Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

Honestly, I don't see the point in having such a list. It would make sense if the work had a short run or if the character in question was a One-Scene Wonder, but we are talking about one of the leading characters in a series that has been going since the 1940s. Of course he is going to show up everywhere. Listing just his first appearance should be enough.

Agreed. First appearance is more than enough. The rest is just unnecessary trivia
Other Teen Titans characters' pages also have this problem with having all of their appearances listed. Should that apply to them too?

Probably! I also noticed it on Characters.Aquaman Supporting Cast.
The Protomen enhanced my life.
yeah. I expanded the sections using Dick and Tim's pages as a guide which is why it has that list of comic book appearances and I've been doing that since like, November last year, which is why a lot of other pages have it such as for Speedy's CSP which was made last year, same with Wonder Girl: Cassie Sandsmark, the aforemented Donna Troy page, Garth's section on the aforemention Aquaman Supporting Cast page, some of the members of the Silver Age team (namely Charley Parker, Flamebird, Omen and Mal); and Enigma and Red Devil on the TT03 page

I think we should only list appearances for minor characters.
we also have a very large character appearance section for Barbara Gordon on Characters.Batgirl.
If it's any consolation, I do think having an appearance list is fine. But instead having it like the former, make it more like the latter.
Appearances: XXX | XXX | XXX | XXX (guest)
- XXX Vol 1 #Y-WZ
- XXX Vol 1 #Z-XZZ
- YYY Vol 2 #YY-ZZZ
bump
Edit: Oh, and it appears that Characters.Robin Damian Wayne also has the appearances bar.

I dont like it. Its really cluttered looking. And way too much info
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."
the appearance bar or the folder?
Edit: The Batman: Jason Todd page has this monstrosity
For the Man Who Has Everything | Batman: A Death in the Family | A Lonely Place of Dying (flashbacks) | Batman: Hush | Countdown to Final Crisis | Batman: Under the Hood | Convergence
Those should probably be cut too.
The Protomen enhanced my life.
Since we are all in agreement, I'll go ahead and cut those lists.
Edit: Done.

Uhh, no, nobody has voted on whether we go for an appearance folder or not.

Yeah, this isn’t a report, it’s an acknowledgment of them happening. You didn’t even get consensus.

Characters.Green Arrow Speedy has a 'first appearance' list for the characters, which is fine, but then it goes into every comic they ever appeared in whether they have trope pages or not. Roy's portion is really long; should it and similar parts be trimmed, cut, or left alone?
