KrytenKoro - "It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living." TALK - How do we want to handle Etymologies specifically? Do we want etymology for everything, just mythology and "foreign" words, or anything that is an "uncommon" word? Also, do we want to include such things for the Heartless? So, explaining that "A gargoyle is a such and such"? This could also tie into or replace an Appearance section, if we don't think the image is sufficient. Do we want to have "Appearance" sections, for that matter, describing the subject's design?

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 23:04, October 28, 2009 (UTC) For enemies and weapons, I think that all information on appearance can be handled in the opening paragraph(s). There isn't usually an incredible amount of information in their "Appearance" section as it is. However, for characters, I think that there is too much information to put into the introduction. Unless if we were to compress all of that information into less words, I would suggest just leaving characters with an "Appearance" section.

Characters do already have an appearance section don't they ? Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne — 23:48, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, some of them do, but not all of them. Xehanort's Heartless, for example, does not. I intend to get an appearance section up for those characters that lack one anyway. I'd like to offer to put up an appearance section for enemies like the individual Heartless and Nobodies as well, but KrytenKoro suggested I bringit up here first. Thoughts on that?

Let's see... if there are extensive details about the appearance, like what the Grim Reaper would have (references to an Inca god), then it's something worth mentioning. Otherwise, I don't think so... if there are only a few things about the appearance to say, then they should go onto the introduction.
