Eliminating "False" Appearances
This one is confusing me. Can I get a tl;dr? There's a problem with two proposed solutions, and I'll try to explain both without being biased towards the one I favor. :P

The issue is that things like, , , etc. aren't really truly appearances, but they're not exactly mentions either.

So one proposal is to code them like this: * Character So that they're not categorized at all anymore.
 * Character
 * Character

And the other proposal is to create a new level of appearance categorization, somewhere between appearances and mentions, called "minor appearances" and to overhaul the template coding so that the database automatically sorts select types of appearances into this new tier when coded like they currently are listed.
