Oh yeah, no the mention thing slipped my mind. So ignore mention of that. Otherwise, the statement is more or less the same.

RE: Flashback/Flashforward

I would agree with you Cope, but the census is that people don't like characters being mentioned twice. I can kind of see it their way and given the limited way to implement the APN code there are not a whole lot of options without overhauling a lot of code, not to mention how to figure out a way to make some of the more complicated appearance schemes work.

I think that the way I've done a workaround for those chronology issues works. It also gives space to go into more detail. Especially if putting a page-jump link as the tag instead of, having all that extra info in the Notes section also allows for more detailed explanations as to how all the Flashbacks work in conjunction with the story as well as each character's chronology. A more detailed example I can give is what I've already gone ahead and done with Savage She-Hulk Vol 1 25. It has six different flashbacks with different continuity points for different characters.

I think this is kind of the best happy medium between the two we can implement for the time being.

RE: Mention placements

I'm not entirely sure if I fully agree with the mentions qualifying for placement in anything else by "Other Appearances". I get "keeping a team together" makes sense. But I'm of the mind that if they're only being mentioned, they are not being an active member of the team in said story (not to say that they have quit the team, just that they are not present in the story).

I think that people are applying the mention tag in a very very vague fashion. I've gone through countless issue summaries where people have put mentions of villains in the "Villain" section when they had nothing to do with the story.

If the mentioned character has anything to do with the plot at all I think that it would be better and more appropriate to use the undefined tag than. That would make more sense to me.
