I wasn't really sure what to do for all the cast sections, as it's not an area I usually edit. And I wasn't really sure what to do for the film ones, so I just sorted it out somewhat to see your opinion. About adding 'supporting cast' to TV series pages: yes, that was unintentional (it was supposed to say recurring). I think I was doing so much editing of cast sections that I got confused. But yeah, the TV series cast sections were supposed to follow your model (main, recurring, guest, other). Whoops. :D

Your other two problems are ones I've thinking about for some time, but haven't actually thought of a way to tackle them yet. The thing I've been doing with the episodes in the Appearances sections is only a temporary fix, so to speak. Of course, it's not feasible for to do the same thing for characters like Felix King (who is in RtA, HCMK and both the animated series and movie). Templates wouldn't really work the way they do on TV series wikis, because we've got too many works (books, films, etc.), and it would get way too messy. The same with the show/hide buttons, as you pointed out.

I think the best thing would be to have appearance lists for each character/place/whatever, so that all the information is there, but not bogging down the main article. The page could be called (for example) "Anne Shirley/Appearances", and the link to it would be in the portal at the top of the page (along with "Gallery", "Study", etc.).

Character lists, like we already have, but for films and TV series as well, would also be good to have. That way, we could keep track of all the characters who appear in them, not just the ones with lines. It would mean a lot of rewatching and note-taking, but I think it would be worth it.

To long; didn't read: I agreed with everything you said, pretty much. :D
