Category discussion
Although I can see the use for a category of this type, it is also a massive job that needs to be done. To start the categories before suggesting and discussing them hopefully means that the creator is aware of this and intends to do much of the job. For example, I would not mind adding the categories to articles I am doing other work on but I will not go through story articles to add only this category.

- I am not sure what we will get at all with these categories. And what about newspaper stories published during two years? Put them in two categories? We already have list of Team Fantomen stories for every year. Delboj (talk) 11:51, 13 January 2018 (CET)
- Delboj: This is something that should have been done from the start, but I do appreciate all the work you have done so far - this is not easy for so few people. The TF list doesn't show years, these categories will make it easier to compare stories from all over the world not just from Scandinavia. For longer stories I think the date for the last strip counts as the year of publishing. Andreas: I would like to start a discussion about also starting categories for plot elements, for example stories with science fiction elements, stories about dictators, stories about kidnapping. That would also be much work however... If you add these categories for years when you can I will do my part of the job. If someone (english-speaking language expert) thinks there's a better way to name these categories: now is the time to shout. --Vogler (talk) 15:13, 13 January 2018 (CET)
- I've thought that for each year there are Fantomen lists with team Fantomen stories. About other categories what you mentioned, maybe really there is a sense to create some subseries, like Wild West stories in main category Historical stories, but in that case I am not sure how should be named other categories.

- If you add categories for year, add the title too. Otherwise will, for instance The Dagger, end up under T in stead of under D. --MiGi (talk) 00:30, 14 January 2018 (CET)
- That's important only for stories with articles "the", "a", and "an". But if you add categories for years, it would be easier add another categories too. Of course, before that we should decide here about names. Maybe The Phantom Year One stories, pirates stories, war stories, Venetian stories, witch(men) stories, stories about aliens (in main category SF stories), stories about curses, stories about wrecks, stories about bible themes, stories in the USA (for example about Civil war), stories in England, stories in Italy, stories in Sweden... or something like that. I don't have good enough ideas. Delboj (talk) 09:22, 14 January 2018 (CET)
