Explanations
The omniverse consists of the totality of everything in a fictional universe. While it is fine to use the term on our wiki, it is generally not recommended as it may cause confusion. It also doesn't guarantee a set idea because it varies greatly depending on the cosmology. There are a few examples below to illustrate this.
1.) Marvel has commonly used the term as meaning every fictional universe and reality is in one structure. However, this would be contradictory to use it for scaling as no entity would be able to reach this level of transcendence, creation, etc. as said entities only have a notable influence in their realities in actuality. This cannot provably extend into other fictional settings due to copyright, along with our reality as fictional representations of the real world are not equitable to our reality.
However, the term itself has also been contradicted due to it being treated as synonymous with inferior structures too. For example, writer Al Ewing is one of the writers for the Ultimate series and them traveling outside the omniverse is treated as the same as leaving the multiverse. This emphasizes that even different authors within the same company can offer different views on what classifies as the omniverse.
2.) Doctor Who is another example of a fictional series that utilizes the term. Within the context of Doctor Who, the omniverse is used to describe the totality of existence and encompassing up to infinite-dimensional planes of existence. This is a far cry from the Marvel definition which includes not only just Marvel, but it includes every other fictional universe and reality itself. Doctor Who's interpretation is self-contained to its own setting.
3.) When going by actual definitions from different dictionaries, Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it as, "a universe that is spatiotemporally four-dimensional." Wiktionary uses a separate definition as it defines it as, "A number of supposedly co-existing universes." These two variations are different from the Marvel and Doctor Who interpretations as they are lower scales.
Meaning: The term is up to interpretation with what it encompasses when it comes to fictional settings as there is no correct answer on set size. All of them are technically right and valid, meaning there should be no preference for a specific meaning.
Note
- Omniverse, when used in a fictional setting, will usually be in reference to everything in the cosmology of the verse. This is because the stem meaning of the prefix "omni" means all. It should be fairly obvious, however, that it doesn't set the cosmology to a specific size. Even then, there are examples where this isn't the case such as the examples listed above. It is preferable to avoid using the term in general unless the verse itself uses the term to describe its cosmology. If you have any questions regarding the specific interpretation of its usage, it's best you supply context in order to discern a potential meaning.
