Discussion about WikiProject banner templates

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

"This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.

A reliable source worth knowing about

The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction is steadily publishing articles about SF-themed comics, like its newest https://sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/blue_beetle entry (see Blue Beetle (comic book)). See https://sf-encyclopedia.com/category/comics . New entries appear almost weekly (seems there's an active contributor working on that). I do not have time and will to use this or even add them as sources, but hopefully someone here will find this useful. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:44, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Peanuts GT/FT Discussion

A relevant discussion on making the Peanuts topic a Good Topic or a Featured Topic is taking place at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Comics/Comic strips work group#Peanuts Good Topic/Featured Topic. Input from project members would be very much appreciated. Thanks, sjones23 (talk - contributions) 04:22, 15 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Outstanding content page

I think we should do a major rework of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Outstanding content page, given that it hasn't been updated in a few years and some of the FAs featured there (notably Animaniacs) have already been delisted.

Discussion about individual issues of comics

Something I wanted to bring up is how Wikipedia should handle individual issues of comics, pertaining specifically to American comics. In some instances, Wikipedia uses the title of the story for the articles itself like "For the Man Who Has Everything" from Superman or "This Man... This Monster!" from Fantastic Four.

However, in at least two instance I'm aware of, the pages for the individual issues are the title of the comic series itself and issue number; the two examples being The Amazing Spider-Man #129 and Uncanny X-Men #94. Now, in the case of individual issues from anthology series, such as the first issue of Action Comics or the 27th issue of Detective Comics, this makes sense, as they both are comprised of a few separate stories that are present in them.

But this isn't the case with the Spider-Man and X-Men issues I cited earlier. So, my question is this: Should these two issues be changed to the title of their story, or should something like "This Man... This Monster!" be changed to "Fantastic Four #51"? PanagiotisZois (talk) 16:35, 24 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

If it's the story that's notable (like "This Man... This Monster!") as opposed to the publication itself (like Detective Comics 27), I prefer the story title. That would include renaming The Amazing Spider-Man 129 to "The Punisher Strikes Twice" and having the issue number as a redirect. With X-Men #94, I wonder whether "The Doomsmith Scenario" needs its own article as opposed to being covered as part of the legacy of Giant-Size X-Men. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 16:58, 24 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Well, in the case of Detective Comics #27, the fact that Batman's first appearance in it is just one of many stories the issue features is another reason to go by issue number, rather than story title. As for Amazing Spider-Man, I do agree that it should be retitled to its story title for consistency. Same goes with X-Men #94, though I have to be honest, I'm not sure that the issue is necessarily all that notable.

I mean, yes, it was the first issue in the X-Men title to feature a new story in 4 years, rather than being a reprint, and it comes right after Giant-Size X-Men. But as you say, most attention afforded to the new X-Men team of the 1970s has to do with Giant-Size. Heck, if I remember correctly, John Proudstar doesn't even die until issue #95 or 96, so issue #94 doesn't have much going for it. Personally, I recommend renaming the former issue and redirecting the latter. PanagiotisZois (talk) 19:09, 24 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
