Talk:Books: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 09:18, 3 April 2020

Links

How do we want to link sources to this part of the wiki? When I added a book I just linked it to goodreads so people can see what the book was about. Would a link to review sites like goodreads be the way we link books?

I decided against linking to stores to avoid directing people to a specific way to buy the book like Amazon or Barnes & Noble. But there will be books that may not be reviewed on goodreads, like academic texts discussing gender theory or something.

What do you think?

@Bean3000: this page managed to go under my radar somehow. Instead of the table I would use a list and then the {{cite book}} template for every book, which supports links for both the book title and the author. Example for the third book in the current table:

Bornstein, Kate (1994). Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women, and the Rest of Us. Psychology Press. ISBN 9780415908979.
