"more than one writer"

[edit]

I find this part of the definition unsustainable.

Here's just a single example where you can discuss a shared universe between characters all created by a single writer, I'm sure there are many others. Michael Connelly has created both Bosch and the Lincoln Lawyer. Do these characters share a universe? In the books, yes. In the tv shows, no. Point is: we can and should definitely be able to use the term "shared universe" in this context despite only one writer being involved.

I am boldly removing the part of the definition that excludes single-writer shared universes. CapnZapp (talk) 06:46, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seems reasonable. 2601:240:E200:3B60:E0FD:4466:64:7446 (talk) 12:35, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
