This discussion is for the Marvel and DC Databases. We have half of the Marvel/DC Crossovers while the DC Database has the other half. But is it really a good idea to split the crossovers between the sites when we have appearance categories? If we use on a DC character, while the link would still take us to the DC Database, we would also get an unnecessary appearance category such as Category:DCDP:Bruce Wayne (Earth-Crossover)/Appearances. Since we don't cover DC characters, an appearance category for those characters wouldn't be needed on the Marvel Database. We can take those A templates off the DC characters, but what about the quotes? We can take those off and replace them with something spoken by a Marvel character in that comic, but some quotes are memorable, tells something about the story, is important or gets the reader's attention. If the quotes are spoken by a Justice Leaguer, we would have another unnecessary DCDP category. Superman's quote "Great Krypton" sounds irrelevant to the Marvel Database. We should keep the quotes spoken by Marvel characters. But the unnecessary categories are not the problem. We can remove appearance templates and quotes from a page, but the crossover articles on the DC Database would not be listed in the Marvel Characters appearances. And the quotes on the DC Database spoken by Marvel characters are some missed opportunities for us. Those comics have Marvel characters and Marvel's involvement. They warrant articles here.
