Fiction vs. sourcebooks

Should we have a distinction between fiction by a given author and sourcebooks by a given author? FR wiki just lists them together as "Works by so-and-so." We might also find that there is a better way to categorize them altogether, though I think this is the most efficient, as there doesn't seem to be a reason to make a category for the author with a /sourcebooks subcategory. -- yoda8myhead 07:29, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

I was originally going to say that we treat them the same, but that isn't quite the case, as any novels would be a tier lower on the canon latter. May do a 'tier 1 sources by X' maybe even going as far as to put the sourcebooks into 'tier 1 source' and 'tier 2 source' categories to aleiviate some of the questions down the road when there are conflicting sources? --Cpt kirstov 11:37, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

That's an interesting point, but we should probably take a step back and ask ourselves who our target audience is. I'm pretty sure that we're the only ones who are going to care about levels of canon (well, us and diligent Paizo writers). I think that lumping all works by an author together is the way to go. --Aeakett 12:24, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

I say lump them together as well. We can define what type of content an individual piece of writing is elsewhere; what's important in this matter is simply who put it to paper. -- Heaven's Agent 03:10, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

This is being completed as I type this by my clockwork minion. -- yoda8myhead 23:31, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
