			:Thus is the sort of thing that justifies having a style guide, since I think using em/en dashes and multiplication symbols is technically correct. We're just not using them, because that's our thing. The style guide allows us to get a lot of these little rules in writing. --[[User:Funkychinaman\|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman\|talk]]) 23:34, 24 June 2014 (EDT)

	::: I think chronological listings would mainly work in the case of TV series, especially if there are individual season pages where you can pinpoint them better. If they re-use one particular firearm I usually only make one entry and note the different seasons/episodes (not always though). Films on the other hand.. I'm not sure chronological works in that case. I would generally default with alphabetical but perhaps going in order of the listings on the film page might be easier. Any prominent or hero pieces should have priority though, I agree. Otherwise, not sure - either way would be fine with me.

	Have we ever come up with a standard for how to list guns on actor pages where they use multiple weapons in the same film/series?

Related to this, what is the preferred order to list weapons on media pages?

If they re-use one particular firearm I usually only make one entry and note the different seasons/episodes (not always though). Films on the other hand.. I'm not sure chronological works in that case. I would generally default with alphabetical but perhaps going in order of the listings on the film page might be easier. Not sure though, either way would be fine with me. [[User:StanTheMan\|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan\|talk]]) 14:30, 30 September 2013 (EDT)

	Have we ever come up with a standard for how to list guns on actor pages where they use multiple weapons in the same film/series? As far as I can see there would be 4 different ways of doing it: the order they are used by the actor in the film/series, alphabetically and then the order they are listed on a page that is split into sections with each section being either chronological or alphabetical depending on what the page author did. Related to this, what is the preferred order to list weapons on media pages? I favour listing them in chronological appearance as this seems the better way in terms of helping people who are coming to the site to try and ID a weapon, but some people list them alphabetically. --[[User:Commando552\|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552\|talk]]) 12:25, 30 September 2013 (EDT)		Have we ever come up with a standard for how to list guns on actor pages where they use multiple weapons in the same film/series?

	:I always went with chronologically or by importance on media pages. Hero guns first, if any, then chronologically. --[[User:Funkychinaman\|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman\|talk]]) 12:33, 30 September 2013 (EDT)		:I always went with chronologically or by importance on media pages.

			::I use the same order they are listed on the movie page: revolvers, pistols, SMGs, shotguns, rifles etc. [[User:Greg-Z\|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z\|talk]]) 12:42, 30 September 2013 (EDT)
