Agreed, cool idea.

I understand what you guys are saying, and it makes sense as they are two different things (one story vs multiple related stories), but I guess I'll change my argument then to: IMO it'd be nice if there were a third category too for "FM Series (not campaigns)", since if you have a list thread about it, the two kinds of lists naturally belong together -- In my mind anyway... I might come here to find campaigns as well as series.

I'll put some more thought into this - maybe at the top we can have a Table of Contents of sorts that let's people jump to the section they want, something like:
[ ]Completed & packaged campaigns
[ ]Campaigns in progress
[ ]FM Series (either ongoing or completed)
I still like keeping everything in a simple list, maybe we could ditch the the "# of missions" heading and do a variation of what intruder suggested:
14 - (
http://thiefmissions.com/m/Strife#m) Strife by Ricebug for Thief 2 (version 1c)
13 - (
http://thiefmissions.com/m/T2X#m) T2X by The Dark Engineering Guild for Thief 2 (version 1.1)
10 - (
http://thiefmissions.com/m/Incubus#m) Incubus by Sterlino for Thief 2
9 - (
http://thiefmissions.com/m/KOTP-Episodes1-9) Keeper of the Prophecies by Frobber for Thief 2 (version 1a)
9 - (
http://www.thiefmissions.com/m/ElevatorMissionT2) Elevator Mission T2 by JIS for Thief 2
The link for each campaign goes to the thiefmisisons page for that mission, not the actual download. That way players can check out the file size/readme file/walkthrough and whatever else
before downloading. This'll help also if there's a newer version than what shows up in the list.
Edit: Quick thought - should there be a stipulation that whether the author is calling it a campaign or series, there needs to be at least two missions to qualify as either? Or is one mission with a cliffhanger or "to be continued" type of ending good enough?

You really didn't need to quote the entire post. But in any case, I've never played JIS' elevator campaingn, but according the (
http://www.thiefmissions.com/readmes/ElevatorMissionT2.txt) readme there are 9 missions.

Crooked Town (2-parts) should be added.
Just checked my walkthrough on Elevator Mission. Yep, 9 missions.

2 Missions: M.S. Gold - Rust by 3mdrin.

The updated Gold Edition of Thief's Rising has 10 missions.
Nightwalker on 25/11/2013 at 15:08
The original Elevator mission was just one but when it was re-released as a T2 mission, it was a campaign.

I know this mission (pack), and it's a damn hard one. These are the components (9 missions of course):
short_20: "Beginning is always night"
short_21: "A doubtful corridor"
short_22: "Factory"
short_23: "Submarine base"
short_24: "Transiency"
short_25: "Virtue"
short_26: "Betrayal"
short_27: "The last of EMT2"
short_28: "Men's tale"
