Multiple Appearances

I like the idea of this template, and it saves the user some time in posting the info. However, it's limited, as you can only post one Better Than You Data, and many characters have been featured twice, such as Grarrg. Would it be best for characters like that to just type it out? --Jacob 22:24, 4 Jan 2007 (CST)

How about a template BTY2 which says something like "The character was also featured a {{{number}}} time in..." e.g. The character was also featured a second time in...--Demon 03:49, 5 Jan 2007 (CST)

I mainly created it as I kept having to check previous articles to see how we formatted BTY data ;). I like the idea of a BTY2 template, I hadn't thought of this... Or indeed, "name was featured again on date, scoring score in game. The prize was a prize. Quoted as saying..." etc... --Macbeth 10:20, 5 Jan 2007 (CST)
