Talk:Season 1 (Arrow)

Additional info? Admins please, please read?
Hi, about the "Cast" section, is it possible to add the numbers of appearance after each character? Sorta like how Buffyverse wikia does on season pages? (e.g.: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (season 5))

I'm not saying to change petty stuff like the labeling from "Main cast" to "Principal Cast", but adding the numbers. I think in Arrow Season 2 it would kind of help showing how although Caity Lotz was Recurring cast, she had a very significant amount of appearances.

I do know we can simply count the appearance of each characters by hand when we click on the characters themselves individually; I just thought this page offers the possibility to overall summarize all of the characters' appearance. It's easier to see them all at once instead of going through pages to compare.

It would be like (I'm not linking them here cuz they take up word count) :

Main cast

 * Stephen Amell as  Oliver Queen/The Hood (23/23)
 * Katie Cassidy as  Laurel Lance (23/23)
 * Colin Donnell as Tommy Merlyn (20/23)
 * David Ramsey as John Diggle (23/23)
 * Willa Holland as Thea Queen (21/23)
 * Susanna Thompson as Moira Queen (22/23)
 * Paul Blackthorne as Quentin Lance (21/23)

Recurring cast

 * Emily Bett Rickards as Felicity Smoak (17/23)
 * John Barrowman as Malcolm Merlyn/The Dark Archer (14/23)
 * Manu Bennett as Slade Wilson (10/23)
 * Colin Salmon as Walter Steele (12/23)
 * Byron Mann as Yao Fei (12/23)
 * Sebastian Dunn as Edward Fyers (10/23)
 * Colton Haynes as Roy Harper (6/23)
 * Celina Jade as Shado (6/23)
 * Christie Laing as Carly Diggle (6/23)
 * Kelly Hu as China White (5/23)
 * etc.

The numbers.. well, like I said, I had to go in every character's pages to count them (so it's possible to miscount); not exactly sure what listing order the two sections are following (seems to happen a lot on this wikia and nobody minds?) The Recurring section looks like it was going for the amount of appearances, but then the pattern broke when Slade Wilson is placed before Walter Steele and Yao Fei. If it's about first appearance order, then China White would have been placed higher.

It's just a thought and a small detail to make this information show in a more convenient way. I think it's best to be applied on completed seasons, so you won't have to constantly update the ongoing seasons every time another episode airs. Please consider? =D
