Never create a page without using the templates tool

1
Summary by Arlo James Barnes

Was reprimanded for freehanding the precursor to Revelation Space (franchise), which lead to markup errors ("In the future, when creating a work page...").

...please use the Page Creator tool and select the "Create Works Page" option. This will set you up with a skeleton page with all the necessary markup needed to make a proper Works page that looks and functions like an ATT page. Please do not start a page simply by adding a category to a blank page, and then dumping content into it. The result will be an orphan page with none of the functionality and features of a typical ATT page. (This is, in fact, good advice for creating any kind of page, as we have templates for every type of page you might want to create. And just as a heads-up, repeatedly creating pages without using the proper markup may result in tempbans until you get in the habit.)

You can find the Page Creator either at the link I just entered above, or in the menu on the left edge of every page, the first entry under the "Troping Utilities" section.

I have gone into and added all the missing code to your page for the Revelation Space franchise (which I have also moved to Revelation Space (franchise) to match our usual format for franchise pages). I have also created the corresponding category.
