If you have issues with this format, hash it out now. —Interrobang 01:21, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Looks good to me. I will be honest, though, and say that the more complicated the character appearance formatting is, the more likely I personally am to just not bother putting that information in. Listing them all and getting the links to their pages correct is annoying enough. Having to separate them by faction and put them in some table is increasingly irksome. Having to alphabetize and number them on top of that? No way in hell. YMMV. -- Repowers 07:00, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Meanwhile, a large paragraph that's just a name-list looks like utter shit and is very hard to read. It may be a little more work, but it also pays off for not looking terrible. --M Sipher 07:35, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

At very least, I vote for "order of appearance" rather than alphabetical order and crazy quilt order-of-appearance numbers. Though splitting by faction means you still have to have the numbers. What cluster!

(At most, I vote for leaving the things alone, 'cause jeez, does anybody really read those lists anyway? They're a reference item, not reading material. But again, YMMV. The chart format certainly is much easier to take in at a glance.) -- Repowers 08:04, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm all for Order of Appearance. That's how I've done every episode cast list so far, and how I always saw them done before.--M Sipher 08:10, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

I really think that the "stats" section should come before the synopsis, and that same should be true for cartoon episode pages. Just as the writers and artists are listed at the beginning of the book, and the written by and directed by credits come at the beginning of the episode. --KilMichaelMcC 07:32, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

I disagree. Here's why.

(Also, our emphasis is on the fiction. What was created is of higher priority than who created it.) -- Repowers 08:04, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, yes, that one is kinda if silly. We don't need to list things like "Director of Sales" up top like that. But the writers, artists, and episode directors shouldn't be treated as afterthoughts, which is what I think listing them after the synposis does. --KilMichaelMcC 08:23, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
