Please see this edit first.

The point of the Appearances section is to indicate exactly when that "specific" artifact appeared in-game. In the case of Auriel's Bow, it appeared in four different games but the effects of each are vastly different. This is why there are separate articles for each incarnation of the Bow. However, my edit to clarify that error was reverted because the Appearance section on the page of an individual version of the Bow should list the other games it appears in. Isn't that what Auriel's Bow is for ?

In the Wiki Chat, Jimeee feels that the Appearance section is completely redundant if it just mentions one game, or is limited to just one game and should therefore be removed from every article. On most other wiki's, the purpose of the Appearances heading should only be to indicate the specific game in which that instance of the location/item/book/whatever it is appears in, as it is technically wrong to assume that Windhelm (in game) will exist in that exact form in other games. The same holds true for Hagraven and other such articles. Please use this thread to discuss the issue, thanks.
