Talk:List of Star Trek: The Original Series Slash Zines

This is an awesome list, but (I know, I know), it would be even cooler if the dates were added from the database. I don't know how to make wiki tables, but I see that rache has made one here so I know it's possible...

Oh, that is so cool - I was looking for a way to make tables and didn't see one. I'll check it out, thanks!--Mary Crawford 16:30, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Okay, how's that? :-) I'm going to make individual zine pages for a bit, but eventually we can pull all the dates and publishers into the main table.--Mary Crawford 16:49, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Dude, this page is so hot. And you are awesome.--Nestra 21:56, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! I want to add that I think the Legacy zine editors who put all this information together are beyond awesome, and I'm just doing the scutwork of putting it up on the wiki. :-)--Mary Crawford 10:03, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

What to do with series?

I'm not sure what to do with zine series like First Time and T'hy'la. Since we have all the publication date/story/writer info for every issue thanks to the Database, it seems a shame not to make a stub page for each. But if I were to list each issue separately in the main list here, it would grow ginormous (First Time alone runs to *sixty* issues!). What would be wise?--Mary Crawford 10:03, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Mary - sounds like there needs to be separate pages for those series! Please feel free to go ahead and create them as fanwork pages. There's an infobox template at Template:Fanwork. From there I think just link to the series' pages from this list. Sound reasonable? --Hope 10:06, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Edit - sorry, just took a closer look at this page. Could you have another column in the table for "single issue" or "series"? or another table just for series? --Hope 10:07, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

It would be cool that instead of adding another column, that the "Year of Publication" column contain a range from when the 1st zine in the series was published to the last (or present if it's still being published). Then on a separate page give the particular of the series and each zine or if there are too many volumes for that to be practical, the series page can contain an index that will link to each zine that can be either be new page or sub-page. --elgraves 20:04, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

For now I've put (series) in the main table, instead of the pub date, and I think it would be a good thing to have a page for every series and then link to individual zines from there, as you say. I have already started some zine series pages for Naked Times and Nome with links to (sub)pages for each individual zine, or at least the possibility for them.--Mary Crawford 20:14, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

So what I want to do is start messing with the wikilinks so that, say, all of the Shades of Gray links all go to the same place -- "Shades of Gray series", say?--Sherrold 00:33, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Moving this?

I think it would be better if this page was moved somewhere within the Star Trek page hierarchy maybe Star Trek/Kirk/Spock/Zines or Star Trek/Kirk/Spock/Fanzines or somewhere there and make a redirect from this top level page (ETA:or actually not top level but technically a subpage of "Kirk" of all things). When I started editing the zine lists I tried to find this page (which I knew was in the wiki somewhere) I had to comb through the text of the article to find a list, because it shows nowhere in the trek info boxes and (as I have said elsewhere) the search engine was of no help whatsoever as I didn't match the exact title when searching.--Ratcreature 18:03, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

For consistency's sake, this should be Star Trek/Kirk/Spock/Fanzines. Maybe! Because I am wondering whether Star Trek/Fanzines/Kirk/Spock might not make more sense. It needs to be linked from both Star Trek/Kirk/Spock and Star Trek/Fanzines, but I'm not sure which one it should be a subpage of.--Penknife 19:10, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

The real problem is that subpages that are redirects don't show up in the automatic subpage list. Otherwise one could just create both. Personally I'm for Star Trek/Kirk/Spock/Fanzines because the Kirk/Spock page is a text page, and the Fanzines page is mostly a list and inside the list I've already but a regular wikilink in the K/S section to point to this page, which then naturally would go to that other page.--Ratcreature 19:15, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Would this K/S Fanzine page include K/S Reboot Fanzines should there ever be any? If not, shouldn't Kirk/Spock Fanzines be a subpage of Star Trek: TOS? I find the structure of the Star Trek article very confusing, especially since the new movie, and would prefer something similar to the Stargate pages. Then there could be TOS K/S and Reboot K/S and old and new Uhura, etc. :( --Doro 19:39, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, I think pairings in general are subpages of the main fandom, so Kirk/Spock is not a subpage to the TOS page either and I think eventual Reboot K/S zine should be a section on the K/S zine page. I mean, the only reason this is not also pasted on the main Fanzine page is to keep page length shorter I assume. And the newer the fandom the fewer the fanzines so to split TOS zines into their main branches makes sense as a site split.

I don't know if anything would be better if all the Trek sources were top level pages, like the SG series are, I'm not that attached to the subpage scheme at all if there was some other easy infobox way to visualize related pages. I just want this page to be more easitly integrated somewhere in the Trek pages.--Ratcreature 20:17, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

If you just want to integrate it somewhere, I would call it Star Trek/K/S Fanzines. That way it would be part of the subpage list, the K/S part of the subpage name would be visually different from the Kirk/Spock page, and the only word appearing twice in the subpage list would be Fanzines.--Doro 21:42, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah that would work for me too.--Ratcreature 22:12, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

What's going on with the tables here?

When I click on the last order symbol of the bigh K/S table, the symbol for sorting by year, the table doesn't rearrange for me as I expect, but the button does nothing except jump weirdly up the page. I can't find what is wrong or different in this table that the sorting thing only works for for the first columns not for the last.--Ratcreature 23:25, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

source for listing this as slash?

Is The Scapegoat really K/S? The Zinedex does not mark it so[1], and I don't see it on the Beyond Dreams Database website.--RatCreature 11:12, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Ezines

What about TOS e-zines? Should those also be included or is this specifically for print zines? --Shivohn Songbreeze 19:32, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

There's a section for e-zines at the bottom, though a very sad, out-of-date little list. --Mrs. Potato Head 20:53, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Rename page, or clearer in introduction and explanation

This page is named for something (ST: TOS slash zines) that reads differently than what's mostly on it (K/S zines). Should it be renamed? I'm also going to bold the part about this page not being all that up-to-date anymore, as it was made before we had categories and this was the only way to have this subset. --Mrs. Potato Head 20:53, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

This is a list for all Star Trek TOS slash zines, not just K/S zines. I reworded it to clarify. --Doro 09:22, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
