Perhaps, taking inspiration from what is done on the Marvel Database, "Minor Appearances"? Obviously we are our own wiki but it is just an idea; they in fact have pages for each character's appearances, minor appearances, and mentions, which are automatically categorised by adding a template to a story page. (I'm not saying we should use templates as it would require some programming, but it is another idea.) An example is that if we want to include an appearance where the Doctor (Earth-5556) only appears on a screen, we can write under the list of characters in the story which automatically adds that story to the subpage The Doctor (Earth-5556)/Minor Appearances (although this specific example currently doesn't actually exist) as well as adding a little note next to his name on the story page that says "on screen only". There are also other templates which work for other types of minor appearances (like photos), as well as a separate template and corresponding subpage for mentions.
