Forum:SH Archive/Splitting "First pictured"

Hey everyone,

Our template is currently used in two different ways. In some articles, like Unidentified Wookiee mercenary (Aurodium Sword) and Kabieroun (species), it's used to indicate that the subject was merely pictured (and not mentioned) in a canon source before it went on to actually appear or be mentioned in a later source. In other articles, like Cal Omas and Eye of Palpatine, is used to indicate that the subject existed in canon for a while before it was visually depicted. Since these are two completely different things, I'm proposing that we use two different templates for them. If a reader associates with one of those two, then they could easily be confused when they encounter the other instance.

My idea is to change the latter instance to. As for the former, I'm partial to keeping it as, as it's what I've always associated with, but I'm open to better ideas. Thoughts? Menkooroo (talk) 06:18, November 7, 2013 (UTC)
