Crossover Wiki:Exceptionally large shared universe

An exceptionally large shared universe is a large group of series that have so many type 1 links interconnecting them, that it would be significantly difficult to individually list and document each link. Instead, each of these series omits such link articles and is simply identified as being part of that shared universe.

There are several requirements for considering an exceptionally large shared universe:
 * The shared universe should be officially recognized by the owner in some way. For example, the Marvel universe being a shared universe is officially recognized by Marvel.
 * The shared universe should contain a significantly large number of series that are so interconnected with type 1 links, that it would be difficult to individually list and document each link.
 * Each series should have being part of the shared universe as part of its focus. For example, the Spider-Man series is part of the Marvel universe because the setting is usually depicted as being in the Marvel universe, while the Transformers series is not part of the Marvel universe because only certain comics were depicted as being in the Marvel universe.
 * Note that series that have being a crossover as part of their focus would only be part of the shared universe if the crossover is mainly between series in the shared universe. For example, the Injustice series is part of the DC universe because its focus is being a crossover between series in the DC universe, while the Marvel vs. Capcom series is not part of the Marvel universe because its focus is being a crossover between Marvel series and Capcom series.

Exceptionally large shared universe articles
If a series is part of an exceptionally large shared universe, it does not list links to other series in the shared universe in its article. Instead, Template:Shared universe note is placed right before the table of links to link to the exceptionally large shared universe's article. Note that while any spin-offs or parent series that are also part of the shared universe would not be listed in the table of links, they would still be listed in the infobox.

The title of an exceptionally large shared universe article is generally based on its official name, and usually ends with "universe".

The article should start with a brief description of the shared universe and what kind of series are part of it. Then it would be followed by a section titled like "List of series in the Marvel universe". This section lists each series in the shared universe with their title, date of first shared universe crossover, and description of first shared universe crossover.

The example above uses the following code:

Every exceptionally large shared universe article should be categorized in Category:Exceptionally large shared universes.
