I must've missed where this was proposed. Where can I violently object? --Suki Brits 04:25, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Here's the place. And this is the proposal- thus why it's in Sandbox, not the name mainspace. Object away.
The question at hand is what do you do about this, or this or this?
This kinda template is a can of worms I don't want to open even if you put a must-explicitly-establish-consensus-first restrictor on it. But on the other hand-- we've got a lot of these characters who we're pretending are absolute ciphers about which nothing can be known. That's disingenuous— we know damn well they're supposed to be their G1 counterparts- or within an inch of their life of being them. Can't we... point? "Hey, yeah, this guy is a cipher- but if you're wonderign what he's like- he's probably a lot like this guy."
(Of course, a lot of the reason this is comming up is the continuing denial that the Movie belongs in the Generation 1 Continuity Family. For good or ill- a lot of the writers of the expanded stuff are forging strong connections to the G1 stuff, and creating/caeoing/namedropping characters who are not meant to stand independent of their G1 progenitors.)
So, um, yeah. This is a lousy solution. Do you have any other ideas about ways to address the issues above? -Derik 04:44, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
