Darkseid: Sure they interact with other Marvel characters. While they have made only one appearance her or there, they have either interacted with a Marvel hero (IE: Captain America or the Sub-Mariner), they have been either profiled or mentioned in a Marvel Handbook, and they all for the most part exist in the Earth-616 universe.

Besides, the wider picture here is that it's our editorial position to write summaries for all Marvel publications, all character links for commercial characters (IE: Optimus Prime, Indiana Jones, etc) refer the reader to the appropriate page on another wiki. Because the various wikis for those franchises (Wookipedia, Teletran-1 etc) all cover the Marvel Comics stuff with unique profiles that reference that material.

It's basically a duplication of information. Where as the material I'm contributing is specifically about characters that are unique to the Marvel franchise (no matter how obscure) and this Wiki would be the only site where these characters would have a relevant place.

Using the "Dr. Who" page as an example: Like I said, the material is derived from a movie that was adapted into a comic book. Stands to reason then that any character profile would be more appropriate at the Dr. Who wiki. If I were to be write up anything about that character, I would write a summary for the comic he appeared in and then link all the character appearances to the Dr. Who wiki to the appropriate pages.

LoveWaffle: Yeah sounds like Supermorff is trying to rewrite the book on formatting. If that's the centre of it, I'll chime in with my opinion.
