"Media clusters" is basically a neologism that I made up, to capture fictional continuities that span multiple forms of media -- e.g., print, film, games, etc. Some fictional continuities are in print only. Others span.
Better terms might be:
- Franchises. But implies commerciality which is not always present in all aspects of most franchises.
- Media franchises. Same as above, but maybe emphasis on media softens "franchise" aspect.
- Cross-media works.
Alternatively maybe it's not needed. Maybe any set of related works that include enough works to have their own category in Category:Fictional continuities should be assumed to be in multiple media, and if it's not, that's okay; the individual categories work as tags and need not be linked in to particular media. The works within the categories will be tagged with appropriate media -- e.g., TV series, games, etc.
