Thanks Rab, perhaps there's no perfect solution in my eyes. I can see the collections are sometimes created with ranges and not individual issues anyways so it's kind of moot in a way unless these were standardized (example JSA_Omnibus_Vol._2_(Collected)). I was just trying to think of a way to help push a issues and collections link vs relying on updating notes which has been rather inconsistent. I agree bots would be too messy. Honestly, we'd have an issue where multiple stories aren't reprinted consistently too such as Flash_Vol_1_128. We would resort to updating notes like you mentioned anyways :) While it is rarer and more consistent than today's strategy, it's still not perfect and probably not worth the effort to achieve.  I don't know what happens in DB, but linking two object types with a validated link like issue to collection would be way less "cluttery" than unvalidated blob updates on an issue page. Maybe wikias are organized differently than what I'd expect. It seems like a protected HTML update as opposed to proper DB field design so I'm sure you'll make the right decision when you say this is less "cluttery". I guess wikia serves so many customer bases I guess it is what it is to be so flexible.
