User blog:Andisimon/Possible update for Character Editing Guidelines - please comment

Fearless Diva asked to create another blog post so everyone can comment on vote on some general guidelines concerning first and last appearances for characters that can be integrated into the "Character Editing Guidelines" page (https://choices-stories-you-play.wikia.com/wiki/Character_Editing_Guidelines)

The question arose because there are several characters among different series whose first and/or last appearances depent on your decisions, mostly diamond choices. So that we're all on the same page while adding such info to their infoboxes, I begin reposting my suggestion that I already posted on FD's message wall. It is a combination of formatting already used here.

1. we put (Official) for the first and/or last free route appearance if characters also appear in premiums scenes before or after the named chapter

example: Priya Lacroix, Max Warren, Kara Sinclair who first appear in premium scenes and only later in the free route

2. (Flashback) for characters like Gaius who first appear in free flashback scene

example: Gaius who only appeared in flashbacks and not (yet?) in the free route

3. (Premium Choice) for first and last appearance that we have to pay diamonds for in the present chapter

example: again Priya, Max, Kara

4. (Premium Choice; Flashback) if the premium scene is set in the past

example: Amy from Lovehacks who only reappears in a flashback scene that you need diamonds for

5. (If recruited/rescued/etc: Determinant) if we had to spend diamonds on them in previous chapters but not in the chapter itself?

example: all allies from TCTF that only reappear if you have spent diamonds on them

6. (Determinant) if the character may or not appear depending on free decisions in previous chapters.

example: Jeff Duffy/Pierce Sterling, Becca's sister Alexis.

Alternate wording could be (if dating Becca; Determinant)

''Please leave a message what you think about those. Are there any other things that may have to be mentioned? What do you think about 5. and 6.? Should we use both or integrate them into one?''
