Forum:Cover Page Characters Subsection For Chapter Pages

I'd like to propose a new subsection be added under Quick References for the chapter pages. This subsection would be a separate table to display characters who are featured in cover pages/color spreads, instead of what we do currently which is to group them all together with the characters who appear in the chapter properly.

This would solve one problem which is that if a character appears in just the cover, we add the (cover) label after their name in the table currently, but if a character appears in both the cover and the chapter, then we don't add that label, making the information we display inconsistent. With this new subsection the character can be put in either or both tables as appropriate.

This is an example from the latest chapter of how it could be.

The table is also less cluttered in each subsection as we don't need to do the (cover) label anymore after any character's names.

As for implementing it, it would be simple to do since no new template is required. We'd just go through gradually from the start of the series and update where appropriate. Damage3245 (talk) 13:56, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

I agree. On chapters with color spreads it becomes hard and annoying to read the table since I and most people probably didn't come to see a cover page's characters. Hollowhen (talk) 14:31, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Two words: Chapter 691. Or is that four words? I'm in favor of this, but I think it should be another tab. Similar to our infoboxes with the pre/post timeskip thing. I also think it should mainly be used for colorspreads which usually have a wide cast, while cover stories and other non-spread covers just have a couple characters. But using it for the non-spreads is fine. 00:17, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
