Manuscripts

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

  I would like to be able to have my published manuscripts navigable to in the ToC like articles. I write both short stories and novels, and I intend for my short stories to be accessible to all, while novels would be sub based. I have set up a category specifically for this purpose but I can not link my manuscripts to these categories without going through a workaround of linking the bbcode on an article and putting that in the ToC which just doesn't look right to me and doesn't look professional in my opinion. 

How does this feature request address the current situation?

It will allow me to have my manuscripts directly viewable on my world without needing to manually link a bbcode.

The Team's Response

Declined due to very low support over an extended period of time   As a note, the ToC is really not the place for manuscripts BUT I will agree that a section like for Maps or Timelines should be added for manuscripts. Please feel free to submit a request for this

    A bbcode that inserts the TOC of a manuscript into an article would be amazing.

    As other people have said, not in the ToC but still available to click on in the world based on which world they are associated with would be awesome.

    I don't need my manuscripts in the ToC, but it would be nice to be able to have text links f it as well as other ways to link the manuscripts in the world.

    I would like the Manuscripts to appear in my world easier than now, but I would NOT like them to appear in the ToC. Clicking on the ToC on a Manuscript will mean leaving the world to a completely different interface and can alienate my readers.   I would prefer something like the Featured Articles, or Campaign boxes.

    I think this is a pretty valuable way to link manuscripts with worlds. Would like to use!

    I don't currently use manuscripts, but for that matter I also don't use the world toc. Still, I can see the use case for this.
