:Actually, at first the novel was a first-level item (just like Manga and Anime), but it just didn't look good, so I grouped it together with manga because "that's something with pages and stuff, yo". We can put it somewhere else (if it really belongs in this menu), but I don't really understand what you suggested. In the meantime, I tried to make a "books" section but then having a single item in the list looks a bit lonely ... --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 20:06, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Revision as of 20:26, 28 July 2011

Moving discussion of redesign here from the other page. I'd suggest not grouping light novel in with manga. Because we have other official books. See here: [1]. You can change the naming convention there to all be Puella Magica if you want and make it NitroPlus Light Novel instead of Novel. --randomanon 19:43, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Well tbh, I'm not sure by what criteria items are chosen to be lifted up to menu status. At the link I showed, there's also a comic anthology and a fan guidebook. They're all official books sponsored by Magica Quartet.
