::::The purpose of this wiki is to serve our readers, not to construct a fictional world out of our valid sources, like some kind of hyper-literal nominalist art project. I'm not saying that you're doing the latter, Najawin, but it seems to me that we best serve our readers if we cover all the information about Transformers on a single page, even if the different appearances cannot technically be connected together using only in-universe evidence. Cf the logic for the merger of [[President (The Pyramid at the End of the World)]] into [[Donald Trump]]. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 16:16, 8 May 2023 (UTC) [edited 16:31, 8 May 2023 (UTC)] | ::::The purpose of this wiki is to serve our readers, not to construct a fictional world out of our valid sources, like some kind of hyper-literal nominalist art project.

That's why I've waffled back on "organization" and "group" here. Linguistically the statement made by Primo makes no sense in reference to a species, but the group in question doesn't necessarily have to have a particularly organized structure. (And, indeed, there's been some discussion on how best to interpret Faction Paradox members re Time Lords in our overall category system recently. see: [[Talk:Faction Paradox]].) | |||
Again, I will have no qualms with changing the rules in a reasonable manner. But as they stand, the current iteration of the page makes absolutely no sense. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:42, 8 May 2023 (UTC) | |||
