If I'm understanding what you mean correctly, a template like that would actually take a lot more time and edits to update the appearances across all the LOA pages, the character pages and the Emmerdale in 2017 page.

You already need edit the character's LOA page to add the episodes, update the 2017 total and change the consecutive appearances/absences total if required so I don't really think having a template on the LOA page would have any benefit and would probably make updating the appearances a bit more confusing.

Plus, on the Emmerdale in 2017 page, both the current year total and the running total need to be updated, so that would require two different templates which would make it way more time consuming and edit intensive than the way the appearance numbers are updated currently.

Hopefully that all made sense. Aks
