I think it's all about long-term support, and expected design. We don't use Appearances on Categories.

When you are on core-pages (characters, vehicles, items etc) you'll see at the bottom they have an "Appearances" link? These show where all those core pages have "appeared in a comic issues by usage of A template or manually added. This design is built into the core-page templates and has an inherent design with how A template works.

If you go to categories, these don't that link built-in. Could we manually add a link for an appearance like these? Yes, we could. However, I don't support that as a one-off setup honestly. I'm not sure without testing but I think you'd have to have a redirect to your cat and then add A on the redirect for the issue. See how that just gets too messy too quick?

Any who, maybe move this conversation to the forum? That's the place to propose a design change rather than this thread. I appreciate your desire to help organize. I'd recommend thinking about it a bit more, the answer is not new categories for appearances, and it's not creating an item page for "mad science weapons" as that's too general (in my opinion, you're welcome to garner support from other users or admins, just need a compelling, long-term supportable design behind it). Would love to see if you come up with something but I'm not sure I can think of anything better off the top of my head to help...
