Generalize; not just for comics
I hope nobody minds if I turn this into a general-purpose template, because it doesn't look like it's being used for comic books anymore. --Xiaopo ʘ 20:11, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Specialised version for London Gazette
Would anyone object if I created a specialised version of this template for references to the London Gazette (also including Edinburgh Gazette and Belfast Gazette). They've recently changed there website breaking all the old urls, and in the process changing from their web references just numbering pages within issues, to match the printed copies, where page numbering runs throughout the year, starting with page 1 in the first issue of each, and continuing regardless of issue. I'm planning to ask for a bot to be created to assist in managing sorting this out, and it would be useful to be able to place them into a specific sub-category.

- Why would anyone object? This is a Wiki. Be bold. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 20:15, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
Wording
using a # for number is not common in the UK. I suggest we replace it with either "no." or "num." --Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 11:28, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
- I'm fine with its current state, but how about "page number?" as a compromise? --Adoniscik(t, c) 15:47, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- "Page number needed" too long to many editors (cf. discussion at Template talk:Rp, for example, not to mention earlier attempts to shorten it to "page # needed"). Meanwhile, "page number?" is telegraphic writing. Unless I'm nuts, "page needed" is clearer than "page number?", and almost as clear as "page number needed". — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 20:14, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
