Hi, I have a couple of suggestions regarding the Marvel_Database:Character_Template after encountering a couple of issues while adding information.

1. I tried to add a last appearance for a deceased character in the character template, which was different to that character's death appearance. Having both parameters made a mess of the formatting, so I initially removed the death appearance, given that it was listed "N/A" anyway. However, doing this added the character page to the living characters category, so I undid the change.

Is there a workaround for this issue or can the template be modified to accommodate this type of situation? Would it be simpler to have the categorization rely on a simple "yes/no" for whether or not the character is deceased, rather than be dependent on the presence of a death appearance (which does not always exist in some cases).

2. On a related note, I noticed that some deceased characters have no actual physical appearances, existing exclusively as flashbacks, dreams or illusions. However there is no way to specify this in the character template, without again messing with the nice formatting of the issue/episode info.

Thanks for any assistance with these.
