Forum:CT Archive/Appearances lists

After seeing a Senate Hall discussion regarding lists of appearances, I decided to create this CT. Basically, the discussion revolved around what should be done with appearances section on OOU articles. Initially, the options discussed were simply keep or kill, but then proposed keeping but hiding such lists, which is what I am now turning into a formal proposal via the CT.

If approved, the MOS for OOU articles would be adjusted to specify that the Appearances section should be placed inside App. The correct format would be:

Appearances
{{App|

Characters
insert list here

Creatures
insert list here

etc. }}

Here's an example of what this would look like. IU articles would not be affected in any way by this proposal; Scroll box would continue to be used on those lists when they get long. Have a nice day! &mdash;Master Jonathan(Jedi Council Chambers) 22:44, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Adopt proposal

 * 1) No need to take up 75-90% of each OOU article with a huge list that the casual reader could probably care less about, yet the lists are still useful to some editors. Therefore, it makes sense to me to hide them. &mdash;Master Jonathan(Jedi Council Chambers) 22:44, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
