Forum:CT Archive/List of articles without appearances lists

I'm working on updating the appearances sections of the articles a lot and I must say it is always stressing to come across articles about generic "Earth" terms or fundamental terms of Star Wars galaxy, which by definition must include most, if not all, stories ever published, but instead include only a relatively small number of them. Aricles about popular subjects, like Luke Skywalker or clone trooper also have a huge number of appearances, which are incomplete, but they can at least theoretically be drawn near completion, unlike the appearances of water and energy cell. Seriously, we write Wookieepedia for its readers and it would be far more interesting for them to see, in which stories lightsabers or Humans do not appear, rather than scroll through a list with hundreds of stories, terribly incomplete anyway. I also doubt people will be looking for the list of appearances for such common terms as General or The Force (the latter is said to "reside in all life forms" and "bind the galaxy" together, so by definition it is present in every Star Wars story).

My, rather bold, suggestion is: to create a list (in the Wookieepedia namespace, of course) of articles, which should not have a traditional appearances section. Instead such articles will either lack such sections at all, have a brief explanation in its place (for example, for lekku: All stories, in which twi'leks appear) or include a list of stories, in which subject does not appear. Such lists, once created, will be a subject of constant expansion. The decision whether to include the article on the list could be done on each article's individual talk page. For the start, the list could be copied from the User:LtNOWIS/List of articles without appearances lists (I must also thank User:LtNOWIS for the idea). However, before even starting with such a list myself, I feel I must aks a community about such idea - I have a feeling there'll be arguments to oppose that, so I'm open to discussion.
