Magazine
[edit]Lvr, you have moved the text about Spirou magazine to its own article. Fine by me, but there is no link to it from here, the link from French magazines for Spirou (in itself incorrect) goes to this article and not the one about the magazine, and a search for Spirou magazine gives me nothing. What title have you used? (If you are still busy, my apologies). Thanks for cleaning up some of my articles or changes, by the way. I'm a sloppy spelling checker :-) Fram 14:35, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
- I was working on it ! Is it better now ? What is the page "French magazines" that you mention ? Is it Franco-Belgian comics magazines. If yes, i did too. Otherwise, don't hesitate to correct it. The page name is spirou (magazine) and I have made 2 redirects: Spirou magazine and Le Journal de Spirou. Next step: Tintin (magazine) ;-) Lvr 11:19, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks, much better. I was a bit too impatient (I'm glad I apologized in advance). There was a list of French magazines (like Vogue and Elle and Pif Gadget) that included Spirou. I have removed it from there. Actually, I have checked all pages that linked to Spirou, and have on those that needed it changed the link to Spirou (magazine). I'll try to do the same once you've finished Tintin! Fram 12:29, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
Denomination
[edit]Writers generally refer to the magazine as "Spirou" and the series as "Spirou et Fantasio". Perhaps "Spirou et Fantasio" is what this article should be named? David t 04:38, 19 October 2005 (UTC)David
- If you want, you could create a Spirou et Fantasio page that redirects here. I think that the common name of the series is still "Spirou", while its more "official" is "Spirou et Fantasio". If I'm searching for this article, I would certainly search for "Spirou" and not for "Spirou et Fantasio". Lvr 09:04, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
- I think it will be better to move the content of this page to "Spirou et Fantasio" and leave this either as a disambiguation page or as a page about the character of Spirou, which doesn't have a page right now. --Andromeda 12:31, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
- This is not a bad idea, but Spirou as a character existed earlier than Fantasio. Do you plan having a separated article for the character ? The disambiguation page should mention the magazine, the two comic series and the character. I made a suggestion here Spirou/temp. Lvr 22:19, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with Andromeda's idea, which is pretty much what I had suggested back in October 2005. Even older (pre-Fantasio) strips have been reprinted under the name "Spirou et Fantasio", so this is very much the official series name and should be used as the page title. Your temporary disambiguation page is just what I had in mind. As for creating a new page for Spirou (character), for example, if someone wants to create one, then why not. It seems there are pages for several other characters in the series (Fantasio, Zorglub). Anyway, the new proposal allows this. David t 00:37, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

- Yes, the idea is basically that, just by adding a link to a page about Spirou as a character. Spirou (character) maybe? I think the easiest way to do this will be move this page to "Spirou et Fantasio" and later come back and edit the redirect to put the dissambiguation page in place. What do you think? --Andromeda 08:59, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
