Template talk:Blood: The Last Vampire

Blood series

It seems that generally templates like this one include everything related to the subject at hand, so I was surprised to find that Blood: The Last Vampire and Blood: The Last Vampire (2009 film) were nowhere to be found. Since they are both a part of this franchise, I think it would be appropriate to move this template to something like Template:Blood series, with one section for Blood+ and one for the films. If there are any objections, please let me know. tktktk 01:37, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes, there are objections. Its been discussed before and consensus agreed that they are separate, if mildly related, franchises. Blood TLV has no template as it has only two articles. Blood+ has a template as it has more interrelated articles. Production I.G itself treats them as separate as well. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 01:51, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough. Thanks for your input. tktktk 03:54, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Personally, I wouldn't be against doing something like "Related (The Last Vampire • The Last Vampire (live-action film))"... I think B+ and TLV are closely related enough that this would be fine. 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 18:09, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

That sounds good, actually. It looks like based on the previous discussion that Eruhildo liked that idea as well. How does something like this look? tktktk 06:22, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure about having separate rows with such a small template, but doubled parenthesis don't look too good either... All in all, I prefer your version, then. 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 00:41, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

The other option would be to append {{•}}Related: ''[[Blood: The Last Vampire|The Last Vampire]]''{{·}} ''[[Blood: The Last Vampire (2009 film)|The Last Vampire]]'' <small>(live-action film)</small> to the end of the first line—this is done on 4 other templates, as opposed to Related () which is only used on 3 templates.

Yep, this os one formatting issue we never really discussed - I've mostly just been going with whatever looked "best" at the time, but I think the unparenthesized method is fine when there's only one or two "related" links, as there is here. 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 18:10, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Methinks it is much better now. :) G.A.S^talk 04:55, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Moved

Renamed the Blood+ template to Blood: The Last Vampire and edited accordingly as the first movie is the original and main item of the franchise, and Blood+ is not the only anime series on it anymore. ^talk 23:24, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
