My apologies for having previously bugged mostly just Peteparker about this sort of stuff when there may be others who can lighten the load by understanding the coding better than I:

Character Template
The first problem is that it seems when we enter a Universe that isn't a straight number or doesn't include the letters TRN, the template ignores the letters. So for example Earth-BW08 (the reality where Renew Your Vows Spider-Man originated) when input into the Character Template is displayed simply as Earth-08 and auto-generates Category:Earth-08 Characters instead of Category:Earth-BW08 Characters. I've no idea why this is or how to resolve it.

On the positive side, I tested it on the Daily Bugle and Avengers articles, and it seems to work properly in both instances, displaying a link to Earth-BW08 as well as auto generating Category:Earth-BW08 from the Organization Template and the Team Template.

Hopefully this is not a difficult fix, 'cause we've done quite a bit of work community-wide to add these "BW" instead of the regular TRN designations to a bunch of Secret Wars stuff this past weekend, and I'd hate to give anyone a headache over something minor, but obviously annoying.

Named Template
The second problem arose after I had previously suggested that the Named Template be changed to be better categorized as Mentions rather than as the prior full-blown Appearances (since they don't actually appear, instead are merely mentioned on in-story text rather than dialogue), but this created an unforeseen issue where the green text is no longer showing up when the Template:Named is used.

So I figured I'd take a peek at the coding, and believe the reason why the green text is being overwritten is because Template:A has three switches and Template:Mentioned only has two but I'm not sure how to test this theory without altering a template used on thousands of articles.

Again, I hope this is also an easy fix, since it's an issue my suggestion created, and I thank y'all in advance for your time on both these topics.
