Forum:List of appearances issues

Ok, so we are having some issues right now regarding the List of appearances on pages. These issues need to be addressed and they need to be addressed quickly. Here are some issues we are currently having.

1. Indirect mention - The issue with this is when a group of people, such as the 75 SPARTAN-II trainees, are mentioned in The Fall of Reach. We have been getting an opinion that there is an indirect mention being made to every single Spartan, even if they are not specifically referred to. This seems to be pushing it.

2. The entire Halo Array is mentioned in Cryptum and Primordium, so therefore each Halo (Installations 01-07) appeared in the book. Again, this seems to be pushing it.

3.I've seen many of these sections listed completely wrong, according to the Layout Guide. First, official media needs to be italicized, no question about it. Second, according to the Layout Guide, these sections need to be listed, not in order of, games, books, comics, and other media, but listed according to the release date of the media. So if something appeared in The Fall of Reach and Halo: Reach, The Fall of Reach should be listed first, according to the Layout Guide, since it came out first.

Feel free to discuss these issues below.--  Col.  Spartacus   Talk Page Contributions Contact  21:37, 2 April 2012 (EDT)
