Hi. I'm not trying to beat you up over this issue, but I thought maybe you understood what you were doing and just misapplying it to reprints. Judging by your edit on Marvel Two-In-One though, it looks like you don't understand APN usage so I thought a few words of explanation are in order. I asked site bcrat Nathan to implement APN so it would be possible to set up chronological linkage for characters in an easy way without having to add notes at the bottom of an issue page. APN stands for "Appearance Previous Next". To implement this, you need to be working off a chronology source. I've been using the Marvel Indexes, but there are internet resources such as the Marvel Chronology Project as well. The redirects for APN go to where the character previously appeared in his/her chronology and where they next appear in his/her chronology. If you are unconcerned with building a chronological chain, such as reprint titles, then the regular 'a' for appearances works just fine. Feel free to leave me a message on my wall should you have any site policy questions and...welcome to the wiki! :)
