Template:Appearances

A Word of Warning
While it is possible to insert using the visual editor, and I have done so when I had extra time on hand,  this template is obscenely large . If you attempt to insert or edit it with the visual editor, then, unless your Computer, ISP,  and  Wikia's servers can handle the request effectively, the presently active Wiki page (other tabs & pages unaffected) that you are inserting the template into may freeze for anywhere between 3 minutes and an indefinite period of time as it attempts to load the Template Editor. The inline editor works exceptionally well and you only need to know what page number fits one of the below Sub-Templates. (See the below example).

Usage
This template is intended for usage in combination with the below sub-templates to indicate if a character appears, is under another's control, is mentioned, we're unsure, or none of the above.

Parameters
There is 1 parameter (CharacterName) for the name of the character portrayed and hundreds of others (labeled, , … ), one for each page of the comic. In other words, there are around one thousand parameters. To prevent blank parameters from floating around the sheet, a blank parameter will default to. This means that you can leave everything except pages matching the below content categories blank.

Template:B
This template divides between chapters and indicates pages not in the chapter of the row it's inserted into. (E.G. Page 6 is not in the Prologue and the line separating Chapters 11 and 12.)

Example: (The "…" is simply to expand the cell so it will be viewable and is not necessary if you have surrounding cell structures that can manage cell dimensions.)

Template:N
This template indicates that the character neither appeared nor was mentioned. I have set Appearances to default Blank Parameters to this Template. (E.G. Keith does not appear anywhere in The Prologue.)

Example:

Template:U
This template indicates that the character may have been named or made an appearance, but we are unsure. (E.G.Trace on page 723 in Chapter 16.) Example:

Template:M
This template indicates that the character featured is merely mentioned. (E.G.Saria au Gruhen on page 145 in Chapter 6: Part 1.) Example:

Template:I
This template indicates that the character appears but is acting under an external influence. (E.G. Flora under Ephemural's control on page 162 in Chapter 6: Part 2.)

Example:

Template:Y
This template indicates that the character made an appearance.

It also links to the page in question. (E.G. Trace on Page 1 in The Prologue.)

The above templates change the cell backgrounds and insert a letter depending on the template chosen
