Talk:A Team Effort

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. And yes, the comics not being Timelines is something to keep in consideration. —Interrobang 17:01, 17 December 2010 (EST)

I thought the reason for (TransTech) and (SG) was that TransTech and Shattered Glass are considered franchises/continuity families on their own within the continuity mix that is Timelines, and that therefore they can be used as identifiers in Timelines's stead, whereas other f/cf's are only for a very, very small portion part of Timelines. Due to the fact that we have a WOH continuity page, I wasn't entirely sure whether Wings of Honor was a subfrachise name (a la Kiss Players) or merely a useful way to identify an otherwise nameless G1 continuity with. In the first case, (WOH) would be the appropriate identifier, in the second (Timelines). Or at least, that's how I understand it. Geewunling 03:10, 18 December 2010 (EST)

So... should/can I move them all to (Timelines)? Geewunling 16:00, 20 December 2010 (EST)
