@cloudguy: Yeah it's going to be a judgement call for sure as they have dropped the indicia digital titles...and I don't think many people are using print as the source material any longer.
@revquixo My LCS didn't have the newer Death of Doctor Strange tie-in's left but assuming that the naming convention is the same across the tie-ins, "the" should be left off of the volume titles of the main volume and tie-ins.
Edit: I don't know why the images have rotated when I uploaded them.
I'm fine with that, I was just following the lead of the issues that were already in the system when I started helping out picking up adding stuff after pikahyper stepped down from his one man crusade. Just looking for consistency in either direction.
@revquixo: You’re not being a jerk so don’t worry. We’re just discussing something that seems to be a confusing wiki issue.
But I now see what the issue is. The naming convention for story arcs are different to volumes. Story Arcs can include “the” as far as I’m aware, whereas we don’t for volumes.
It's not that though..all the issues within the arc also include the "The"..except the two just added this week. The earliest issues being the ones added by pika before he stepped down..leading me to believe those are proper indicia titles.
@cloudguy Not to be a jerk about this, but the original listings for the arc was done by pikahyper before he quit and he included the "The" for other titles so I'm talking about reinventing the wheel here. I'm just asking for consistency within the arc:
@revquixo: Based on what I’ve read I would assume that the print copies of the issues would still have them so the rule should still apply. If it was a digital exclusive then fair enough. But since these release as both physical and digital then we should follow the standard rules.
I don't disagree with you, but the guy adding them is using digital releases as his source, so he doesn't know either (based on the covers uploaded) and *EVERY* other issue in the arc in the DB is going by "The" Death of Doctor Strange... soooo...
@revquixo: Are you looking at how they are named in the comics Indicia? We name them based on how they are labelled in that section of the comic. Normally they miss the word "The" for the simplicity of naming conventions and organisation.
