Talk:Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)
I move that the toy catalogs be separated from the story pages, as we don't typically treat toy catalog storylines as part of other published fiction in such a manner. I don't know whether the summaries should get their own page, though, or a subsection of another page... maybe the toyline page? They were packaged with toys, after all. --Monzo 17:38, 2 February 2010 (EST)
- I dunno. They were published in catalogs, but they're still story pages, which is what this article is for. If it was just the TV Magazine story pages, it would be titled "Zone (TV Magazine)". Though we could move them to the Catalog article, if we must. We currently have a Beast Wars II story page floating around in that article because it was published in a catalog and I didn't know WTF to do with it. --DrSpengler 17:57, 2 February 2010 (EST)
- The toy catalogs obviously aren't part of the same continuity as the TV Magazine story pages, though. I look at it as the same sort of situation as pack-in minicomics... we don't count the Armada minicomics as part of Dreamwave comic continuity, say, even though they were obviously Dreamwave-produced. Each old STARS catalog also gets its own wiki page and fiction write-up. With that in mind, we probably should have individual pages for Japanese toy catalogs that have fiction in them... I guess they'd be something like "First Zone Catalog" and "Second Zone Catalog"? I don't know if they have actual titles anywhere. --Monzo 18:10, 2 February 2010 (EST)
- They do have titles; they're listed in their write-ups ("Zone story project" or whatever and the like). Separate articles could work, though that'd be a whole bunch of extra articles for such itty bitty content, and I dunno how we'd add em all to the Franchise nav box. A parimary "Zone (catalog)" article? But if we did that, we could just put them all on the one article since there's only two of them and they have hardly any story to them. --DrSpengler 18:15, 2 February 2010 (EST)
- Seperate articles could be redirects to a central clearinghouse article which covers all of them. -Derik 18:55, 2 February 2010 (EST)
- While we're talking about it, could I also mention how much I hate the story page article titles? "Zone (story page)"? Blecch. Oughta be "Zone story pages". Likewise "Zone catalogs" not "Zone (catalog)". Makes infinitely more sense to me. - Chris McFeely 18:58, 2 February 2010 (EST)
