Dishonored as a franchise

Heya,

Dishonored only has two video games with Dishonored 1 and Dishonored 2 but it's recently released a novel (Dishonored: The Corroded Man) as well as a comic book (The Wyrmdwood Deceit). They are also going to be doing two more novelizations in the upcoming year so I was thinking it might be good to give Dishonored an over-page.

Not sure what to put in there, though.

Usually that sort of thing is considered Expanded Universe material and is covered as such.

Ooo, how's that work?

Well, the Franchise namespace is generally when the adaptations of a work are roughly coequal. When a work gets spinoff material, such as the Star Wars Expanded Universe, it can merit a distinct article to index all of that content. Now, the SWEU (and other ones in a similar vein) are vast — if Dishonored only has a few such works, it wouldn't be enough to justify a separate index. The easiest way to handle it would be to put them in a sublist under whichever primary article seems to fit them best.

All that said, now that I think about it, a Franchise landing page might actually be worthwhile here.

Hey, you know these things better than I do.

I mostly was thinking it needed it because there's going to be a lot more extra-media stuff for it in 2017.

Generally we wait for the additional media to accumulate pages first. After we have several different medium-specific pages, then a multimedia franchise index/trope page is created.

It isn't really there to replace the individual work pages.

Not sure what this inquiry has to do with Trope Talk so moved to Wiki Talk.
