I happened to notice a "Publisher" redlink in an issue article's infobox, linking to the apparently-nonexistent Category:Marvel Staff/Publishers.

Then I checked Special:WantedPages, and found that there are apparently 3,662 such links, currently, on the wiki. Which is at least 17 more than I expected.

The obvious course of action would be to simply create the category, but with over 3000 links it seems odd that it wouldn't already exist, so I thought I'd ask: _Should_ there be such a category?

It doesn't appear that there would be any members, if the category did exist. Publisher is not one of the roles supported in Marvel Database:Staff title links. So, maybe the better solution is that Marvel Database:Comic Template not link "Publisher" to that nonexistent category.

(That linking is being done by Module:Comics, it looks like, specifically its  method. Despite not being passed a  ; maybe that's a recent change to the code?)

From the Marvel Database:Comic Template source:

Maybe it can be passed a " " or " ", to disable linking?
