Is there a reason why there are red links to paper formats? I removed one in another zine, that I thought some sort of glitch, but now see that this is intended. But I'm just baffled why? I mean, it's not a fannish term, but just a size description, so to what kind of entry is this intended to go eventually? I could potentially see a glossary entry that explains, like the section on the zine page does now, that A4 and that non-metric US letter format are called "full-size", and the A5 ones are called "digest", but the other terms are what everyone describes paper sizes with, aren't they?--RatCreature 13:45, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

I was seeing a glossary term in its future, but if you don't think it's important, I'll skip them. Size of zine is one of those things that I wish we would have thought of to put in the template long, long ago, but I don't have the energy to deal with that anymore.

I think that the information is great to include (and yeah, I guess that would have made a good field, but then we didn't put pages in the box either) so I'm not at all saying that A4/5 or fullsize/digest or whatever other format shouldn't be included. Just that it does not need to be linked anywhere, because it is self-explanatory that A4 zine means a zine on 21x29.7cm sized pages.--RatCreature 15:13, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
