The point should be that eras should be changed to reflect eras and settings not the Appearances section. The Appearance parameter in infoboxes is only present for characters, and if that should be changed, it makes more sense that the infobox parameter be removed not the actual section. | The point should be that eras should be changed to reflect eras and settings not the Appearances section.
