Look, I'd do this myself, but we need consensus for the name of the "animated DC hub" and what major subdivisions there should be on it.

The other wiki uses DC Comics Animated as the umbrella term (with DCAU as a subcategory), so that's as good as anything.
The official title for stuff like Justice League The New Frontier and Justice League Crisis On Two Earths is DC Universe Animated Original Movie, but that's probably too similar to DC Animated Universe.
I didn't write any of that.
The recent movies have a page as DC Universe Original Animated Movies. The main problem is people are mistaking a lot of those films as being extensions of the actual DCAU line and not in their own continuity (It doesn't help that "Brainiac Attacks" was done in the exact same animation style, and others have only slight art style differences). It can certainly help to make seperate pages but keeping people informed when they arrive at the DCAU is also important, so we instruct the reader as to what goes where. DCAU as a term is rather broad despite referring to a specific group of productions.

"DCAU as a term is rather broad despite referring to a specific group of productions."
No, the definition is clear and people are misusing it.
More input on the name of the hub page for "any and all animated DC productions"?

If no one else cares enough to offer input now, then they won't care enough to complain about anything we do to fix this page.
I didn't write any of that.
Part of the problem is the popularity of the art style, which could be its own trope.

Still need a cleanup at DCAU to get rid of The Batman and Crisis on Two Earths. Yes, C.O.T.E. took a lot from the unproduced movie that was going to bridge Justice League and Justice League Unlimited, but it was differentiated after the fact to be a separate universe.

As currently written, the article explicitly states that they're not part of the DCAU, and the [index] tags are positioned to exclude those two entries. Nonetheless, their connection to the DCAU is more substantial than that of, say, Teen Titans or Justice League The New Frontier, so I felt they were still worth mentioning.
I didn't write any of that.
Except that in both cases their connection is More Like A Footnote Than Anything Else, entirely the result of production trivia. The Batman is more clearly out of DCAU canon than any other non-DCAU post-BTAS animated series set in the DCU. They're basically footnotes on the JLU page.

And besides, the only connection The Batman has with the DCAU is that it created the Bat-Embargo that kept the Batvillains out of Justice League Unlimited.

Was anything finished about this?
The sad, REAL American dichotomy
Unless somebody wants to argue the meta-connection section needs to be axed, it looks like it's good to go.
Yeah, unwritten rule number one: follow all the unwritten procedures. - Camacan
"DC Animated Universe" is not "any and all animated shows and films based on DC characters." I've brought this up before, but the page continues to be a clearinghouse for any animated project featuring DC characters made after the beginning of Batman The Animated Series.
Look, it's very clear that the DCAU consists of seven televised series, two web series, four movies, and a smattering of video games directly based on these.
We need to shunt all this stuff into a central index page (possibly to be called DC Comics Animation) for all media projects based on DC comics characters (and create other such pages for the other comic companies). A discussion of how they relate to each other via creative teams or design styles belongs there as well.
