I noticed that. I was just mentioning them for the E-616 characters to make a point. And you misunderstood me as well about removing information. That is not my intention. But I think it´s pointless to duplicate information from a synopsis into a page for a one-shot character. Let´s spell it out once in the synopsis, do the links to the disamb page (which could list one-shot alternates just as links to their respective appearances), and we have the nformation still there but right where it belongs instead of endlessly duplicated data dumps. Case in point is the above-mentioned Exiles book. 100 issues of one-shot alternates (ok, that´s exaggerated but only slightly) necessitating extremely time-consuming research whether this was the first app, does the character have any return apps, etc. - and it did not help that many links were reds or even blacks which is, however, another problem. So I say it again: this is not about removing information but re-arranging and re-categorizing it.
