Template talk:Appearances

Wouldn't It Be Better to Combine This Template with DPL?
I've seen some pages in this wiki using this template and while it is interesting to see a list of chapters where a character appears, most of the information there hasn't been adapted for a long time. I can understand that manually updating it every time a new chapter comes would be tiresome and impractical, so I recommend using DynamicPageList3 extension (or just DPL for short); you can request it to Fandom staff (read more:Help:Extensions). With that, the information could be updated automatically without the need of editing it every week.

Here's a code I made if you're interested:

Incorporating this code to the template along with some modifications will shorten the Template:Appearance into just this:



Once you've done modifying the template, to generate a list of a certain character's manga appearances, all you need to do is to just copy this following code and paste it to the respective character page:

or, if you want to generate an anime appearances list, use this:

It basically works by looking at all "Characters in Order of Appearance" sections in every chapter (or episode) page and creating a list of all chapter (episode) pages where a certain character name is mentioned in that section.

If you have any question regarding my suggestion, feel free to ask me. I will be glad to answer as long as I'm online and not too busy with some works 03:57, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
