List of Universe
We could probably get a list together of the old universes, similar to the one at the Marvel Database. Roygbiv666 04:20, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

52 Multiverse
some of these Earth designations already exist, albeit as redirects. I'd suggest either keeping the original entries and adding a "52 Multiverse" section (or whatever this gets called), or making sure that anything "Pre-Crisis" remains spelled out if less than 52 and these new ones all use numerical designations.

 * Is there a way to make a separate page listing the Universes, or another Table of Contents type function, so that the list can be hidden? Roygbiv666 21:45, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


 * The way to hide the ToC is to use the code anywhere on the page.
 * In order to simply move the ToC to somewhere you prefer is to insert the code to the line where you want the ToC to begin.
 * Is that what you meant?

 * Well, I just meant that having a long list of Universes, in this case, could be a boring visual - I was wondering if maybe they can be put into a list or something that can also be hidden/unhidden from view. Roygbiv666 00:35, 6 May 2007 (UTC)


 * If you mean a collapsable list like this, yes that would be great! I have asked Wikia for such a feature, but haven't really heard back. I think it is time that I bug them again. :)

Redundant realities (naming convention)
Having just read the Grant Morrison quote from the article, I see some potential future problems developing: What to do with realities that share a name? (Earth-Two vs. Earth-2, etc.) I don't really see any problems with dimensions such as Earth-23 or Earth-50, but some of the more widely used ones, Earth-2, Earth-3, Earth-X etc. could possibly create a lot of confusion if mishandled. It's clear now that the Earth-2 reality glimpsed in 52 Week Fifty-Two is not the same dimension as classic Pre-Crisis Earth-Two.

So the options appear to be:
 * Create a separate page for Earth-2, which includes ONLY information relating to the Post-52 reality, or...


 * Create a section header under Earth-Two and insert all relevant information there.

Personally, I opt for the latter choice, but I would like to hear what others think.

Opinions? --Brian Kurtz 18:34, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * To be a geek, "Earth-Two" and "Earth-2" are two separate things. We should probably leave anything from the Pre-Crisis days alone, make sure it goes to "Earth-Two" or "Earth-Three" or whatever, and the new 52 Multiverse go to "Earth-2" or "Earth-3". I'd already updated some badly named links, and can correct any remaining ones as we learn more about these "new" earths.

 * I agree. Sounds good. --Brian Kurtz 20:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * At this point I concur section headers until there is specific and deliberate settling on Earth-3 etc because at present all we have is what has bee n released in 52 issue 52. And knowing Didio we will probably be seeing "Earth-Three" also used for the home of the new matter based hair receding Ultraman.  Then again, he made sure the artists who did Kal-L in that two page mess in 52 issue 36 got the right SIX sided S for him and not that wrong thing used in Infinite Crisis.  Reminds me I gotta go find a large scale pic of Kal with the six side S for his entry. Maybe the moon shot from the 1940s?  Too old? -- Kal_l_fan 13:02, 05 Jun 2007

New Crime Syndicate
See Footnote 15 (Geoff Johns sidebar in Wizard Magazine #189:"A world full of evil dopplegangers of Earth-2. I'd wager they have an annual team-up with the Anti-Matter Earth's Crime Syndicate as the Justice Society had a team-up with the Justice League back in the day." ) - is that a typo, or does he mean the new Syndicate are parallels to the new Earth-2?

 * The Earth designation of Grant Morrison's JLA: Earth 2 is an informal one and, in my opinion, is not to be taken literally as it was simply mentioned in passing during the story. To be specific, it is New Earth that is called Earth 2 by the Crime Syndidate.  These things are all a matter of perspective.--RedKnight 14:20, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
