If Limited or 1shot are set to N, the auto-categorization is still happening. See A Game of Thrones (comics) for example. It is auto-categorized as all three Limited, Ongoing, and One-shot. Template probably uses the logic if populated with anything instead of if populated with Y or Yes. I assume that the same holds true for cases where "Ongoing=N", but that's an assumption.
I'm not sure which is better, but the logic should probably make exception to cases where the parameter is N or No, -OR- only perform action if the parameter is Y or Yes. I don't know if anyone might populate the parameter with a year or something. – 2pou (talk) 04:28, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

. Please update "ISSNT" to new template name "ISSN link". This is basically the only place left where that redirect is used. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 21:07, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
Hello, I apologise if I am asking in the wrong place. But I am doing work on British anthology titles and was wondering if I could suggest/request a field similar to "main_char_team" which fits with story titles rather than characters. Many anthology titles have regular characters that are better known by the name of their strip than the character name, or have an ensemble cast, and outside of superhero-type comics these names can often be non-descript and hard to summarise.
For example, in Crisis (British comics) the main character of "Third World War (comics)" is Eve Collins, but putting that in the infobox would require additional explanation like 'Eve Collins (Third World War)' which seems a bit clunky, whereas others could result in a list of characters from several strips where a simple strip name would otherwise make it clear.
Is it possible to request some sort of "main_stories" parameter that displays Main stories (I'm not sure we'd need a singular as it would only be for anthologies) for these cases? Many thanks BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 12:15, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
I'm a fan of a comic book series that has a credited role — editorial assistant — that isn't contemplated by infobox and doesn't fit neatly into any of these fields. How can I add it in? Petey05 (talk) 20:03, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
