For expansion of this page, is is planned to list the heroes found on this Earth?--RedKnight 19:32, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like a great idea. Shouldn't be too hard to do. If you're feeling brave and bold, feel free to start an Earth-Two character list on the article page. --Brian Kurtz

Would it be easier/neater/more effective to create an overall Category called Earth-Two characters and add it to each character page that applies? Then there's a list of characters under that category for people that want to see them. This page would then just need one link to the category, rather than a (rather boring, in my opinion) long list of characters on the page.

An Earth-Two characters category sounds like a fine idea. To be honest, I'm surprised someone hasn't thought of something like this before now! If you create it, I would recommend including some notation explaining how many Earth-Two characters are also common to New Earth (Post-Crisis) continuity. --Brian Kurtz 18:06, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Sorry to jump in but we already do that with the distrinction title of say for Kal-L as Superman (Earth-Two) to seperate that version for the others--Kal_l_fan 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Kal-L-Fan, I think Brian was saying creating an actual Category rather than entries with "Earth-Two" as part of the name. We could put a tag called "Category:Earth-Two Characters" at the bottom of a character's page and that way, there would be a page with a complete list of Earth-Two characters. Since Golden Age and Earth-Two aren't quite the same thing (The original Blue Beetle for example is Golden Age, but wasn't Earth-Two), maybe a new category would be useful. I'll post the suggestion on the Forum for discussion - is that the right place for that? Roygbiv666 01:29, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Roy I understood that. But agian why create a seperate category called Earth Two character when the character is specifically designated "Superman (Earth-Two)"? All of the characters who were specific to the Classic Earth Two reality are designated by that specific id in their listing already. i.e, Wonder Woman (Earth-Two) as that was far more specific than Wonder Woman (Golden Age) as there were several incarnations of the character who existed at that time and easier to identify as that specific character. And today with the removal of all Classic Earth Two characters removed except for Kal-L who may be revived later this year there are no other characters who such a listing would apply to -- unless Dan Didio follows through on his proposal to bring back the multiverse as it was before the 1985 Crisis which many are saying is highly unlikely. --Kal_l_fan 9 March 2007 (UTC)
