Well, I don't disagree with that, but "multimedia" isn't a fandom, it's a term.

And I don't see how describing the actual history of the term is "marginalizing" it.

If I say "The Professionals fandom is not as active as it used to be," is that marginalizing it? No, it's true.

If I say "People used to read all their fic in zines, but now zines are kind of in a lull because most fic goes on the internet," is that marginalizing it? No, it's true.

If the "multifandom" entry is titled "multifandom," because that is the most accurate term that is *currently in use*, and it includes a short note, "this used to be covered under the term 'multimedia' but it is rarely called this any more," is that really marginalizing it? How is it marginalizing it to say "this term is very rarely used any more?" It's *true*.
