Forum:Appearances in various media.
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
There is always this recurring problem with the 'appearances' on character pages looking, well, extrememly messy. All because of one thing: appearances in different media is out-of order, for example:
DW:
DW:
TW:
DW:
SJA:
TW:
TW:
DW:
SJA:
I do believe that when putting down what appearances a character make sin any media, the media order should be more organized, like:
DW:
TW:
TW:
SJA:
SJA:
Not just left in random order. A good example is the Moon article, where I placed all the DW together, and all the, for example, DWM together, and didn't have anything between them. I looks a hell of a lot cleaner, and it easier to read that way. But the problem here is, people don't place them in media order (where the media appearances, such as DW, as all together), and then it looks messy and random. I changed the Supreme Dalek (from Victory of the Daleks) to make it tider, too, instead of:
DW:
VG:
DW:
it now goes
DW:
DW:

Am I the only person who can see how much easier it is to read when they're order in such a way, and how it makes the the artcile box look cleaner? Delton Menace 17:00, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
- The appearances in the infobox are generally ordered by appearance.
- Though when they're ordered in the complete 'List of appearances' article they're broken down into various media.
- I think if we're to have some logic to the in-infobox list it needs to follow some form of logic, alphabetical by prefix? Grouped by media and then alphabetical?
- We certainly need to settle on a some form of consistency that can be applied throughout all articles.
- Also we should settle on how many stories that's listed in 'appearances' is the tipping point for a full 'List of appearances' article. --Tangerineduel 17:29, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
