321:. similar sections, some overlap of contents. Its not my template, of course, so criticism or redaction will be welcome. main point is to remove from this template categories, stubs, or otherwise much less notable articles, in favor of the major fantasy articles we have. a link to tolkien fandom without a direct link to tolkien is not correct. He is much more important than his fans,obviously, as are his books. the template can, and i think should, link directly to major authors and works, and not just lists or articles on the culture of fantasy fans. i just have to do some resorting, and ill post it here (and rename it). I will list all the articles i did NOT include, which may help if people feel i left something out that warrants inclusion. (the work is based on my own knowledge (somewhat biased of course) and the strength of the arguments of the articles for how important their subject is to the fantasy field.

I have given up on this template (as i did with SF), but i want to point out that we are including some publishers and not others, some publications and not others, and the list of genres and subjects is incomplete and biased. Any effort to create an effective navigation box for
Fantasy fiction will

no question the fantasy genre is larger than tolkien, as you can see by the articles linked to in the template. IF we want an image on this template, this is pretty good, though i did consider images by rackham, and things like fairies, etc. Good questions about the copyright status, maybe take that
653:
I don't think this is an appropriate picture for this template. Firstly, I think the fantasy genre is far wider than Lord of the Rings and it is not right to use a particular image symbolising one particular book.
783:
Isn't this more like Horror? Plus, it's a fad. In 10 years, if people are still reading it, then it can be included. As of today, it hasn't shown staying power like the others on the list.
856:
be subjective. PS, this is the
English Knowledge, thus it has an inevitable Anglo bias. i did include some classics from antiquity. But, as i said, i will no longer edit these templates.
760:. Yes, they have provided inspiration for modern fantasy writers, but I would suggest them to be better described as myths, legends, (traditional) folk/fairy tales, heroic epics etc.

Subjective! Remove it. Also it's very Anlgo-centric. Where are Latin magic realist works? Where are the
Japanese fantasys. List could be better, but removing it is better still--

Tolkien created and it hasn't entered the public domain yet. The artist of this image likely also used a font, which may also have additional copyright restrictions.--
