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?

[up][up] And where's the trope list? Adding it to Works Needing Tropes or Needs Wiki Magic Love is a temporary measure. The page is a stub and that's why I didn't want it moved over yet.


[up] Done. It has several wicks that need changing, though.

I had considered adding some tropes for the Witchblade itself, but it's already listed on the characters page. Anyway, I've managed to scrounge up a few tropes from my extremely limited knowledge of this franchise.

...How exactly does crosswicking Franchise/ pages work?

Typically in the original medium namespace. You can see what I've done for Franchise.Foundation.

Bringing up Injustice. As it seems to only have comic book and video game.

They do reference that Batman v superman used it as inspiration for a scence. Though I'm not sure Thats enough to count as a third medium as its not quite an adaptation.

[up] I can see your point but the problem is there is really a better place to put the Franchise since It is multimedia in a significant way there being multiple comics and games, but it just happens to be only that, and there isn't a Video Game called Injustice only the franchise as a whole VideoGame.Injustice is currently a Disambig between the franchise and the first game since it is used for both.

Also, Zack Snyder himself confirmed the Knightmare sequences were an adaptation of Injustice.

This may technically be breaking the rules but there isn't really a better option.

I'd call that a Mythology Gag, not an adaptation.

A single- (or double-) medium franchise can split off a franchise page in the original medium namespace. It doesn't get a multimedia page until we have a page for the third medium. ~Ordeaux26, you should have moved the Franchise/ page to VideoGame.Injustice instead of making a disambiguation page.

Alright, but that won't be necessary since there is also a digital exclusive comic series Injustice: Year Zero aka a Webcomic. I will be creating a page for that right now.

Franchise.Discworld now exists — copied over/moved/re-arranged the media list from Literature.Discworld, leaving only the Literature/ works on the latter. Inspiration was taken from Franchise.A Song Of Ice And Fire for the organization.

[up][up]Not so sure about the namespace on that one. It's a comic book in digital format, not a "normal" webcomic. Where do we draw the line between those two?

Webcomic just means online comic so I am pretty sure it counts.

I asked in the namespace thread, hopefully we get some more opinions on this.

Franchise.Pretty Series should be moved to the VideoGame/ namespace as it only has pages in two namespaces.

While the Pretty Series has manga adaptations, none of them have pages on this site.

I don't know if this the place to bring it up, but is DC Live Action Multiverse really a thing worth giving a franchise page to? The connections between these things, at the moment at least, are one crossover event that per word of god is mostly one way said they where connected.

[up] Trash it. Not every shared universe is worthy of a page, and this can all be covered on the Arrowverse page itself.

So can I get a link to the cut list? I have never actually cut a page before.

Franchise.Trolls currently only has works in the Western Animation namespace. There are other mediums listed on the page, but they don't have pages yet.

It's a terrible layout, but it also has literature and comic books. The page should be remade to focus on what mediums have works, because the medium pages already describe the works in those mediums.

Franchise.Pretty Cure should be moved to the Anime/ namespace since it has pages only in the latter namespace.
