Collection Template

Use this template for collected editions. Not for use with original graphic novels.

Naming conventions:

Add (collected edition) to the end of the title of the collection wiki page. Ex. Sandman Vol. 2 would become Sandman Vol. 2 (collected edtion)

Do not add volume sub-title to wiki name of collections that use volume numbers. "Sandman Vol. 3: Dream Country" would only be "Sandman Vol. 3"

For collections that do not use volume numbers but only full titles, use the full title. Ex. Batman: Cantagion (collected edition) and Batman: Legacy (collected edition)

First section "{{collection" to "isbn_sc" contains general information about the collection, title, volume number, price(s), cover(s) etc.

Second section "layouter" to "editor" is reserved for cover credits only

Third section "publication_designer" to "solicitation" holds creator credits pertaining to the collection itself only as well as solicitation copy

This template is to be followed by the Story template which is used to list the individual stories reprinted in the collection (See Template:Story for more information)
