Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. We are always looking for new members! Join us today!

Earlier this evening I made "Colin McKenzie" a red link. Moriori reverted this change, commenting (see the "history" page):

"(reverted link from McKenzie. He was fictional, mentioned only in that one-off doc, and is highly unlikely ever to have a Wiki article about him)"

There are, of course, Wikipedia articles about "nonexistent people", enough that there is a whole category of such articles. (See Kaycee Nicole, for example.) However, Moriori's point that there is unlikely ever to be an article on McKenzie is valid, especially since there are many fictional characters of greater renown than McKenzie who do not have their own Wikipedia articles. Charles Wallace Murry (from Madeleine L'Engle's "Time Trilogy") is only one of the literally thousands of examples one could produce. So I agree with Moriori that I shouldn't have made "Colin McKenzie" a red link. Gildir, 25 January 2006

I've redirected Colin McKenzie to the Forgotten Silver article. There may be some readers who seek information on the name McKenzie upon seeing the film. -- Longhair 23:09, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
