Regarding cover titles
I have seen Myrkul edit a lot of my cover titles lately. And I can't help but saying that it's a pain in the ass!
For example, some years (or months) ago, basically all covers that referred to the outer booklet pages was named "Booklet Front & Back". But recently we started using "Exterior" and "Interior" for some scans (like cases, sleeves, and in this case; booklets). But now, it seems like Myrkul has decided to GO BACK to "Front & Back" again, but keep "Booklet Interior" for some scans (like for this entry). Now, I'm okay with using "Front & Back" for, well, the outer pages. But in my opinion, I think that booklets that doesn't have any ACTUAL PAGES should just be Booklet Interior and Booklet Exterior, mainly because it feels more complete. Disagree? Well, I think at least we needed a discussion on this. |

I don't think either "Front & Back" or "Exterior" are wrong, so I don't have a strong opinion on which it should be. "Booklet Front & Back" is more consistent across all albums (so that the name is the same no matter how many pages are in the book), and I think that's probably what he's going for.

In that case, may I suggest that you put "Booklet Front & Back" in the cover list, please?

A question: which is the better form for naming the booklet pages?
"Booklet Pg." or "Booklet pg." |

Either works well, but the former is often used more.

Hey guys sorry for my late answer.
I have been hesitating myself about using "Exterior/Interior". It sounds more logical to me.. but like Secret said, Front & Back is more consistent on the database. Also i have been renaming "Booklet Front" to "Front" if we already have a "Booklet Front & Back" scan.. (again for consistance) and this have probably not been understood since i gave no explication about it.. sorry about that guys. About the pg. or Pg. or Pages.. I personnally like "pg." without the capital letter, but currently you can only choose "Pg." Both are fine to me, and i am not renaming these anymore if the booklet have the right page numbers (ex: pg. 01-02, and not pg. 02-03 if they are not numbered). I maybe have been managing the scans/queue section on my own without much discussion and feedback.. again i am sorry if you feel lost. Just to let you know i have not set anything in stone and advices are welcome. A scans submission guideline should be able to fix it all. I'll do it tomorrow i think. |

Yes. Some guidelines would indeed be nice. We need to make titles official. Also, I prefer "pg." without the capital p, too. Maybe we should change it, in the list, to that -- if all else concurs?

Same here, though it's really kind of nitpicking

I think the reason we use "Booklet Front & Back" is probably because in some cases, we have a "Booklet Front" and a "Booklet Back" separately. If we split it up that way, then it makes more sense to people to see "Booklet Front & Back" because then they know that it is both the pages of the outside.
By the way, it seems many people don't know this but "pg" is not a correct abbreviation for page, it should be "p." for one page and "pp." for multiple pages. |

That's true, we might want to use the proper abbreviation.
By the way, there's an official discussion thread up now for changes to the guidelines and titles: http://vgmdb.net/forums/showthread.php?t=5848 |

No problem, I just thought you might want to comment on some of the proposed changes.
