First, if someone appears in a photograph, then later shows up physically in person in a single issue, we simply call that an appearance and don't also note the minor appearance, right?

Right.

Well I'd contend that we should do the same for the instance when a character is subject to both a recap...and a major flashback in the same issue.

We don't already do this?

So instead of (Flashback and recap), it's just (Flashback) , because the major flashback supersedes the minor flashback in the same way an appearance superseded the photo, and thus we'd never wind up with the unwieldy (Main story, flashback, and recap) , it'd just be (Main story and flashback).

Or we can continue to use the and  tags like we have for years without issue.

Lastly, I think it would be helpful to create a "Template:RecapToo" which automatically generates (Main story and recap) so that we don't have to type that out manually in instances where the subject appears in main story, but also in a flashback which contains no new information.

Or we can just tweak the text of to read " (Only in Recap) ". You don't need to signify the character appears in both the main story and a recap of past events because the actual appearance supersedes the minor one.
