Forum talk:Temporary forums/Lists of Appearances

Infobox appearances
The outcome of this thread appears to be that invalid appearances are now allowed on lists of appearances, on account of them being real-world pages. I'm wondering if this would also apply to the "|appearances = " sections in infoboxes (e.g. Harry Potter (character) with "|appearances = " (or, alternatively, "|appearances =  ").

 * (I also see a slight potential issue with LEGO Dimensions in particular being included, considering it could bring into question the lack of pages for wholly non-DWU subjects from the game, since they'd technically be seen as an "appearance") Cookieboy 2005 ☎  22:02, 31 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Including invalid stories in the infobox seems like a logical extension of this thread so yes, I don't see why not. For consistency with prefixes elsewhere on the wiki, use NOTVALID. I don't feel that I know enough about the situation around LEGO Dimensions to comment on this. Perhaps this ould be a topic for its own thread? Bongo50   ☎  22:23, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Just noting there's already been a complaint. Najawin ☎  16:38, 1 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I personally don't love the new format, but people are bound not to like change and I don't think seeing the name of Gareth Roberts is a legitimate enough complaint for us to worry about. Jack &#34;BtR&#34; Saxon ☎  16:41, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

If you read the replies, it's a more general dislike for the format. Najawin ☎  16:42, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
