters deserve their own pages: Lilly, Sasha, and Mary & David. They also have blank pages for Thalia and Graham. We can have redirects to any of our Novel characters, which will permit an easy split when enough content will be found.

I've never been fully on-board with episodes having both Summary and Plot sections. Especially when the Summary isn't actually a summary, it's the press release. My opinion is, if we want to include the official press release (or jacket description), the section should be named as such. A summary should summarize the entire episode (or novel), not be the company's teaser. That said, I do see the value of short summaries (e.g. the summaries Wikipedia puts in their episode guide), so readers can quickly get episode overviews without reading the detailed plot sections. Same here. Recently, when we worked on our Episode Guide, I was workign under the assumption that we would expand many of our offical one-line "summaries" with Wikipedia synopsis.

Anyway, those suppose to be called "Blurbs but the name is rarely used on wikis as far as I seen. And if we are to add Chapter Summaries, then I suggest to rename book sections to something like this:

Official Description/Synopsis/Blurb/Jacket Description
...

Plot Summary
