RG1's place
I actually changed my own mind on this while I was doing the section - the reason I dropped it under the G1 heading rather than at the bottom is that it's a part of the G1 franchise, whereas G2 and Classics are their own franchises. Ergo, it should go as a h3 under the h2 G1 header rather than an h2 below Classics. - Mammalian Verisimilitude 10:01, 13 July 2012 (EDT)
- Hhhmmn... I'm not suuure... I mean, that's a perfectly valid reason for doing it that way, but I feel like it's just chronologically dishonest, is all. - Chris McFeely 10:16, 13 July 2012 (EDT)
- Thing is, there's loads of "chronologically dishonest" stuff around the Wiki if you take that road - to pick a random example from RecentChanges, Thundercracker (G1) sticks 2009 TFCC Classics stories above 1984 G1 cartoon episodes! - Mammalian Verisimilitude 10:42, 13 July 2012 (EDT)
- Well, as an example, that one is sectional and based on unrelated continuities. It's not like keeping things in chronological order of publication is one of my bugbears, or anything - I freely flout it all the time when it comes to stuff that's intended to read as one unsplintered timeline, like, say, the Japanese cartoon continuity. - Chris McFeely 11:02, 13 July 2012 (EDT)
