So this template has recently resurfaced with another user. I have to say that the current rules we want on this template are kinda...dumb. We have it, but we don't really want to use it, but if we do, we can only use it when the appearances are not in the same comic volume. That to me is far too much work. I feel that unless we can link each appearance, regardless of what series it's in, then it's pretty pointless to use this template, and it should be removed, instead of letting is sit scattered across pages looking incomplete.

That being said, I think it's also a pretty narrow template. I love the idea and all, but how do you handle flashbacks, or mentions, or retcons, or simultaneous appearances like the Wolverine example above? The list goes on.

We shouldn't be keeping this around in a half-way kind of state. It either needs to be updated and fleshed out, or if we don't want to update it, we should just remove it.
