Appearances Overkill

I think these appearances could definitely be trimmed down. Adding citizens, members, a horse, a dog, a planet and others isn't really adding anything at all to the page. Kyletheobald (talk) 13:13, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

It's not always overkill. But it is overkill here. --Tupka217 (talk) 13:24, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Read your own rules.

DC Database: Manual of Style

No fact is too small

Everything has a place here. If it happened, it's probably worth mentioning. There are lots of examples in comics of seemingly meaningless characters coming back to play larger roles, and minor plot elements being expanded into something greater. In the pursuit of ultimate completion, we really do try to mention every single thing that happens... and illustrate them as we go along, also. We pride ourselves on keeping track of the little things... like the ingredients in Green Arrow's Chili, or the food that Alfred feeds the bats in the Batcave (free-range corn-fed chicken goujons, gently fried in extra virgin olive oil, with chives).

If the characters, items or locations weren't related to the story they wouldn't have been added. The preceding unsigned comment was added by The Royal Purple Pimp (talk • contribs).

This was not meant to refer to appearance lists. I'll see if I can amend the MoS to make this clearer. --Tupka217 (talk) 15:59, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Then why index if people, places and things are removed? The people, places and things that were removed were related to the stories. I can't help it that the writers had written all this into these stories. The "revised" updated doesn't fully make sense now. You should be thankful that someone takes the time to thoroughly index an issue. Unlike others who may be out there just to get their Wonder Woman & Batman badges and neglect to add people, places or things because they don't exist in the wiki.
