What does that mean?[[edit]]

"Comprehensive but not definitive" What is the useful distinction? Boblipton 00:45, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

What indeed. These lists of appearance pages piss me off so I don't spend much time here, precisely for this reason. They should be done automatically, through the use of categories, rather than being a managed list. The message shouldn't appear at all, as nothing on a wiki is ever truly "definitive" anyway. No need for only these appearance lists to bear such a message — especially since, as you rightly point out, there's no useful distinction between comprehensive and definitive. I think the person who wrote that was probably meaning to say, "comprehensive but not complete". But, as I said, no message like this should adorn these appearance list pages.

Thanks, Czechout. I'll remove it.Boblipton 01:20, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

It was one of those notes that was on many list of pages early on in this wiki's life, one of many things that was never removed.
I think it was just to say 'we're still building this page, don't complain if story X isn't here'. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:08, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
