Some time ago, I was looking for a list of Robert E. Howard (and other related authors) adaptations, as I keep finding more (and many of his works are related to each others), but couldn't find a decent list.

So I'm looking to create a new field, to create those lists. I'm way more lost in the comics template than in others, but I have a pretty clear idea of what I have imagined.

The field on the template and pages

 * The field would be named on the template as "AdaptedFromX_Y" (X being the number of the story on the page and Y the number of the author of the adapted story.
 * X would be at max. 20 ( has 15 stories), I doubt there is any case where it can be upper than 20 stories in issues (except in compilations of reprints).
 * Y would be at least at 3 (the max. I've encountered as far is 2).
 * The field would be named on the page as "Adapted from stories by" or "Adapted from stories and/or concepts by".

When does the field would have to be used

 * The field doesn't apply for the sole presence of characters:
 * For example, is according to the credits "freely adapted from Robert E. Howard's story "The Grey God Passes": Robert E. Howard is listed in the field.
 * In contrast, is "inspired by the short story by Robert E. Howard, creator of Conan", and features Juma who "is the creation of L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter and is used by their kind permission": Robert E. Howard is listed in the field, but de Camp and Carter are only listed in the creators field of the page of Juma.
 * It can apply when "concepts" are adapted, especially when clearly stated to be related to a story:
 * and features "concepts from "At the Mountains of Madness" by H.P. Lovecraft & The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym" by Edgar Allan Poe" (#4 simply states "featuring [...] concepts from H.P. Lovecraft & Edgar Allan Poe", but #3 is enough to justify the use of the field in #4).

The author of the adapted stories

 * Being listed on that field would create the category Category:[Name of the author]/Adapted Stories (or a better name).
 * If the category exist, a field "Stories created by [name of the author] and adapted by Marvel Comics" would appear on the author page.

Any thoughts on that idea? (stuff to be added, names to be changed...)

Also, I just witnessed (on Jim Starlin's work history that:
 * The author name is always used with brackets. I'm not sure that's necessary.
 * The list of categories is listed twice (but the problem doesn't appear on all authors' pages).

Also, I'm looking for the equivalent of Template:StaffCorrection for the creators fields on pages.
