Hmmmm. Per the infobox thing, I think we could go on a case-by-case basis as far as including the infobox for a given character goes. Why? Well, Ichigo's got a couple non-Image Gallery/Fight pages that don't include his infobox, so there's precedent for just keeping it on the main page. I think it only really needs to be included for characters who have new information pertaining to the data it lists - for example, Roka here with her Fracción status, Resurrección, etc. and I guess Katen Kyokotsu for having a Shikai to use, though I wouldn't protest if that also got canned for consistency.

As for a layout, that should also be a case-by-case thing, but separated into a few different types, I think:
 * 1) For characters who just have extensive non-canon *appearances* but don't get major additions to their character therein, like Rukia, I'd be fine with just having the appearances template at the top, followed by subsections for each type of media - Movies, Video Games, Soundtracks, Novels, etc. - with elaboration where necessary (for example, a given Novels section for a character who had a decent role in both, say, SAFWY and CFYOW would have further subsections for each with a plot synopsis for their involvement, maybe a picture if we're lucky).
 * 2) For characters who get super fleshed-out in a non-canon appearance, like Roka, Seinosuke, Katen Kyōkotsu, and so on, I would have a character template and a more standard character page layout (Personality, Plot, Powers and Abilities, Trivia, etc.) filled with the relevant info from whatever they were focused on by (I'm pretty sure it's just one thing in all cases but I could be wrong), then an "Other Media Appearances" section to cover all the other stuff they appeared in, like Soundtracks and Video Games. The key here would be to not get redundant with the main page where possible, so no Appearance section unless their appearance underwent a drastic change due to the story.
 * 3) For Hisagi and Shinji...hoo boy. The big, BIG thing with them is their Bankai, I don't think there's any other major "changes" made to them in the non-canon material...so what I would suggest is to give them a plot section for CFYOW, a standalone Bankai section to detail that stuff, THEN the template to cover the rest. That seems like the best compromise at the minute.
