Talk:List of character appearances by graphic novel

Number of Appearances

Hana is now tied with Mr. Bennet, with 9 each. -Lөvөl 02:34, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

• Yes. I have some updating to do with the trivia. By the way, Bennet still gets the no-prize for being referenced in the most GNs--Hana talks about him in The Lonestar File, though he doesn't appear. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 07:16, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

Format for appearances

Appearances should be for the amount of novels the character has appeared. For instance, Ren was in Betty, Part 1, Betty, Part 2, and Betty, Part 3 so far. So under the heading for Betty, Part 3, it should say "Ren (3)". Since Betty, Part 3 is the redhead nurse's first appearance, she should only be at 1, and her name should be bold. It should say "Redhead nurse (1)". Additionally, this page lists the order that each character appears . For instance, the opening shots are of Ren, so Ren's name should be first. This is not an alphabetical list.... Hope that clears up any misunderstandings. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:17, 10 July 2007 (EDT)

• Thanks, that was previously not clear to me.--MiamiVolts (talk) 16:19, 10 July 2007 (EDT)

Groups

Groups are kind of that hazy line between characters and not characters. Up to now, we've generally been treating them as not characters, and I agree with that. I removed them from this list of characters because it'd be really odd to have every instance of a group on here. We've only had D.L.'s crew and the Skyhawk crew on here, so I removed them. (I switched D.L.'s crew to their actual names, since we have articles about each. I also removed them from Snapshots since a photo is not an appearance.) I think that not including the groups is a better way to go. It's certainly easier than trying to figure out every time the FBI or the CIA appears, or what to do when only part of a group appears. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:04, 21 August 2007 (EDT)

What to include and exclude

Okay, groups are not included, per above. What about minor, cameo appearances? This doesn't happen often, but I mean like in the front page of Monsters ([1]). If that was included, then Niki, Jessica, Isaac, Peter, Nathan, and Claire would get an extra appearance. Is this not included because:

• a) It is a title page thing (not sure why that would matter)
• b) Most are from scenes in the show, so they fall under the repeating scene rule adapted for episodes.
• c) They are simply decoratorive, and have no bearing on the story about to be told (regarding Mohinder).
• d) 2 or 3 of the above.

Links from GNs

This page is only linked from talk pages and a few other random pages mostly in notes and trivia, while episode appearances are included on the episode page, shouldn't there at least be a link on the GN pages? -Lөvөl 03:09, 20 February 2008 (EST)

• You mean only to add a link to this article on each of the graphic novels, maybe after the image category link in the See Also? Currently, the episodes each display a listing of characters that appear, and also have a link to the master listing but the graphic novels don't have such a listing.--MiamiVolts (talk) 03:44, 20 February 2008 (EST)
  • Yes. When I added a link on Graphic Novel:War Buddies, Part 7, Ryan removed it. I would find it extremely useful to have this linked to from the GN pages. -Lөvөl 03:39, 22 April 2008 (EDT)
    • Just a link, or a section listing all the characters who appear in the graphic novel? Would there be an easier way to do it--like going through a template which already exists on each GN page--rather than making 80+ edits? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:35, 25 April 2008 (EDT)
