</p><p>Hey! Users have absolutely brought up some great points!</p><p>
</p><p>In terms of crossovers with other Marvel properties, a similar handling to how Wookieepedia handled the Phineas and Ferb crossover seems like a good step. They document the crossover and link to their in-house articles on Star Wars characters, but then they outsource links to Phineas and Ferb characters to Phineas and Ferb wiki. </p><p>
</p><p>So in the case of a unified X-Men wiki, you would have the case of documenting the crossover, but focusing on the X-Men aspect of it and allowing other wikis to document the other characters where they have their area of expertise.</p><p>
</p><p>Now I acknowledge that when the MCU crossover happens, that is going to create complications and I'd be lying if I said the greatest SEO benefits wouldn't come from merging with Marvel database. All I can say to that is it won't be happening for at least another few years according to Kevin Feige so you can concentrate on the short-term benefits. </p><p>
</p><p>The reason users would come to a unified X-Men wiki over a general Marvel one is because your content would be focused on what they came to read about - the X-Men. That's what a unified wiki would have to offer, a hub for users to use as a place for all things X-Men - the go to place for exclusively X-Men.</p><p>
</p><p>If in 5 years time you guys did decide you wanted to merge with Marvel database, you would have already done the heavy work merging into a unified X-Men wiki which would then make life easier for the potential second merge.</p><p>
</p><p>Hopefully this helps! :)</p><p>
</p>
</p><p>On the topic of the Phineas and Ferb crossover, Star Wars is one universe, and thats a non-canon crossover, unlike the X-Men. The X-Men are way too integrated into the Marvel universe that a X-Men only wiki is redundant. It's like making a wiki only for the Wolverine or Deadpool films.</p>
</p><p>While I see what you mean about being interested in only one team, you will be covering other content as well but would be focusing more on the X-Men as that is the aim of the wiki.</p>
Will the X-Men Wiki be available in app?
I’ve been thinking about the different Marvel wikis for awhile, and I’ve got a solution. This isn’t entirely on-topic, but it has a lot to do with what you’re trying to do.
**DISCLAIMER: this is a very long reply.**
Anyway, I think there should be:
•Marvel wiki—already exists
•Marvel movies wiki—combined MCU wiki and X-Men movies wiki, with additional information about Sony’s Marvel Universe, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy and the Amazing Spider-Man duology (basically just every Marvel movie ever made, plus the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV show).
And that’s it. No other Marvel related wikis. And I’ll tell you why: single character/team wikis are pointless.
Before I get to that, though, let me explain my reasoning for the wikis above. There are two very different types of ways people usually experience Marvel: the ENORMOUS amount of comic books, novels, games, etc., or the mainstream, hyped-up, blockbuster films (I’m not dissing the people who only watch the films. I’m one of them!).
What I’m trying to say is that if we had one Marvel wiki, there’d be an obvious problem: the people who just watch the movies are going to be extremely overwhelmed by the conversations going on about comics they’ve never read and characters they’ve never heard of. This is why we need more than one.
That second wiki would be the Marvel movies wiki. A wiki that incorporates all Marvel film universes, for the casual fans. And now, problem solved. One wiki for everything Marvel, one for the casual fans.
You might think “Well, what if you’ve only seen the MCU films? Wouldn’t you be lost on the Marvel movies wiki Discussions?” And my answer to that is no. If someone makes a post about something you haven’t seen, scroll past it!
Now, what if the opposite is true: you’ve never seen the MCU movies? Well, since the wiki would include so many different film universes, there’d be loads of other stuff to talk about!
If you still think the Marvel movies wiki is a bad idea, then I suggest having:
•A Marvel wiki—already exists
•An MCU wiki—already exists
•An Other Marvel Movies wiki—includes the X-Men movies wiki, with additional info on Sony’s Marvel Universe, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, and the Amazing Spider-Man duology.
Now, you’re probably still thinking “So *why* are single character/team Marvel wikis pointless?”, and I’ll address that now. Any character or team is going to either be a part of the movies, or anything else Marvel. If they’re only part of the movies (say, an Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. wiki), then why make a whole separate wiki for them? If they’re only part of the comics? Same answer. If they’re part of both? Since we’re talking about the X-Men wiki, I’ll use that as an example.
So, the X-Men wiki. The X-Men are in both comics and films. *All* info on anything X-Men should be in the Marvel wiki, right? And any info on the X-Men films should be on the Marvel movies wiki. So why does it exist? It’s pointless.
So, to summarize:
•We can’t have just one Marvel wiki. There must be at least two. To fix this, we could either have a Marvel wiki and a Marvel movies wiki, or a Marvel wiki, an MCU wiki, and an Other Marvel Movies wiki.
•Single character/team wikis are pointless. They should not exist.
Aaaaand done! I hope you take my points into consideration. If you disagree with anything, please tell me! You might have thought about something I haven’t.
</p><p>"plus the agents of shield show" and the 10 other MCU shows you're forgetting... Agent Carter, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Defenders, Inhumans, The Punisher, Runaways and Cloak & Dagger, but that's beside the point.</p><p>
</p><p>Also, what about the other non-MCU tv shows? The Ghost Rider films? Blade? Fantastic Four? Fant4stic? Daredevil/Elektra? I'm guessing you forgot to mention?</p><p>
</p><p>Also, the Marvel wiki has to include the movies for multiverse listing purposes. You can still have the Marvel Movies Wiki, but it's still going to be there.</p><p>
</p><p>Personally, I believe it should be:</p><p>Marvel Wiki</p><p>Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki</p><p>X-Men Movies Wiki</p><p>
</p><p>Everything else gets detailed Marvel Wiki pages. The MCU and X-Men are still on there, but it's less detailed.</p>
</p><p>2. All of those would be on the Marvel Movies wiki, or the Other Marvel Movies wiki.</p><p>
</p><p>3. Yes, I know that. The Marvel wiki definitely should have info on the movies on it. It should have info on everything Marvel on it. </p><p>
</p><p>The Marvel wiki is for everything Marvel, the Marvel Movies wiki would be for only the movies. I don't want to have one wiki be comics and one be movies, I want one to be for the hardcore fans to talk everything Marvel, and one for the casual fans who only watch the movies/TV shows to be able to discuss them. </p>
