:I spoke with [[User:Revanche|Revanche]] about this, and the reason for creating a new template for novels is that InfoBoxBook doesn't offer the best information. "Production Code", "Additional Writing", and "Product Development" aren't really useful, and novel's rarely have an illustrator, but rather a cover artist. In addition there's no chronological information, such as to what series the book belongs. Since there's a solid division between the novels and any "crunch" data (manuals, field books, etc.) it makes sense to create a new template. Revanche agreed. If you think it should be handled differently you should probably speak with him since he's the Admin. Thanks. --[[User:Ebakunin|Ebakunin]] 16:32, 4 August 2008 (CDT)

InfoBoxBook
