	The basic idea is to avoid unnecessary clutter and go with the concise official answer, regardless of any previous appearances. As Miles put it, "If someone (somehow) doesn't know what game Cloud first appeared in, they should be able to go to the infobox and see 'Final Fantasy VII (1997)' without any extraneous information". Same deal with all the other characters. Maybe changing the infobox parameter to "official debut" would help clarify this as well. ~ [[User:StrawberryChan\|<span style="color: #e68;">'''StrawberryChan'''</span>]] ([[User talk:StrawberryChan\|talk]]) 20:15, January 14, 2021 (EST)		The basic idea is to avoid unnecessary clutter and go with the concise official answer, regardless of any previous appearances.

			:The tough part is that there's kind of inherently going to be a case-by-case nature to these without a neat one-size-fits-all answer. Banjo's appearance in Diddy Kong Racing versus Lucario's minor cameo in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon are pretty different in significance, and the Minecraft stuff is itself a separate conversation as you said. I don't know that trying to make any overly-broad blanket rules will be a good approach.
