We used to have a complete index of every story [1], but not any more. Why not include them all? Richard75 (talk) 12:17, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Richard75 which ones did I miss? Oversight on my part, will get on it =) BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 20:02, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ah the middle-sized ones! huh, definitely remember writing them up, will dig through my offline drafts =) BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 20:05, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Richard75 sorry, I'm back to being confused... I've indexed the issues and checked the old version and for the "non-included" stuff it's: -
Big E in Action and the belatedly-named "It's Your Turn" demo, which I personally regard as editorial content
Victor Drago's Black Museum of Villains, which is a feature with Vic's head pasted on it.
The former especially needs to be worked into the text of the article but personally I don't see them as 'stories' per se. Naturally if someone thinks otherwise, that's cool.
The stuff like the story titles (Victor Drago and the Bingely Beep etc.) IMHO is trivia, seeing as 1) only a handful of stories are titled and 2) it would set a worrying precedent for all the pages about comics which didn't last 22 flung-together-in-a-blind-panic issues.
As I say, happy to be corrected but that's the angle I was coming from. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 23:01, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I hadn't realised those were not stories. Never mind then. Richard75 (talk) 23:56, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I guess it's subjective and I'm open to the thoughts of others on it, but again it seems like a bit of a slippery slope - if we count Big E as a story because Gibbons is pretending to be a superhero, then why not the other features with Sam and Billy and co. who are effectively also playing fictional characters, and following that through even The Skipper from Tiger is technically a character =) BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 00:06, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
