Talk:Assimilation² (comic story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
For the purposes of this article, I'm making a point not to discuss or outline Star Trek specific technology, characters or continuity until we can come to a consensus about how such information should be presented.
For instance, I have listed the Star Trek Universe characters under their own subheading, but have not created article links for the characters regardless of whether or not they are specific to this story.

- Should we really have information that wasn't in the comic in this article. For example, the article discusses the backstory of the Borg and Deltans for Voyager and TMP that wasn't in the comic. There were also some more minor appearances of other races, such as Vulcans and Andorians. Should we mention them, and if so then should we give details like that Vulcans suppress their emotions, or that Andorians come from an ice planet?Icecreamdif talk to me 21:33, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
- If it were up to me - and I acknowledge it isn't - we'd only mention stuff in the comic itself, and we wouldn't create articles for, say, Delta IV or the Borg. But I'm not in charge here (as much as I'd like to be!). Ben Paddon talk to me 00:41, June 1, 2012 (UTC)

- Well, Delta IV and the Borg are in the comic itself, so naturally they have articles here. Not sure I really understand how you can say you'd "only mention stuff in the comic itself" but then not have pages for things that are explicitly named and pictured by the comic.
- In any case, these issues have been a topic of discussion for months now at forum:IDW Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover. Please redirect your inquiries there, since the questions that have been asked so far on this page have implications well beyond just this article.

- Because there's a difference between mentioning something in the Assimilation2 article and creating whole new articles for characters that aren't strictly speaking part of the Doctor Who Universe. I was suggesting this as a stopcap solution until the story has finished and we have a better idea of how the two universes are intertwined. But whatevs, guy. 98.151.218.190talk to me 18:58, June 2, 2012 (UTC)
