==Letter Pages== | |||
How should each page be named so each is unique? I think subpages would be the way to go here, like ''Structured Vision'', but then what do we call each page? “To: So and So”, like: <code>Norman Mailer's Letters on An American Dream, 1963–1969/To: Eiichi Yaminishi</code>? What do we do when we have more than one letter to Eiichi Yaminishi? Should we add the date? <code>Norman Mailer's Letters on An American Dream, 1963–1969/To: Eiichi Yaminishi (November 25, 1963)</code> It’s beginning to get unwieldy. Suggestions? | How should each page be named so each is unique?

: I decided against using subpages, so each letter will have its own page, linked both off of [[AAD:Letters]] and [[Norman Mailer’s Letters]]. —[[User:Grlucas|Grlucas]] ([[User talk:Grlucas|talk]]) 12:06, 25 March 2019 (UTC) | : I decided against using subpages, so each letter will have its own page, linked both off of [[AAD:Letters]] and [[Norman Mailer’s Letters]]. —[[User:Grlucas|Grlucas]] ([[User talk:Grlucas|talk]]) 12:06, 25 March 2019 (UTC) | ||

:::{{reply to|Dillbug}} How about the way I began doing it with a table on the [[AAD:Letters|main page]]? This is close to Gilbert’s suggestion. —[[User:Grlucas|Grlucas]] ([[User talk:Grlucas|talk]]) 21:31, 26 March 2019 (UTC) | :::{{reply to|Dillbug}} How about the way I began doing it with a table on the [[AAD:Letters|main page]]?

How should they be formatted? I.e., how should they appear on the screen? I think we should create a [[Wikipedia:Template:Navbar|navbar]] to link them. Other ideas? Check out ''[[Norman Mailer: Works and Days|WD]]'' entries for ideas. | How should they be formatted? I.e., how should they appear on the screen?
