I'm not really in favor of the Star Wars model.

I agree with that part: Nausiated wrote: I took some time to sleep on it, and perhaps this idea would be putting the carriage before the horse.

I guess what really bothers me is a number of tags we have to seem a little out of control. Maybe we need to cull some of the redundant tags, or condense tags.

Maybe instead of having different tags for different specific things we tweak the {{a, {{apn and {{Minor tags so we can add another bit of information where we can type in whatever fits the appearance.

Example: {{apn|Spider-Man (Peter Parker)|Comic Book #1|Comic Book #2|Main Story, Flashback, and Flashforward}}

So it would look something like this:

{{apn|Spider-Man (Peter Parker)|Comic #1|Comic #2}} {{g|Main Story, Flashback, and Flashforward}} AnnabellRice wrote: Many of us have already been utilizing combined custom tags as necessary where applicable.

I created the Template:Minor tag with that function already coded in, the Template:A tag can be substituted with Template:G instead for the same function; meanwhile, the Template:Apn tag can be supplemented with the same as you did in your example.

As for the specific example, that one is prefabricated as: {{Flashback and Flashforward}} Which produces: {{Flashback and Flashforward}}

So it wouldn't even need to be customized.

I suppose "RecapToo" makes the most sense from what I've personally thought up, but maybe someone else has a more succinct term? Totally agree on this. I currently add a {{g|Also appears in recap}}, but it's not great and a cost of time at each occasion.
