We should add a story arc field with the following basic definition:
Story Arc:
- Any grouping of stories associated by some sort of title.
- Traditional story arcs, i.e. "Awesome Story, Part 2 of 5"
- Crossovers and events, whether identified by story titles, trade dress or other emblems
- A particular story is still part of an arc if the title was left off or inexplicably switches, but the other parts were labeled in such a way that the unlabeled story is clearly intended for inclusion. (I can point to a bunch of examples of this)
- A story may be part of many different arcs
- Complex crossovers may have sub-events and/or may have multi-part stories within the crossover
- May be used to designate different levels of attachment.
- "Crisis on Infinte Earths" vs "Crisis on Infinite Earth Tie-Ins" vs "Crisis on Infinite Earth (Red Skies)"
- There may also be a "Crisis on Infinite Earths (all)" grouping all of the above. So a single story would be in one of the three from the previous bullet, plus the "all" story arc.
Left undetermined at this time:
- Whether multiple arcs indicating different levels of attachment should be tied to each other or handled completely independently. This may end up being more of a technical implementation question, or may require resolution in a future vote.

A mock-up of how I think the story arc page should look, and how to link it at the sequence level.

Second, an example of the mock-up using the Joker War crossover, since it was easy to find a story list for it:
