Introduction

As I've both watched and helped our collection of Real world series with DWU connections pages grow, I couldn't help but think that these pages could do with their own types of infoboxes. It would have the usual fields like release date and publisher/company of origin, but then maybe sections that highlight relevant media and what year(s) they were "active".

It should look something like this (using Sonic the Hedgehog as an example):

• {{Infobox Crossover
• |publisher = SEGA
• |medium(s) = Video games, comic books, television, film
• |debut = 23 June 1991
• |media = GAME: LEGO Dimensions, WC: New Adventures Await
• |time = 2016}}

Discussion

I like this idea and I have a couple of suggestions myself. These are fields I commonly use and feel are helpful.

• |name =
• |image =
• |main character =
• |setting =
• |enemy =
• |writer =
• |plural writer =
• |genre =
• |bts =
• |trailer =
• |fullvid =

These few could be good for television series. They may need a similar sort of "|plural writer =" field for any of these fields that have multiple individuals working those jobs.

• |director =
• |editor =
• |producer =

A new field could be good for series with a sole creator, such as Alex Hirsch.

• |creator =
