 * - This template is hopefully straight forward and will be used when a subject appears as a photograph or flashback video on a computer monitor, smartphone, or television that contain no actual interaction. You can use this as follows:

Would this also include appearances by various television journalists or newscasters? For example Trish Tilby is a television journalist and several of her appearances involve announcing news items on live-broadcast.


 * - This is new, but not actually part of the minor appearances tier. It will be used when a subject is mentioned either during an internal monologue or in narration, but not actually mentioned aloud. You can use this as follows:

Is there any major deference between an internal monologue and a character speaking aloud to no one in particular? I recently added a summary of Marvel Team-Up Vol 1 121, where the Human Torch spends a few pages basically speaking to himself.

He voices his thoughts about the Fantastic Four, their career, old enemies, the New York public, etc. But there is nobody around to listen to him.

I have not really checked, but how does this affect X-Men Vol 1 138? It is basically a flashback issue, where Cyclops reminisces about the entire history of the X-Men. Most characters appear in one or two panels of a flashback and/or are mentioned briefly in Cyclops' internal monologue. Even Mekano, a one-shot character, gets a brief mention.
