Creating Franchise Pages Wherever Appropriate

Go To

This thread is for questions regarding creating or cutting pages in Franchise/ namespace and Franchise Index.

As a reminder, being a Series Franchise doesn't mean a Work can have a Franchise/ page. For that it needs existing (not Red Link) and connected (official releases for the same trademark) Work pages in 3 different Mediums, not 3 pages for the same property in general.

If it doesn't meet those criteria, the section about related releases can be on page of the first installment.

    Original first post 
Now, I don't know about you, but we don't seem to have that many Franchise pages.

For instance, Video Games. Take a look at this page. I guarantee that we don't even have that many listed in the Franchise namespace.

Also, I set up Franchise pages for Duke Nukem, Deer Hunter, and Grand Theft Auto.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to list multiple games in a Franchise page as opposed to a Video Game page?

Yeah, that's the problem. Unlike with Nicktoons, most Cartoon Network crossovers and adaptations of the era didn't use the Cartoon Cartoons branding.

There's a theoretical path for Franchise eligibility, but it relies on The Powerpuff Girls Movie counting, which means we're back into the "animated feature films count separately" proposal. I'm unaware of whether that movie was branded as a Cartoon Cartoon.

Nothing is saying it is or isn't

It released before the end of the programming block however

Maybe the advertisements or the cartoon cartoons comics need a page first

Would Powerpuff Girls Z, which is an anime, be considered part of the franchise for namespace purposes? Granted that came out after the rebranding and it didn’t air on English Cartoon Network.

No, that's part of the Powerpuff Girls franchise but not Cartoon Cartoons as a whole.

Should X-Men Film Series be moved to the franchise namespace as it has 3 namespaces (films, series, and video games) that have their own pages?

I think it can be done.

Franchise.Steam World was recently made, but it only has one medium (video games). Furthermore, there is no trope list, so should the page even exist?

For the time being

I suppose so

Unless someone manages to make a comic book page in the nick of time

This is a stretch, but could it be salvaged as Franchise.Puffy Ami Yumi with Music.Puffy Ami Yumi as the "base" work?

(Music/ being the base is weird, but technically allowed.)

I don't see why not

Question

Given Adam Ruins Everything and how it redirects to series, it it say got a video game, would it be enough for a franchise page or would the redirecting wow it be essentially one, and it would need for example, a comic book run as well

What is the third medium for Franchise.Law And Order I could only find tv shows and one video game?

I don't see a third, either.

There's Film.Homicide The Movie, but the page wasn't linked on the Franchise page. Just fixed that.

This is the Law & Order franchise, not the John Munch franchise. Homicide: The Movie is quite obviously the movie of Munch's debut series, Homicide: Life on the Street, and barring Munch's presence has no links to L&O.

(For that matter, Homicide itself is shoehorned onto the page via Munch.)

Would it be possible to make a Franchise.Catwoman page. She has comics, Film.Catwoman 2004, VideoGame.Catwoman 2004, and WesternAnimation.Catwoman Hunted. I know that she is also part of the Batman franchise but Venom is part of the Spider-Man franchise and has his own franchise page.

given how there seems to be consensus on separating animated movies from animated shows

I would like to bring up Codename: Kids Next Door

Not only is there an animated series but also movie (Operation: Z.E.R.O.) and a pilot (No P in the OOL) as well as a video game (Operation: V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E.) it's also made crossover appearances but they don't seem to contribute to if something constitutes a franchise page or not
