Too much detail / huge

This template was way too big and had too much detail on team membership and a current storyline. With that removed, this is a great template. Removal follows previous discussions that have led to the deletion of membership-based templates. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 19:55, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Echoing ChrisGriswold, the "Creators" category is untenable, and I've commented it out until we can discuss this. We already have the article List of Marvel Comics people, which has 100-200 names. Are all those dozens and dozens of writers/artists going into that box? What's the criteria??? --Tenebrae 03:47, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Defunct Lines

We have 3 sections for former divisions (Historical, Defunct Imprints, Defunct Lines) and 2 for current divisions (Current Imprints, Current Lines). It's less precise but I think "Current Divisions" and "Former Divisions" would simplify navigation. Thoughts? RevelationDirect (talk) 15:06, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Line / Imprint

What's the difference in these categories? Argento Surfer (talk) 18:53, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Entries for Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe and Official Marvel Index

I think the OHOTMU and the Official Marvel Index should get an entry in this template cause I see them as essential articles regarding secondary literature about Marvel Comics characters and comic books. Maybe under "Related"?

BTW: Are the Marvel Books not an adaptation of the stories/characters of Marvel Comics into book format? Shouldn't the entry then consequently be listed under "Adaptations"? - Weapon X (talk, contribs) 18:34, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Added the two enties (Marvel Index and OHOTMU) to section "Related". - Weapon X (talk, contribs) 16:55, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Template:Marvel Entertainment

Let's do it for simplicity's sake as Marvel comics is a division anyway. All the information should remain intact. 24.126.30.250 (talk) 06:26, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
