→ A better Manual of Style for Part articles...

Hi guys, I've been thinking about Part articles recently and how different each one is, so I propose that we come to a decision on how we want them to look. Here is a few ideas I have drawn up:

Appearances in Template:Part

First of all the appearances section of Template:Part:

Idea 1 (using commas)

{{Rating|3}}
{{Part

|Price=
|Colors={{Colourbox|Red|Red}} {{Colourbox|LC=23}}
|Appearances=[[5421 Star Teether]], [[2021 Gift Set]], [[2001 3-in-1]]
}}

'''Part 31627cx01''' also known as "Duplo Primo Animal Starfish with 8 Arms, Yellow Center and Face Pattern" is a [[Primo]] part. Later, it was used in [[Baby]].

== Appearances ==
'''Red:'''

* [[2001 3-in-1]] (x1)

'''Bright Blue:'''
{{Incomplete}}

{{External info/Part|31627cx01}}

Idea 2 (using <br/>)
