Keeping it on-topic, so I'll answer to relevant points made:

To get it out of the way first: I didn't say the APN tags were contrived. Additionally, just because I'm saying one practise is not visually appealing doesn't mean I'm saying the other one is (in reference to bringing up the initial point of this whole thread). And finally, there's a difference between appearances list taking up space due to abundance of characters and repetition of characters.

I'm not repudiating a potential appearances list overhaul. I'm trying to see exactly what would these changes exactly be and see if I can get more insight on certain points that don't entirely appeal to me.

With that cleared up: If the APN tags were meant to be a simple alternative to listing where does certain character appear next, but finding a way to properly organize them is pretty hard, then it's possible that listing the chronology of a character is not simple enough to compact it into two or several blue arrows, and using the notes section for this once again could be an option.
