==Appearance lists and reference documents==

I recently realized there doesn't really seem to be a good reason for us omitting reference documents (e.g. the Encyclopedia and the visual guides) from our appearance lists. For one, ''Wookieepedia'', often considered a gold standard for fan wikis since they mostly have their standards figured out, lists them. I see the logic in this, keeping in mind the entire point of the list which is to provide information on works in which the subject appears. Also, to illustrate one issue generated by our current standard, we have a number of subjects that were first mentioned in the ''Encyclopedia''. Yet, because we omit the book from appearance lists, another piece of media will end up with the "first mention" tag on the list instead. Yeah, you could say it's the first mention in media outside reference documents, but I still think it's an arbitrary and unnecessary omission. The only counterargument I can think of is that the ''Encyclopedia'' would end up on most of our pages' appearance lists, but that's hardly a problem. --[[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)
