What's the relationship between Two Thousand AD and Judge Dredd— is that the publisher, like with Marvel publishing Conan?

Yes, kind of. It did start out as a 2000 AD comic (and, actually, still is), but it's also been published by DC and IDW, if not others as well.

I say have it on both. Similar to what we do with Conan.

Makes sense to me to have it on both, given the precedent for doing that, but I'd like to have the other troper's side as well just in case.

Yeah, I think both. I won't touch it for now though; don't wanna get suspended.

Sorry guys that I am late. Hmm, to answer your question, I would say separate the two from each other, and for the 2000 page in question. You know how in DC, it tells you for animation, go to this page, or for live action, go to this page, etc. Why not do this with the Dredd and 2000 page. Put in for the Dredd page, go here, in 2000, and boom, you can go there without problems? That way, the Dredd name will remain as is in the main page, but it would solve this issue. What do you guys say on the matter?

I don't know if I like that idea. Hell, if it were JUST DC I could live with it, but considering there's ALSO IDW (and I THINK Dark Horse too)...

Yeah. I still say have it on both. It's again not with out precedent.

So it's okay to add it back to the main comic page as well?

The way I see it, any characters that are in both should be listed in both. Any that are NOT in the 2000 AD should go under just the Comic Books page and not 2000 AD, unless it's still considered part of the same continuity and being published under the 2000 AD banner.

You've got four people agreeing and only one dissenting voice (who appears to be confusing a multimedia franchise hub for what amounts to be a cross-creator example). Consensus is already on your side and you've waited three days. EDIT: DracoKanji raises a good point, but I can't categorize them as for/against because I don't know the work any more than they do.

^^ Judge Dredd has his own page, and 2000 AD has its own common continuity otherwise. I see no reason not to index in both the comic and 2000AD pages.

Bumping for consensus.

Edit: It actually seems settled, never mind.
