Template talk:Fiction

Well my browser lost what I put in here just before, so here goes again:

As most of you may not know, in the Fiction template, you need "prev=" in order to show the next story and the timeline. I say this is unessacary. I changed the template so that you could have the next story and the timeline without having to put "prev=" on the page. , however; disagrees. So, here I am asking this question: Do we really need "prev=" in order to show the next story and the timeline on the Fitcion template?
