So, uh.....should we have a "Decepticon Warlords" category now? ---Blackout- 14:53, 1 November 2010 (EDT)
Identifiers
A few characters from the WOH continuity are disambed with (Timelines) (Bishop, Thunderblast), others with (G1). Shouldn't it all be (Timelines), or at least the same? I know Crossblades and Stilletto have (BW) identifiers, which I don't get seeing as others like them get a (Timelines) label too. And otherwise, would (WOH) be an acceptable identifier?

- Absolutely no to "(WOH)". —Interrobang 14:25, 17 December 2010 (EST)
- And going by the "(TransTech)" and "(SG)" precedent, It would seem that we send most Timelines dudes to the franchise they "belong" to. But we're still not very consistent.
- The exceptions are:
- Astrotrain (Timelines) (toy)
- Bishop (Timelines) (fiction)
- Buzzclaw (Timelines) (toy)
- Cop-Tur (Timelines) (toy)
- Flareup (Timelines) (toy)
- Landquake (Timelines) (toy, no franchise to "belong" to)
- We also have Ricochet (Descent into Evil), which would conflict with Ricochet (Nebulan) if moved to (G1). —Interrobang 16:34, 17 December 2010 (EST)
- Bishop's problem is that there's already a G1 human named Bishop. So if we can't use "WOH", then... uh. Since he's not "Timelines", because he doesn't have a toy, and the magazine comics technically aren't Timelines fiction. --67.252.49.31 16:39, 17 December 2010 (EST)
- I'm against "(WOH)" as a franchise identifier in place of "(G1)" or "(Timelines)", not as further disambiguation within a franchise. Seems to me that WOH Bishop could be "(Transformer)" and Dreamwave Bishop could be "(human)"; better parallel disambiguation tags.
