I think bullets on appearance sections should be changed to numbers. This helps a user in a couple of ways, mainly letting them know how many times they've appeared. By the way, this can be changed by a bot if successful. | SimpsonsFR.pngSimpsonsFA.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFD.pngSimpsonsFO.pngSimpsonsFM.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFO.png | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 09:50, 4 March 2012 (EST)

  1. Unnecessary change in my opinion. If a user is really trying to find out how many times something has appeared, then they can always just copy the list of appearances into Excel and look at the cell the last appearance is on. Also, it would look bad for things with only one or two appearances. The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.) 09:52, 4 March 2012 (EST)
