KOF Appearance Page
Between the KOF Characters category and the game appearances section which already appears on every character page, I felt the appearance page was redundant and thus deleted it which was what I explained in the deletion log. It's not really needed here or useful here like it would at say English Wikipedia as every character here always will and does have a page to note these appearances. There's also the matter that charts on Wikia, especially really big ones, look terrible given the enforced fixed width and obligatory pop-out and are more annoying than convenient as you suggest. It's easier to pick out one's favorite character's via the category and compare that way than with a big inflexible chart anyways. Not to mention easier to update for novice and advanced editors alike. Kyosei 19:25, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

You felt it was renundant when I couldn't find the kind of info I posted in this wiki? Which is why I posted that info in the first place. It's a chart where people can compare appearances in games. There isn't a page in this wiki that shows appearances by games. This is one of the reasons I posted that page.

>It's not really needed here or useful here like it would at say English Wikipedia as every character here always will and does have a page to note these appearances.

I don't think sprites are actually "needed" yet I like them and don't complain. And you say here? If anything this wiki being about snk needs more info about snk games than an english wikipedia. And yes I am very well aware that characters have appearances noted in their page. Sadly some are incomplete which is one of the main reasons I posted what you deleted.

> There's also the matter that charts on Wikia, especially really big ones, look terrible

There are a lot of charts like this in a lot wikis. I could even give you some examples. It takes a bit of patience and a well presented chart for it to be okay in my opinion.

>It's easier to pick out one's favorite character's via the category and compare that way than with a big inflexible chart anyways

Yes of course if someone is looking for what I didn't post the chart for obviously, it was for comparing games and characters. For example "what characters appeared in Kof 94 and Kof 95?", "did this two characters appeared in Kof 96?". Also it's useful for keeping a history record of a character's appearances.

>Not to mention easier to update for novice and advanced editors alike.

And well here really you must mean the job of updating the chart I made right? No one is forcing the job to be done. But really you are forcing the job to be deleted which is even worse. And if someone wants to update it you are negating that opportunity by deleting it. So really there isn't a productive action but rather counter-productive since you are deleting the chart and therefore negating the chance of someone updating it. Which is what I was planning to do eventually.

So PLEASE answer me and reconsider the deletion.
