I tend to think its use can be more diverse use, but that's a debatable point (personally my main issue with him is the quality of the edits themselves: he does research his subjects, but the ensuing edits are often unreliable, and the additions' meaning is sometimes hard to understand).

ADour wrote:Additionally, that template's original intent was to use it for comic book events, and I think that using it to even cover big-scale conflicts based on real-life like WWII is already pushing the boundaries of the template's purpose. That's one concern I had in mind some time ago: Should there be a distinction in template between Marvel Events (in the meaning "Marvel produces an event (or a story arc)") and factual events happening in-universe. I ended up considering that it shouldn't based on a few mergers between both categories: Civil War (Event) and Civil War II are both the comic books events and the in-universe events, The Accursed is Svartalfheim Civil War in-universe, Fear Itself is The Fear (or Second War of the Serpent), Everything Burns is the War of Burning (or Surtur's War).

In the end, I think the difference should appear in categories and not on the template (where no distinction appears to be easily done). A field on the template could maybe code it.
