Undoniel brought up a good point, that the DPL in the Character Appearances template actually showed you the date the issue was published without having to open the page for that issue.

He'd like to have it put back for pages with <500 appearances, and I'd like to hear from more people before reinstalling the DPL calls, as they're expensive on the server.

I'm also working on being able to show the dates in the category itself, which may be another option. I have a friend looking at how to make it work with javascript, and they've said it could be just as expensive on the server as the DPL call, but it would work for every page displayed in the category.

What say you? If the pages are in order chronologically, do you want to see the dates of publication?
