Unsolicited Chime In:

1) "Because the fans want it" is an incredibly weak argument. By the same logic, The Amazing Spider-Man is part of the MCU, as we consistently see "But where was Spider-Man?" et al being asked.

2) Going by a shared voice actor isn't that much stronger an argument. Steve Blum has voiced Wolverine for too many different properties for them all to exist within the same universe.  This would include all the materials under question here, the X-Men Legends games, the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series, and The Super Hero Squad Show.  Meanwhile, Keith David and Kevin Michael Richardson both served as voice actor for Tombstone on Spectacular Spider-Man, so having different voice actors means just as much.

3) Same thing goes for design - they can be similar across properties (like Iron Man in his 90's animated series and Spider-Man's) and be from different universes, or very different (like the X-Men films having two different Emma Frosts) and be in the same universe.

4) If the source for this material is MarvelApp, then what is said there is final. If you find a flaw in using it, Medinnus, you should take that to an admin.

5) According to a chat I had with Spencerz, picking a TRN is as simple as taking the next available number.

6) A temporary solution to this is simple - provide each character with a different history section for each property (i.e. one for Wolverine in Wolverine & the X-Men and a different one for Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes). If these shows are ever found to be in different universes, simply tag the page to be split accordingly.
