The Sandman series has finally come to an end, however, I am very frustrated by the fact that many of its characters still have their pages empty of information from both the new season and the previous one, and it seems that only I and a few others are the only ones dedicated to filling in that information.
What's on your mind?

In the Sandman universe, we're told that gods only truly die if we stop believing in them. But if a forgotten deity like Ishtar were to be worshipped again, would she come back to life?
As we approach the New Year, I just wanna thank the mod team and the editors for helping make this wiki awesome! I hope you all get some great gifts, food and have a fabulous New Year!
Let's continue to make this Wiki as accurate and helpful as possible!
Dream on~!

Do pralaya and mother night related?
Any idea whether DC (or someone) is going to re-issue Annotated Sandman #2?
There is some confusion regarding Rose's home town or state. At first I've tried to investigate this on my own, and then PonyEnglish provided me with some possible explanations of the contradictions. However, Nightsilver pointed out that the resulting speculation grew too large for a "notes" section and suggested to post it here for organizational purposes. If you have any idea on how to solve this or at least work it into the wiki more naturally, please share your thoughts! Here's the data so far:
---
We can assume that Judy and Donna lived in Mayhew, New Jersey, since they frequented Bette's diner there (evidence: #6 p2, last two panels). In 24 Hours (p7 panel 2), Judy calls Rose the next morning after their fight with Donna to ask if Rose has seen Donna "today", which implies walking or driving distance between them. In Moving In (p2 panel 1), Rose confirms that she comes from New Jersey, and in Lost Hearts (p18 panel 2), she calls Judy her best friend; all of that seems to point towards Mayhew. However, on the same panel in Lost Hearts Rose thinks of Judy's death as happening "in a small-town diner", which doesn't seem to indicate familiarity with the town - although it could be argued that she just wanted to mentally separate from the event. To further complicate the matter, in Collectors (p5 panel 2) she mentions wanting to return with Jed to Boston to meet their mom. Possible explanations include: Boston being a major international airport via which Miranda could be returning from England; Miranda having lived in Boston before moving to New Jersey or sending Rose to live there.

So far I've put Rose's origin as just "New Jersey" everywhere, left a small note in Mayhew and a larger one on Rose's page (the one that Nightsilver thinks is excessive). Haven't properly investigated The Kindly Ones yet (but it'll likely mention Seattle where they all moved afterwards). Any thoughts on finding more evidence or better formatting this pile of data?
So I started editing this Wiki when I was 18 with so much more free time. I hadn't even started college yet and I was doing everything on my own, so it was easier to keep track of everything that I was doing.
But now I'm a (somewhat) functioning adult and this Wiki is so much more active than when I started! There are almost 500 articles here and I can hardly believe it!
I really am happy that interest has picked up and I will try to be more active so that I can help this Wiki be as factual and informative as possible! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I don't give out my Discord freely, so you may have to ask for it.
Thanks everyone!
Or at least brought in line with author Neil Gaiman's preference currently for addressing Desire with singular "they, them", rather than the impersonal "it"?
Hello all! I'm returning to the Wikia/Fandom community after an absence of ten years back from when I did Buffy and Doctor Who. And boy, has a lot changed! I'm one of the mods from the Sandman Reddit, and I have a lot of resources that can be of use here. I've spent too much time today just trying to get the Comic Book infobox to look halfway decent, but I hope to fine-tune it to an aesthetic that works for everyone. My plan for the wiki is simple: make a page for every issue, even if it's a very simple one. To do this, I've started with issue one, the flagship issue; it's nowhere near done, but I plan to work on it over the next couple of days, so I have a template for all the rest of the issues. I would love any feedback and suggestions! I'm cribbing a bit from the DC fandom insofar as looks, but I will do my best to generate our own unique text and not just copy/paste things.
I really dont know how to use this web, was kinda hoping somebody could give me the link to the discord.
