Talk:List of Elseworlds publications

message: Since the current link is to a disambiguation page, can someone determine if the references point more appropriately to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (the book), The Wizard of Oz (1939 film) (the most famous movie), or something else? Dpv 18:33, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Wizard of Oz

message: I was thinking about creating and Elseworlds template which would hold the various titles. Probably: Template:Elseworlds. I've worked on a few Template:Alien and Template:Judge Dredd so am happy to sort it out if people thought it was a good thing. (Emperor 14:42, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not a bad idea. Could be distinctly unwieldly, though. If you could get it to work, I would advocate splitting them in the Batman/Superman/JLA/Other/(Other - Just Imagine, Annuals [for which there ought to be a page], Amalgam, etc.) but then also subsectioning them into Fiction-graft/Alternate Past/Alternate Present/Alternate Future. Could get confusing very quickly, however! ntnon (talk) 03:10, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Trivia is frowned upon at Wikipedia: Wikipedia:Avoid trivia sections in articles, but there are quite a lot on the Elseworlds entry. As per the instructions some of this should be moved into the main articles. The rest has an intersting function of identifying where the characters differ and where other media is referenced so what I've doen on Leatherwing is turn it into a section called "Connections" and moved some of the material out into the article. I'll be goig through and checking others over time but if you spot something like this then feel free to address it or drop a note back here for someone to take a look at it.

message: It is good to find a list of Elseworlds stories in a single page. But I don't understand how the list are sorted (inside each section)? Or are they just not sorted at all? I suggest they should be sorted, inside each section, by publication year. Any comments?? PhS (talk) 17:55, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

message: In the Batman section, could I please remove the second sentence of the summary of Batman/Lobo? I got spoiled by it and think it should be removed.--Thylacine24 (talk) 00:29, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Per WP:SPOILER, text being a spoiler is not sufficient to support its deletion. Spoilers are allowed. — SpikeToronto 04:49, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sorry to be a smart-aleck, but is removing a spoiler also frowned upon? I don't see the harm in removing it.--Thylacine24 (talk) 18:28, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Since spoilers are allowed, removing them just because they are spoilers would not be allowed. A spoiler could only be removed if doing so served an editorial purpose, one that benefited the article encyclopedically. — SpikeToronto 06:06, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

text: P.S.  To quote Wikipedia:Spoiler: “It is not acceptable to delete information from an article because you think it spoils the plot.” [Emphasis in original.] However, the spoiler has to serve an encyclopedic purpose (which plot outlines — where most spoilers reside — do). Take a few minutes and read Wikipedia:Spoiler. — SpikeToronto 06:15, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well, if you say so. Maybe I'll email the people who make those rules. Oh, and sorry.--Thylacine24 (talk) 17:50, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sorry? About what?! You asked a valid and good question. Moving forward, you might want to review some discussions on this matter at the the talk page (Wikipedia talk:Spoiler), or start a new convo there. Finally, if it helps at all, I do sympathize with you on spoilers; I’ve had some plots ruined by them myself. But then, perhaps hypocritically, I sometimes find myself so dreading a possible ending that I’ll come to Wikipedia to seek out the plot outline and find out how the book, movie, etc., ends to determine whether or not I want to keep reading/watching. — SpikeToronto 18:23, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Oh. Well, thanks for taking it well, then.--Thylacine24 (talk) 19:41, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
