It caught my attention that a numerous amount of TRNs (Temporary Reality Numbers) are being added by users to the TRN list. However, not only the media said reality appeared it doesn't have an article, but no further work is done with those TRNs. No page for the reality, no page for the characters, nothing at all.

The TRN system was created so we could document realities which still didn't have an official numberation. So, if you're not going to cover that reality at all, please don't list it in the TRN page. It unnecessarily takes up space.

In addition, some years ago we had to undergo the Great TRN Purge of 2012. And something similar to the problem we had to face is happening again. We are being clot with unnecessary TRNs for some games almost no one knows about, and don't really have a story going on.

Of course, I'm not saying TRNs recently created for games will be deleted (like Spider-Man Unlimited or Spider-Man: Ulimate Power), but I'm asking users to refrain themselves from creating TRNs for relatively unimportant stuff (like games, specially mobile games).

Those useless TRNs listed in the TRN page have been removed, and replaced with an "Available." I didn't put them with the Retired TRNs because they are basically totally unused and there would be no confusion if the number is given to another reality as the previous one had not been worked with at all.

Thank you.

TL;DR:

If you're going to create a TRN:

1) Be sure it's for something important (an alternate future or reality which has some effect in a story, like Earth-TRN355), not something like a video game.

2) Don't be lazy. Create the page for the TRN. Create the pages for its characters. Fill in their history section, don't just put images.
