	:By convention, when you have a title that is split across two lines and is not a continuous phrase the second line is a subtitle and is separated by a colon when fully written out. For example, the original Star Wars logo had the two words one above the other, but they formed a continuous phrase. Therefor, no colon. The Star Trek: The Next Generation logo has the continuous phrase "Star Trek" printed on two lines and the subtitle "The Next Generation" printed on a third. There is thus a colon between Trek and The but not between Star and Trek. --[[User:Khajidha\|Khajidha]] 14:26, 27 September 2013 (EDT)		:By convention, when you have a title that is split across two lines and is not a continuous phrase the second line is a subtitle and is separated by a colon when fully written out.

	''War for Cybertron'' is technically a franchise article as each game has its own article. Just curious then, would you move [[Optimus Prime (Prime)]] to "Optimus Prime (WFC)" because that's when he first appeared? And I do believe we will have an article for continuity family, but if I may, I'd propose the term "Bible continuity family" simply because Hall of Fame, the WFC games and book, and cartoon are using this 400-page Hasbro [[production bible]]. Afterall, the novel is named after the second book of the Pentateuch. ;) [[User:Alientraveller\|Alientraveller]] 14:32, 15 February 2011 (EST)		''War for Cybertron'' is technically a franchise article as each game has its own article.

			:I'd had that thought about [[Transformers: War for Cybertron]] too. I haven't examined that collection of pages thoroughly yet, but it seems like they wouldn't require too much alteration... there's even a franchise-nav already set up.
			:As for "Optimus Prime (WFC)", yes, that would be the logical conclusion. But I'm not personally very invested in making that happen, especially if people prefer the uniformity of "(Prime)".
