My preference is that we don't use Mentioned with inputs.

Most people wrap it around appearances like, but this is gets confusing for users who don't know that they can't do that with every appearance-type template.

Likewise, while we typically don't tag appearances on mentioned characters, some characters (especially in elseworlds and multiverse) never make full appearances, and we might want to tag them as an appearance anyway, in which case, wrapping Mentioned around it would cause wonkiness.

Anyway, in general, my preference is that we do not wrap any of the appearance-type templates around character appearances, and always put them next to the name. Even ones like 1st, which has that functionality. The standard keeps things simple.
