Forum:Appearances Clean-up

In reviewing many pages lately I've noticed a few issues with Appearances worth discussing. We could also discuss switching to ordering Appearances by published date (as that is easy to identify), but that would separate the listings for book, film, & game versions for most of the sources. Thoughts? --Ironyak1 (talk) 04:28, September 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) Many pages have Harry Potter films listed under Appearances, as the specific film(s) may not be known. For example, see Black Cat Brand Potato Crisps. Should these be removed until specific films can be identified, or is this a valid Appearance listing? (it's not discussed on the Harry Potter Wiki:Layout guide)
 * 2) The Layout Guide says that Appearances "Should be sorted in order of in-universe chronology". This means that  should now come first in the list of Appearances, as its events take place earlier than the HP series, yes? What about  (book) - keep it next to the film or not?
 * 3) The  series makes for a challenge as they span years (1-4, 5-7) and now  has appearances for both HP and FB characters so where in the chronology do these belong? Would it differ by character for Dimensions - FB character appearances goes before HP sources, but for HP characters goes after main book/film sources?
