Not sure about \\\'\\\'{{Blackadder}}\\\'\\\'; the description says \\\"Short for \\\"Exported Character\\\", an Expy is a character from one series who is unambiguously and deliberately based on a character in another, older series.\\\" and \\\"the key difference between this and CaptainErsatz is that an Expy is not clearly supposed to be the character, but is rather \\\'\\\'very\\\'\\\' similar, while CaptainErsatz is obviously the same character but with the SerialNumbersFiledOff. \\\"

\\\'\\\'{{Blackadder}}\\\'\\\' doesn\\\'t seem to fit; they \\\'\\\'are\\\'\\\' the same characters, clearly and unambigously, not characters \\\"based on\\\" the original characters.

\\\'\\\'{{Blackadder}}\\\'\\\' doesn\\\'t seem to fit; they \\\'\\\'are\\\'\\\' the same characters, clearly and unambigously, just in a different setting. It\\\'s a bit like saying the Kermit the Frog who [[TheMuppetsTakeManhattan met all the other Muppets in college and decided to make a Broadway musical with them]] is an Expy of the Kermit the Frog who [[TheMuppetMovie met all the other Muppets on the road to Hollywood and decided to make a movie with them]]. They\\\'re both Kermit the Frog, not a character based on Kermit the Frog.
