The apn tag has frequently been a source of disagreement. It is intended to help people follow a character when they digress from their book, but I honestly don't know how many visitors to this site use that information.

For earlier books (like Silver or Copper Age), it makes some sense because it was a big deal when Spider-Man would show up in another title. But for current comics, it just becomes too complicated. How in the world would we show Wolverine's next appearance since he is in practically every comic.

I would recommend not using the tag. It gets confusing and it is not consistently applied across the board.

This is only my opinion. I don't think that the admins have come together to set official policy on this.
