Crisis Policy

The following policy is to formally describe how the Arrowverse Wiki has decided to cover information regarding pages following the Anti-Monitor Crisis. As with all things, there are exceptions to each of these rules but we hope to cover all of our bases with this policy. Through much consideration, the following policy displays how the Arrowverse Wiki covers each individual concept.

## Original and New multiverses

The Arrowverse Wiki has chosen to move forward with the designations of "Original multiverse" and "New multiverse" as opposed to the popular "Pre-Crisis" and "Post-Crisis" designations. Until the canon media confirms one designation over the other, we will use these designations. Therefore, "Pre-Crisis" and "Post-Crisis" should not be used anywhere on the wiki, unless in particularly relevant context.

All history sections and infobox parameters are to be split under headers displaying "Original multiverse" and "New multiverse" if necessary. If a page is only in one of the multiverses, then there is no need for either header.

## Franchises covered by Arrowverse Wiki

At this time, the Arrowverse Wiki has chosen to only cover the franchises listed on the Arrowverse page. Any and all other franchises are currently a closed discussion but can be reopened at any point in the future.

Further, any information given in content we choose to cover can be on our wiki. Any information from outside of our covered content should not be on any pages within the Arrowverse Wiki. For example, Lucifer Morningstar mentioned his brother in "Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Three". However, the brother's name was not said. Therefore, the name given in that franchise cannot be used on the Arrowverse Wiki.

## Page Structure

### Locations and Businesses

Regarding locations and businesses, the Arrowverse Wiki has chosen to believe that all locations and businesses in the new multiverse are completely new. The locations and businesses in the original multiverse were destroyed by anti-matter and are therefore gone. Hence, once we know of a location or business existing in the new multiverse, we need a page for it and to include the Doppelplace template where appropriate.

Regarding Earth-Prime, this is a completely new universe, not the *merging* of previous universes. The previous universes were destroyed by anti-matter. Earth-Prime does contain elements closely resembling elements from previous universes, but they did not get *merged* onto Earth-Prime. This kind of language is not promoted at the Arrowverse Wiki.

#### Extra-dimensional planes

Extra-dimensional planes such as the Temporal zone, Hell, and the Vanishing Point are known to exist outside of the multiverse(s). Therefore, the extra-dimensional planes are not new locations because they were not destroyed along with the original multiverse.

### Characters

Regarding characters, the Arrowverse Wiki has chosen to believe that characters existing in the original multiverse and their new multiverse counterparts are the exact same characters. After the airing of "The Bottle Episode" and "Green Arrow & The Canaries", it was confirmed that J'onn J'onzz (and a device that uses similar technology) gave back the memories of the characters from their past lives. Logically, this could only work if they were the same characters, especially with the tech Laurel Lance uses as opposed to simply J'onn's telepathic abilities. For this reason, there will only remain the single page for each character, but they will now be native to both Earth-Whichever and Earth-Prime, with their biography featuring overarching sections for the "Original multiverse" and the "New multiverse".

That said, the Character infobox has two parameters *homeuniverse* and *currentuniverse*. As the template documentation states, *homeuniverse* is to display a character's originating universe. This means that everyone who we knew to exist before Earth-Prime will have their originating universe in the *homeuniverse* parameter. Further, *currentuniverse* is to display where the character exists now. This only applies to characters physically known to be living in an alternate universe or a character that has been confirmed to have existed on Earth-Prime. As for the categories titled "Characters from \_\_\_\_", this is only for characters **originating** from "\_\_\_\_", not existing there. However, the Character infobox will automatically add the appropriate category, so users should not need to manually input this.

There is an exception to this policy in that if a character was mentioned both on Earth-1 and Earth-38 (for example) but never seen and then mentioned by someone on Earth-Prime, it is unclear as to which version the character is referring. In this instance, we will make a new page for the Earth-Prime version until we have clear confirmation which version the character is.

### Objects and Suits

Regarding objects and suits, the Arrowverse Wiki has chosen to believe that all objects and suits in the new multiverse are completely new. The objects and suits in the original multiverse were destroyed by anti-matter and are therefore gone. Hence, once we know of an object or location existing in the new multiverse, we need a page for it and to include the Doppelplace template where appropriate.

Objects and suits that were outside of the original multiverse, such as The Flash suits, Batsuit, and Supergirl suits, do not need their own counterpart page as they were never destroyed. This does create a complication since we know that suits have multiple versions. For example, Barry Allen was only wearing one of his versions while outside of the original multiverse, so the other versions were destroyed. Since the creation of the new multiverse, we have seen some of his previous versions in *The Flash*. Therefore, this rule is contradictory in every way possible. Therefore, the Arrowverse Wiki has chosen to move forward that if an object or suit was outside of the multiverse, it does not need an alternate Earth-Prime page regardless of the circumstances.

### Concepts, Species, and Drugs

Regarding concepts, species, and drugs, the Arrowverse Wiki has chosen to believe that those existing in the original multiverse and their new multiverse counterparts are the exact same. Clearly concepts and species are the same but since drugs are simply formulaic in nature, there is nothing special about a drug being an Earth-1 version versus an Earth-Prime version. However, if Drug A did this particular thing on Earth-1 and now someone else created Drug A to do a completely different thing on Earth-Prime, then we will need multiple versions.

### Groups

Regarding groups, the Arrowverse Wiki has chosen to believe that those existing in the original multiverse and their new multiverse counterparts are the exact same. Groups are comprised of individuals in nature. Therefore since the people are the same, the groups must also be the same. However, if a group is vastly different between the multiverses (such as the Canaries, the Royal Flush Gang, or the Deathstroke Gang), then we will need multiple versions.

### Organizations and Companies

Regarding organizations and companies, the Arrowverse Wiki has chosen to believe that all organizations and companies in the new multiverse are completely new. The organizations and companies in the original multiverse were destroyed by anti-matter and are therefore gone. Hence, once we know of an organization or company existing in the new multiverse, we need a page for it and to include the Doppelplace template where appropriate. This is different than groups in the respect that organizations and companies are formal categorizations of people rather than a group of people who are closely associated. As well, we know organizations such as the D.E.O. are ran completely different on various different Earths.

### Family pages

Regarding family pages, each family page existing in both the original multiverse and new multiverse, will have two sections in the same was families are covered with alternate universes. For example, there is to be an Earth-Prime section and an Earth-1 section.
