Maybe this will explain it better: The purpose of the template is to give access to the reader a quick grasp of important information and links to associated pages, where small images of them are being represented at the top-left. For example in an episode page, the season number and the main (and maybe supporting) cast of the episode will be shown on. Another example in a character page, the character's role (main, sub, or minor) in the series, and the seasons they have appeared in (characters may appear in seasons 2 and 3, but may stop appearing at season 4, et cetera). -Per Gumball wiki
