I'm very curious as to why this idea took place, considering that no Wikis as far as I know use this method - least of all the two major comic Wikis which I tried to base this one off of. Years ago, when I was still new here, I saw many people on message boards complain that this Wiki wasn't enough like DC and Marvels and thus hard to navigate - which is why I polled people around here for things like disambiguation pages and seperate universe pages (especially since the multiverse was established) and put those into place. But those Wikis definitely don't have separate universe sub-categories for every other category. All of the Kryptonians that have ever appeared ever all show up in "Category: Kryptonians". There isn't categories for Kryptonians (Smallville), Kryptonians (Earth 2), Kryptonians (DCAU), etc. So why would we? If the rest of the world doesn't mind sifting through 600 versions of Kal-El in one list of a species why are we different?

Then again, maybe we don't wanna emulate them too closely? I mean look at this mess....



Ugh... That just makes my head hurt.

I guess outside all of this, the main reason why I'm hesitant is that for over a year, I've been trying to get in touch with someone at Nickelodeon to help establish official designations - to move from X character (Y series) to something more like they do with other comics with New Earth, Earth-616, that sort of thing. I don't just wanna make something up.. I want it to be official and universal. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get anything from Ciro, and from what I've heard most lately, I'd have to go over his head to a Brand Manager - who I think I've found but also I've not heard from yet. But yeah... if we had X category (Y series) for like all of these categories, if I ever get word, it'll be a nightmare to clean up - whereas renaming just the character articles would be so much easier.

This is probably the last I have to say about this... you guys can have another rebuttal if you wish then likely I'll make a decision tomorrow after work.
