Forum:Appearances section

With the same game appearing multiple times in the Appearances section because of different versions, I suggest we use a slightly more condensed form. Honestly, it starts look kind of ridiculous when you have "Persona 3, Persona 3 FES, Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4, Persona 4 Golden, Devil Survivor, Devil Survivor Overclocked..." etc all on separate lines. The worst however is when its the same game listed multiple times, like "Megami Ibunroki Persona, Revelations: Persona, Shin Megami Tensei: Persona." There's a few relatively low traffic pages where I've changed it to "Persona 3 / FES / Portable, Persona 4 / Golden, Devil Survivor / Overclocked" because thats probably the only way to condense it, but that could end up being somewhat misleading to anyone unfamiliar with the format. Would a more condensed form be acceptable, at least on some of the demon pages with absurdly long "Appearances" lists, or should it just stick to every single version of the game gets a separate mention on the list? (which would mean a lot would have to be edited to include all 3 versions of Persona 1, anything in Last Bible would need Revelations: The Demon Slayer added, etc).

Also, since the pages for Devil Children Red Book and Black Book, and Fire Book and Ice Book, have been combined, perhaps they could be combined as well when both are listed?

Another suggestion is that perhaps Games and Manga/Animation appearances could be separated, rather than being listed mixed together as they are now, to make it easier to distinguish which are games and which arent at a single glance. Nothing major, just something simple like listing the games first, and manga/anime underneath that.
