Whats Stella doing here? She exists in show contuity.

:Dude. What the fuck do you think Linkage IS? A goddamn video game? [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 00:39, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Medium is irrelevent

You may think the medium is irrelevant, but I would argue otherwise. Apparently, so would others.--[[User:G.B. Blackrock|G.B. Blackrock]] 18:43, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Explain? Why does stella reside in a different contuity than the show-Microns she encounters? [[User:X-BoB58|X-BoB58]] 19:56, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

The problem is that the term "comic-only" is itself unclear. It was originally used among fans at a time when there was only one comic, and that comic was its own continuity. ''Linkage'' is a comic, but it is not set in a "comic" continuity -- it's set in the ''Armada'' cartoon continuity.

So, the question becomes whether "comic only" is supposed to refer to the media or to the continuity. In the past, the two were interchangeable. I would tend to think that the continuity is more "important" than the media, but that doesn't solve the issue that the term itself is broken these days. Without making it more specific, I don't think it is useful anymore.

--[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 20:36, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I... really don't see what the big godsdamned deal is. Stella is a character who... drum roll... appeared only in a COMIC. Classifying her otherwise would just lead to a string of clarifications that ultimately boil down to "she was only in a comic" anyway. I think the simple clarification of "cartoon-only" and "comic-only" in regards to media is fine, because EVEN WITHIN THOSE DEFINITIONS you have all these different continuties. We've got what, four (debatably five) different cartoon continuities... and HOW many comic continuities? "Cartoon-only" and "comic-only" are perfectly fine base-level categories for non-toy characters. You can sort out what damn continuity they belong to after that.

--[[User:M Sipher|M "Why Make This Shit More Complicated Than It Needs To Be?" Sipher]]

Becuse if we say that Stella is comic only peaple might think that she's exclusive to the Dreamwave comic [[User:X-BoB58|X-BoB58]] 00:01, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

No, 'cuz the art's too good. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 00:17, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
