Books

Do you seriously think that there are seven books in the series (counting the do-it-yourself book and movie diary), when websites CONFIRM that there are FIVE????? 209.175.117.2 (talk) 19:30, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Both Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Do-It-Yourself Book and The Wimpy Kid Movie Diary are listed on List of Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. Neelix (talk) 20:48, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter. A spinoff's a spinoff. The movie diary and do-it-yourself book are not counted in the main series. Therefore, Diary of a Wimpy Kid 5 is the fifth book. 209.175.117.2 (talk) 18:27, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Are not counted" by whose reckoning? Please stop trying to WP:OWN this template. TheRealFennShysa (talk) 19:20, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wimpy Kid 5 is NOT, for the last dang time, the seventh book. The movie diary and do-it-yourself book ARE NOT COUNTED. Continue doing this, and I'll report it. 209.175.117.2 (talk) 18:28, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do not act like you're in charge and look how many people disagree with you. Somebody500 (talk) 19:43, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that they do not count as part of the main series. Also, I think the template should be changed so that they are not the only two books listed beside the "Books" part of the template. If anything would go by this part of the template, it should be the five books in the actual series. Alphius 01:09, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of Diary of a Wimpy Kid books should no longer be important in this discussion, because I have redirected it to Diary of a Wimpy Kid (series). Alphius 23:56, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
