For those of you who are rushing out to add information whenever a new issue of Superior Spider-Man or Edge of the Spider-Verse title that is coming out, I just wanted to point out that you should be remembering the naming conventions for alternate realities.

I understand that one of the most recent universes identified in Superior Spider-Man was "Universe 000" Please keep in mind when creating pages that relate to this reality you should be using the *OFFICIAL* Marvel standard when it comes to naming realities. Namely "Earth-xxx" The xxx is the reality number it belongs to. In this case Universe 000 entries should adhere to the standard and be represented as "Earth-000". And characters should have their pages labelled as "Steve Fart-Pirate (Earth-000)"

Yes, in an issue of Superior Spider-Man they refer to it as Universe 000, but the Official Marvel Handbook *STANDARD* has always been to refer to alternate realities/universes/timelines by the "Earth-###" standard to avoid confusion when discussing different realities. THIS IS NOT DEBATABLE. It's been Official Marvel standard since 2002. Writers in various comics will refer to things as Universe-### or Reality-### and even the handbooks occasionally use these descriptors, but in general (and again, do avoid confusion) they adhere to the Earth-### format when mentioning the reality in a general sense.

Also if through this storyline you happen upon any realities that you are unfamiliar with PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK the listings for Reality Numbers and Temporary Reality Numbers. Reality numbers are realities that have an official designation from Marvel Comics, Temporary Reality Numbers (or TRNs) are numbers assigned by the Wiki when Marvel has not officially assigned a reality number. It is your responsibility as a contributor to do the proper research before you create a new reality or TRN into the index. So if you aren't sure don't just add it and think its good enough ask around, or if nobody can answer it -- don't add it until you can support your justification. Research is not only necessary, it's your friend.
