Overkill
Why does this template exist exactly? What benefits does it provide over simply adding the first appearance directly in the infobox? This template only increase loading time since by using it people have to load the subpages then parse them. That's really unnecessary amount of data to load&process.

I believe you're right, not sure why this template was made. I doubt it's used alot anyways, unless Sewil made a spree across the wiki putting it on all pages. Is there a way to find out? 16:48, February 7, 2017 (UTC)

It's used on Char Box, therefore on every page. There are also other templates like this one which are questionable. My point is, that making things automatic is not always the best way, especially if by doing so you make the code unnecessary complex and inefficient.

Completely agreed. Though a few of the automation are useful (episode vs corresponding chapter automation for example), most are just overly complicated. What's the best way to get rid of it? Just remove it form Char Box? 18:22, March 9, 2017 (UTC)
