Blog:Changing bullets in appearances to numbers

Wikisimpsons - The Simpsons Wiki
Revision as of 11:06, March 4, 2012 by Phinbart (talk | contribs) (Comments)

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)

Solar, I have know idea how that works, and it wouldn't look that bad. | SimpsonsFR.pngSimpsonsFA.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFD.pngSimpsonsFO.pngSimpsonsFM.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFO.png | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 09:54, 4 March 2012 (EST)

How about putting something before the list of appearances like: "Appears in: [NUMBER] episodes". Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 09:57, 4 March 2012 (EST)
That might be good. | SimpsonsFR.pngSimpsonsFA.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFD.pngSimpsonsFO.pngSimpsonsFM.pngSimpsonsFN.pngSimpsonsFO.png | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 09:59, 4 March 2012 (EST)
I'm intrigued by the idea, but would like to see a few examples (say a few appearances then a lot) first.--Cook879 10:02, 4 March 2012 (EST)
We can put it like:
Appears in:
267 episodes
30 comics
3 shorts
6 advertisements
