You May Template
Can't think of a good way to word this template when there are many different appearances across different games. Here's what I got:

1 unique character, 1 other appearances:

 * Favorite:


 * This looks fine, as this was the standard in which this template was created for originally. Straight forward and doesn't need to be improved on or changed. I think this should be the standard for character such as these. From what I can see, this is already the standard for most articles I came across and I haven't seen any real variations on this at all.

1 unique character, 2 other appearances:

 * Wording changes slightly depending on the article, although the changes are very slight. So one way of listing characters who have 2 additional appearances like the above examples should be chosen and agreed on to be used across the wiki.


 * Proposition:

1 unique character, 3+ other apperances:

 * Favorite:


 * Thankfully nobody shares their name with Ellen so we can just direct them to the disambiguation page. Alternatively, all of her appearances are listed in the character box. This once again already seems to be the standard across articles like this that I could see.

2 unique characters, 1 appearance each:

 * For characters who have the same name but only have one appearance each, I've seen a few different examples laid out on character pages. Here are three I've found as examples:


 * Once again, pretty straight-forward, but need to pick and decide on one universal wording for all articles like this.

2 unique characters, 1 with 2 appearances, 1 with a solo appearance:

 * This is where things get complicated because there are different ways to word these. I've pulled a few examples. Here are two ways to list one character with 2 appearances (or more) and then the solo character's appearance beside:
 * Favorite:


 * And then here is the flip side of the solo character's page listing another character with the same name who has multiple appearances:


 * Proposition:

But honestly, using the format of the Kevin one I edited the template a bit and kind of really like this? Though idk if we want to make another template just for this one instance.
 * This is where my head starts to hurt. I'm not really sure what we should be doing here. How should this be listed in a way that makes sense and doesn't feel too "wordy"?

2 unique characters, each with 2+ appearances:

 * Favorite:


 * 'Proposed alternate:


 * Here's what I've managed to find for these types of characters. Lots of variation here on how they're worded.

3+ unique characters

 * Iris is the only example I could find here. But there are three different characters all with the name Iris. Her appearances are listed and then it links to the disambiguation page for other appearances. Makes sense and goes back to being pretty straight forward, and I think that this is fine.
