Use of Star Trek wiki

Is it really necessary to link to a repository of Star Trek information and trivia to elucidate and expand upon the meaning of "flashback"?

It is a literary device not solely indigenous to the realm of science fiction; far more sensible to link to an external glossary of literary terms, information about narratology, and so forth.

-While Memory-Alpha has a page on flashbacks, the link provided here points to the Voyager episode titled Flashback. Thus, I'll remove it. (Anonymous Idiot)

Cold Case

In Cold Case, each episode begins with a flashback scene establishing the year in which it is set.

I'm guessing that the main story is set in the present, and the flashback establishes the time of the original crime. Yes? —Tamfang (talk) 18:39, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Anyone else sick of flashbacks

In my opinion they are totally overused, for me Lost ruined them completely till they became cliche. Hell, I couldnt even watch Crusoe for more than 5 minutes... the second I saw it was going to based heavily on flashbacks it was like *yawn*. 125.238.20.25 (talk) 09:37, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Nobody cares what you think, nameless one, unless you have a suggestion to improve the article. —Tamfang (talk) 02:30, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, it is his opinion. If you do not care for it, you shouldn't bother to say anything about it. -Alex Bieser (talk) 17:47, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Move?

{{movereq}} Flashback → Flashback (narrative)

• And Flashback (disambiguation) to Flashback. Is the flashback-in-narrative meaning a dominant meaning, or have more people heard of flashback (psychological phenomenon)? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 13:42, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
• Anthony, I was going to close this as an unopposed move. One can't check Google to see which page is more important - there will be no way to differentiate, and both WP pages are substantial. However this page has just short of 1000 pages linking to it, if I do both moves, then all those links will be to the dab page. I suggest I do the first move, and I can over the weekend, alter all the inbound links with AWB, once there are no links to Flashback, then I can move the dab page. Sound reasonable? I can't think of any easier way (short of moving the page twice to make them all double redirects, and hope the bots will fix them!)  Ronhjones  22:30, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
• It could be that some or many of the links to page Flashback are about the psychological variety. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:34, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
