On top of that, I've seen external criticism of the wiki, from people who are generally on the ball when it comes to media criticism, for overdoing the "in universe events order", which, for something as complex as IDW's fiction, isn't terribly helpful for anyone who wants to read the actual stories and not our recaps.
