My personal problem with using "Appearance" is that that word sort of has a double meaning. On one hand we have "Appearance" sections used to describe how someone looks, and then there are some pages that have an "Other Appearances" section which do not describe how a person looks, but rather other places someone or something unofficially appears in. You see what I'm saying? It's a bit weird, and could be somewhat confusing to some. In my opinion, design makes more sense because it brings to mind character design, which if you ask me is how an information site should view a fictional character's looks.

:Design would be more appropriate if we're adding things like age and etymology to the section. An idea I had was to make it more of a development section, but I think [[Aqua#Design|Aqua]]'s page does this best. We can merge the development sections there are for characters (like on [[Sora]]'s page) with design, and that overall would improve those sections. I'm thinking of this because in reality, describing the physical appearance of a character feels awful redundant with the picture in the infobox and associated galleries. But if we were to retool it as a general character design section, with details about ''how'' they were designed that way (if we know), than that would enhance those sections. As far as ages go, we could always make such a parameter optional for infoboxes if we wanted to, but yeah, we only know the exact or approximate age of seven characters out of the whole series. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 16:53, 20 December 2018 (UTC) |
