ALL POSTSThe possibility of an Arrowverse/Supergirl merger
<p>Ever since it was announced that <i>The Flash</i> and <i>Supergirl</i> would be crossing over, I know that there's been frequent discussion as to how we'll incorporate it on the wiki. Considering the size of such an undertaking, we admins figured it would be best to have a community discussion to throw around some ideas.
</p><p>On a whole, we're thinking it will be best to wait till the episode airs on March 28th to finalise anything big. However, if it does come down to them being in the same multiverse, why should we not cover them? If the Supergirl universe is just an example of another Earth, it follows logical sense that we should cover it, especially as we cover more than just the single Earth.
</p><p>Beyond that, though, regardless of whether it is another Earth or something else entirely, it still is a crossover between the two shows on an entirely different level, as the star of <i>The Flash</i> is reprising his role, so how might we include it on our wiki? My personal thoughts are to include the page, but then mark it in such a way that it is almost essentially just a special episode of <i>The Flash</i>, like perhaps even categorising it under "Special episodes".
</p><p>So what's everyone's thoughts on the matter as a whole?
</p><p>UPDATE: We have decided that the episode should be given a page, as it is technically a crossover, regardless of anything, but that is the extent of it for now. Continue discussion!

<p>I still maintain we shouldn't bring in Supergirl here, other than probably a single page for Kara. Can't we put it to a vote or something? lol

i think we should only do 1 page on kara because it is a multiverse thing </p>

This was why I was hoping for Supergirl to be on the same Earth. This multiverse thing makes things complicated for us regarding crossovers. But I still think we should merge after the crossover happens.

<p>It would've been nearly impossible to retcon, considering Barry's main goal in life was getting the world to believe in the impossible. On Supergirl, it was said Superman has been operating for 10 years. </p>

<p>Well, I still think we should merge. If we decide not to merge, we should at least cover everything that happens in the crossover.

<p>wow, this became a very big discussion
</p>
(Edited by Davinco18)
<p>I know I've already made my stance on the issue clear, but as I've said above, Supergirl is a confirmed part of this connected multiverse, and there isn't a wiki yet dedicated to covering its entirety. My vote is also for combining the wikis.
</p><p>Besides, if it's a success, more crossovers are bound to happen, as with the annual Arrow/Flash team-up. All I'm saying is, logically, this makes the most sense. And while it might be cumbersome at first, I'm up to helping in any way I can.
