Talk:The 6th Phantom
The 1st appearance of several of the earlier Phantom's are very tricky to say. All tough one might argue that "The Founding of the Jungle Patrol" in fact was the first appearance of the 6th Phantom, the actual story says it was the 7th Phantom who is depicted. However, later stories, starting with "The Trial of Patrolman Zokko", Falk changed this to be the 6th Phantom. This is just one of *several* examples (in fact, its much easier to find stories and Phantom's which *wasn't* changed by Falk, than that was... Following this, I suggest that we replace the common character infobox with a specific infobox for the Phantom's. For instance, this "Phantombox" could include active years according to Falk, Team Fantomen, Bastei and possibly more, and wives, according to different lores. What about it?

Correction: "The Foundation of the Jungle Patrol" doesn't specify what Phantom it is. However in "The Golden Sands of Keela-Wee" it is said to be the 7th, before changing to the 6th in "The Trial of Patrolman Zokko". My bad. Pjär 06:27, 20 February 2008 (CET)
- Agreed! Member 7 08:22, 20 February 2008 (CET)
- I've created a template. Does it work? Pjär 14:31, 20 February 2008 (CET)
- I would suggest that wifes also are included, since that also has varied. Karl MAN Obadja 14:41, 20 February 2008 (CET)
- Yeah... I also thought about that... however - that would make the template absolutely HUGE, especially since Lee Falk tributed several Phantoms with two or even three different wives... Generally it is only Team Fantomen who is attempting to put down a proper lists of wives. Thus I suggest that we keep every noted marriage within the proper text, rather than in the template.

- Looks like a good start. However, can the birth year be added somehow? The text size could be reduced to make the template less huge. Member 7 15:04, 20 February 2008 (CET)
- Concerning the assigned wives. Team Fantomen reportedly changed which wife was married to which Phantom in some stories. That means that to really know what wife Falk actually married to whom, you have to have access to the English original stories. Do anyone of have that? Karl MAN Obadja 16:09, 22 February 2008 (CET)

I have quite a few, and have detailed notes on the rest of the stories. I figure it will do just fine :) Pjär 17:24, 22 February 2008 (CET)
I've tried to make out a structure for the articles covering the individual Phantoms, as seen in this article, among others. This will easily separate different publisher's versions from each other, and still make it possible to write in in-universe style for those who for example like to give the biographical Team Fantomen story of each Phantom. If everyone agree on this method, we only have to come up with an OK way to list the appearances... Pjär 19:26, 27 February 2008 (CET)
- I think this way is fine. Karl MAN Obadja 22:42, 28 February 2008 (CET)
