That seems really dumb to me. What is the possible use in pages about characters from another series, if the way they cover the characters is based on the idea that the characters only exist in that one cross-over story? It's just not true that these characters exist outside the context of their home series. If a cross-over episode is covered, but the other series is not, then the characters that originated in that series shouldn't have pages.

That's untrue pal. It's like with "Coffee". We'd cover it as much as we've seen in the DWU. We wouldn't start writing about how it was seen in an episode of Home and Away. We just wouldn't.
