Also, in these cases we'd want to retire |only=. Having Picard's page list Assimilation2 as his only story would not make it totally clear that the "first" link goes off-wiki. Also, I think it should go without saying that we'd really only do this for franchised concepts. There's no need for, like, [[John Lennon]] to list [[w:c:Beatles:My Bonnie (EP)]] or for [[Globe Theatre]] to list {{wi|Julius Caesar (play)}} or whatever. | Also, in these cases we'd want to retire |only=.

I also don't think this should apply to ''Doctor Who'' concepts which have been retconned to being related to other franchises. Like, I know the novels in the 90s were all excited about constantly retconning that, uh, [[Kandyman]] is [[Cthulhu]] or whatever. But I would still list ''[[The Abominable Snowmen (TV story)|The Abominable Snowmen]]'' as the first appearance of the [[Great Intelligence]]. I would not list ''[[w:c:Lovecraft:The Case of Charles Dexter Ward]]''. | |||
The test template I'm using in this OP is at [[:Template:Infobox off-wiki first]]. I changed barely anything, it's probably not good enough to be used right away, and I am not good at coding templates. But this is the basic idea of what I'm suggesting. | The test template I'm using in this OP is at [[:Template:Infobox off-wiki first]].
