Channel 52

Just as a note to editors, if there is a channel 52 backup feature in an issue, make sure to add it in as a team.  If you like add the characters as well.  I don't read very much DC anymore so I don't see these very often, but I assume that some people do.  

I'll get on that. It's in pretty much every title I'm reading at the moment, starting to get kind of irritating...

EDIT: Do we add the characters/teams who are shown in it as well?

Your call (I did)

@Manhunter2070: They are in-continuity though, albeit in a breaking the fourth wall presentation. Tag them as you like, characters or just as a team, but they should be tagged in case anyone ever goes looking for them. I am looking at this from more of a historical perspective. These features likely will not be around for long, and so some future collector might have interest in seeing them all together.

I wouldn't tag the characters, but that's just me. Wouldn't this fall under dream/simulation/imposter heading where they didn't actually make an appearance in the issue? I know that people (myself included on many occasions) go and look at character appearances to track down issues their favorites (or one they've garnered an interest in) have appeared in and this kind of dilutes that, for lack of a better word.

^Indeed.

The characters appear but don't actually develop or play any important role; they're just a veneer for solicits, and a pretty transparent one at that.

Have to agree with Mercy, i always look up characters the same way and i know many others do as well. It would make it less user friendly.

I would be prone to agree if they were mostly not arbitrary characters.  So perhaps tag the members of the news but not the characters that appear in the segments.  Main point anyway, is to tag Channel 52.  

I was just about to fill in all the appearances of the page (don't know why it took me so long, sorry) when I noticed that all the previously added appearances had been deleted. Is there a reason for this or should I re-add them?
