I think it might be a good idea to have tag categories for franchises so you can click and see all of the shows and comics from it on one page. All the scooby doos and the mickey mouse or looney tunes, any of the ones that have a bunch of pages here already. They all dont link to each other and it might be easier to link them like that like channels. what do you think?

Good suggestion! We already have something like that in place that you can use. They're called Navbox templates and there's already one for Looney Tunes which can be found at Template:Looney_Tunes. Essentially, you can place these at the bottom of pages and they give you a link to all of the other pages in that franchise. They make it really easy to navigate wikis and Wikipedia uses them pretty extensively.

If you want to create a new navbox, you can copy the code from that page and swap out all of the colors, links and images. This isn't a very elegant solution because it duplicates a lot of code, but it's the best we can do for right now. I just attempted to import a Navbox template from Wikipedia just now but it seems that it relies on a lot of custom CSS, Lua scripts and other templates so that's not really possible. When I have the time, I'll sit down and write a Navbox template from scratch so they'll all look standarized. For now, you can go ahead and make a template and include it on pages. The template itself can be edited later and it will update in all of the places you put it.

One last thing: if you decide to create a navbox template, please use a more descriptive name than the Looney Tunes template did. So if you made a new one, you would call it Template:Navbox_Series_Name rather than Template:Series_Name.
