Well, we can. But as I've said elsewhere I foresee this leading to even more issues. If we make TRNs for tie in material, what's the purpose of the non-canon templates? And as I brought up before, who or what is going to decide what falls into, say, Earth-199999, and what falls into the TRN we give its tie-in materials?

Making new rules/realities on the basis of two unique examples of this problem just seems like more work then we need. On top of that, the non-canon templates (with some tweaking to fit our site over Wookiepedia) are a tool that can be recycled for instances across the site. We'd be making things far more complicated for ourselves.

To rehash what I've said above: The TRN option just opens us up to a lot of room for error and debate with the users. Additionally, I see having multiple pages for the "same" character being a massive pain, and leaving the admin team with a load of extra work having to go behind users and make sure they add the right info/appearances/photos to the right version of a character.
