Help clean up series

With the update to LT series, a lot of pages have become a bit jumbled. We've started a thread in the Series group to highlight and ask for help organizing specific series, but there are many that are too complex to be sorted out by people who aren't deeply familiar with the series. While we need help with organizing, we're also looking for series that need help and advice from people who have knowledge of them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

PSA:

Please do not combine Publication Order and Chronological Order series, when they differ, at this time. Tim's chosen to make it hard to see the publication order for a series (you need to select it every single time you visit a page, which always defaults to chronological order), so keeping these separate for the time being, if they both exist, is probably for the best.

>2 lorax: I've posted that and a summary of other major points in post 2 of the continued practices thread.

This isn't a response to the >2 lorax: advice but a related note for series helpers: chronological order is the default when the series is set to "custom" for chronological order. There are other options in each series' settings. For example, publication order is an option for the default. As selecting the publication order as the default will remove the "Story" tab, it should probably only be used for series that do not have a chronology that can be ordered.

To be clear, that default setting is for the series, not for a member's preference for all series. I was just reminded tart we haven't seen all the options in the new series system discussed yet.

"Chronological order" means sequenced by narrative chronology, right?

I get confused, because "publication order" is also chronological.

>5 paradoxosalpha: Yep, it's narrative chronology.
