Talk:Voyager spacecraft

On the Memory Alpha link

I'm all for teasing Voyager 6 (which in its fictional universe, visited a machine planet), but is it better to be coy or direct in making a reference? While Kreo licences, Infestation, and IDW's TAS crossover (which would look more janky, Filmation doing Transformers or AKOM doing Star Trek?) means that certain Trek elements have appeared in TF fiction (Cochrane, dilithium, Klingons, the D7-class cruiser, and a couple of versions of the Constitution-class) I don't believe that Voyager 6 was among these seen or mentioned bits so far. I was content to have the link say "go here for a timeline where earth sent more than 2 Voyagers, Memory Alpha knows more than we do", how do others feel?

If we have to explain the totally out-of-universe "joke," we should just erase it. --Thylacine 2000 (talk) 12:01, 12 December 2021 (EST)

Mmm. I came across the reference already in the article, but recalling how my Star Wars tie-in articles have been ruthlessly (but justly!) pared down on the basis of what a Transformers Wiki can know about such things, I thought I should couch things a little more obscurely. It got reverted back, and such are the breaks on a wiki, but I thought I would see what folks preferred before running the risk of an edit war. I'll try again and see what sticks.
