I stopped to think about this flashback/flashforward subsection, and I came to the conclusion it shouldn't be added. It's a case by case scenario, not all flashbacks have the same role from comic to comic, so we should approach it accordingly.

Like I previously pointed out (what we do if a character appears in one of those flashbacks that have different continuity points (or maybe in all of them) and is one of the featured characters, antagonists or supporting cast? We leave them in said sections and put a flashback tag on them?), we would have problems with it if we end up applying it here, it would become confusing. If what I pointed out happens, I usually place said character in the "supporting characters" section with a flashback-related tag if the character had a role to play or anything. In other cases where a character was just there in a flashback, I place them in the "other characters" section with a flashback-related tag.

In cases where a flashback is constantly revisited in the issue/series/etc. and it's a fixated point in time, we could separate it from the main story in its own subsection in a similar fashion to what Nausiated did in. But if a flashback just recaps what we've already seen and constantly shifts to different points in time, we shouldn't separate them.
