This is the discussion page for Template:Appearances.
Here, you may discuss improving the article.

As everyone is probably aware, we had based this entirely on Wookieepedia's template with almost no modification but obviously it should be adapted to the Assassin's Creed universe. For example, I was wondering if we should just merge "creatures" and "sapient species" into "species". For one thing, the only two sapient species in Assassin's Creed are Isu and humans. For another thing, this precise terminology may be a bit awkward for Assassin's Creed fans. Star Wars makes a point of misusing the term "sentient species" to mean "sapient species" and always referring to non-sapient species as "creatures" not "animals".

Apart from this, I am wondering if we should distinguish between geographical locations and political locations. While editing the appearance box for Assassin's Creed: Dynasty, it felt a bit imprecise to list all the locations in China under "China" rather than the actual name of the country at the time, the Tang. So I was confused about this. And yet then again, I also listed geographical locations like mountains which were within Tang territory, so within a state, political and physical geography maybe can blur.

By the way, I noticed that sometimes we list the planet Earth (again, after Star Wars practice), but I would argue we should just omit Earth since essentially all Assassin's Creed settings have been on Earth, so it basically cancels out. It would also remove a level of indentation.

Finally, I want us to consider what other ways we should reorganize our categories for this to tune it to Assassin's Creed. For instance, there is a miscellaneous category, but could we group some things that would go under there into another category? Sol Pacificus(Cyfiero) 15:37, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
