The Marvel Comics stuff has both a "[[Marvel_Comics_continuity\|continuity]]" and a "[[Marvel Comics timeline\|timeline]]" page, for example.

			:::"Rodimus vs. Cyclonus" links here (not my doing) because it was written in-continuity with the movie. Linking here is a ''good thing'', to explain to the wiki user exactly ''how'' it is related to the G1 cartoon continuity when they read in the issue itself that the story was concluded in the '86 film. [[The Transformers (Madman)]] links to the [[The Transformers (cartoon)\|cartoon]] page under "continuity" (which is inappropriate), but should link here also to explain how it is related.
			:::If I can throw in my 2¢, in a wiki where "everything is [[canon]]", being written in-continuity with the cartoon should be enough for it to be in-continuity with the cartoon. A few years passing in the real world shouldn't matter. Both the Madman comic and Rodimus vs. Cyclonus should be listed here and have entries in the [[Generation 1 cartoon timeline]] (in italics with a note). - [[User:Starfield\|Starfield]] 12:26, 26 December 2010 (EST)
