The articles exist as alternate versions of the canon storyline units in the RA2 timeline. Mikael Grizzly 13:21, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Let me explain the whole "universe" thing in slightly more detail. There are three Command and Conquer "univeses". The first universe is often referred to as the "Tiberium" universe. It includes Red Alert, Tiberiun Dawn (orgional C&C), Tibeiun Sun and Tiberium Wars. These articles are in the main namespace and have no prefix.

The second universe, labled as "RA2", includes Red Alert and Red Alert 2 (including the Yuri's Revenge Expansion). These have the RA2: prefix before them.

Note that Red Alert exists in both of the first two universes, however due to the fact that notes on what happens to the things in the two universes after Red Alert will differ in the two universes two "versions" of the articles must be made to prevent conflicts. For example the Tesla Coil in the Tiberium universe went out of use after Red Alert, where as the one in the RA2 universe would contine being used and be upgraded so that RA2:Tesla Troopers could power it up. You could not include the RA2 info in the Tiberum universe as it does not happen. On the other hand the RA2:Mammoth Tank article in the RA2 universe would mention that it was replaced by the RA2:Apocalypse Tank after Red Alert, which you could not put in the Tiberium universe, but at the same time you couldn't just link to the Tiberium universe Mammoth Tank as it contains info on the Mammoth Tanks from Tiberian Dawn, Tiberian Sun and Tiberium Wars which do not take place in the RA2 universe.

The last universe is the "Generals" universe, which, as it's name suggests, includes Generals (including its Zero Hour expansion) and is labled with the Generals: prefix. --DarkMastero 21:15, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
