Is this to consider an idea for a header noting a mostly "out-of-universe" article as opposed to episode articles, for example, which are typically in-universe perspective? --Spencerian 13:48, 16 January 2007 (CST)

I don't know if articles are typically in-universe so much as they are usually so grounded in canon/cited that they are "on-screen" only.
