Every character/location/etc. has a category for every comic they appear in. The appearance tags add them to that category. The normal straight brackets -  - add a link. The link only connects you to that page. The appearance brackets - - add them to their appearance category. You need to use both for everything to work properly. For example, Green Lantern would be formatted like this:.

This only applies on comic issue and tv episode/movie pages; if you ever write on a character biography, the portion is not needed. You would also not use the {{a| if the character doesn't make an actual appearance but you still want to link to their page, examples would be if they are mentioned but not shown, shown only as a statue, or something similar. I hope that helps and feel free to ask me or the other admins any questions.
