:I've always been annoyed when I see an article with a list showing the item's first appearance being halfway down the list. It doesn't make sense to me to have ''The Fall of Reach'' being listed below other things such as ''Halo 4'' when it has a first appearance tag. In my opinion, it's more professional to list media items in order of release date. For anyone who doesn't know what were talking about, these are the two current formats used on Halopedia. | :I've always been annoyed when I see an article with a list showing the item's first appearance being halfway down the list.

Meanwhile, the [[Ur-Didact]] appears in both the game proper ''and'' in the terminals, and his appearance list is identical because the list's format doesn't allow us to make a distinction between appearances in the feature only and appearances in both the feature and the rest of the game. Could we use something like the appearance type identifiers (e.g. First appearance, Mentioned only) to indicate when a subject ''only'' appears in a given feature? Or should we list every major aspect of the game (Campaign, Multiplayer, Terminals, and game modes like Spartan Ops) as their own bullet points? This would also allow us to categorize the appearances more specifically but at the same time, it would also inflate the list—perhaps too much. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 12:45, 19 March 2014 (EDT) | Meanwhile, the [[Ur-Didact]] appears in both the game proper ''and'' in the terminals, and his appearance list is identical because the list's format doesn't allow us to make a distinction between appearances in the feature only and appearances in both the feature and the rest of the game.

I have a solution which shouldn't be too painful to implement or look at. If the subject ''only'' appears in a feature and not the main body of the work, the feature will not be listed as a sub-bullet point but rather a bracketed note.
