Reprint issues should probably then be listed under notes of each item reprinted, so collectors can know that there may be a cheaper alternative. People reading the reprint and wanting to add data to the wiki should go to the original and add the data. This is how I've been (trying) to do this. Creator credits I've been listing in the reprints. Did I use the wrong template for Tor: A Prehistoric Odyssey (Collected)?

Yeah, sorry. I kind of silently introduced the Collected Edition Template, and it's not included in the edit toolbar.

The Collected Template only includes credits (which do not distinguish between who did which issue that's collected, etc), and an issue list, but no synopsis or appearance information.

While I feel doing something similar for reprint issues would help us avoid duplicating work on the wiki, it also cuts off a few options for us.

If anyone has concerns about categories, not being added automatically about certain things (like, say, a character who appears in a TPB who wasn't in the original), categories can be added manually...
