I think I've used "colspan" for one or two tables before (can't remember which ones), but I've never understood what makes it precisely different from "width". Could you help me with that?

A "sort-by" option would be neat (assuming this Wiki already has the coding in-place), but I'm not sure it'd play particularly well with what I've got planned - see, part of the reason I'm organizing it all into one big table, instead of letting the Appearance Type sort the organization, is so I can get a little more flexible with the Appearance Type category. Put down not just Playable or Non-Playable, but Semi-Playable, Background Cameo, Collectible, etc. I think that'd be particularly useful for non-orthodox games like Pirates Carnival.

That said, I'll probably still be limiting myself to four colors: red for Playable, yellow for Support (and maybe especially prominent, non-playable enemies), orange for Background Cameo (and maybe NPCs who still have dialogue), and red for Collectible (i.e. they have no physical role in the game and just appear as a trading card or whatever).

... hmn. On second thought, maybe I should put in five...
