Forum:Adding Collection extension to allow users to make and print PDF books, such as strategy guides

I think it would be good to add this extension to allow users to create PDF books with wiki content, to be able to do things such as making and printing strategy guides to use with the game.

 * I'm not so sure. We don't cover strategy on the wiki, and Prima has that covered anyway. Besides, the fact that this is constantly updated and no page is 'finished', it would be out of dat within minutes or months. Maybe when we finally lay games to rest (unlikely) then we could consider helping someone publish the Vault. Personally though, I'd feel uncomfortable with it. -- GOTW '''User 22:08, 18 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I was thinking that someone would print it themselves, also addressing the problem of there already being an official guide, which would save people the money of having to buy it. We cover a large amount of information that is important for playing the game.  As for the publishing aspect, I obviously wasn't supporting the POD feature of the extension, for one thing, since it would be to save money on the official guide.  Second, I think it would be good to turn off the POD feature since it could be problematic for someone to be making money off of unofficial derivative work.

 * I meant Prima has strategy covered ;). The way I see it, we're a website and if someone has the time to download our work, they have the time to come back and use it how it was meant to be used. -- GOTW '''User 11:30, 19 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Except a lot of people aren't going to want to spend the money on the official guides, especially when better and updated information is available here. It's also often impractical for most people to be going to the computer from the game console while playing just to look up information.


 * I don't think it would really be a problem; users who want to use is can, and anyone who doesn't won't have to. I think it would be good to give people the option of using it.

 * I really don't see what benefit this extension brings to the site, the content here is already easily accessible and printable as it is. I would rather see such extensions like semantics installed as a priority. User avatar tag.gifUser Avatar talk.png 20:18, 19 June 2012 (UTC)


 * It would make it possible to organize all information on a particular topic into a book or chapter, such as information related to strategy. Sternkreuz.png Инкуиситор Саша Ехренстеин аус дөм Стурмкриг Сектор (Contributions) (Edit Count) Contact: CW - SK (de) - MW.org 16:38, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
 * That's the purpose of categories, so we don't need the extention for that either I'm afraid :/ -- GOTW '''User 20:04, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
