(As is probably obvious by my earlier edits) I think we should use the Alternative info box. My reasoning:

1) If something/one is only pictured, referenced, is in a flashback, or is represented in some form of likeness to them, it is relevant to how the character interacts in the given episode. (Listing the episode they appear in can mean anything, so I think noting how they appear is important.)

2) Many characters don't have any lines at all (though these are usually the minor/background, recurring characters). Even so, if the character's first appearance has no lines, but the character plays a relevant role or speaks in the following episode, that won't be noted (a confusing way of saying that speaking roles would be sandwiched between either one or two "no lines" episodes)

3) Any appearance of the character that is abnormal (no speaking role, flashback, likeness, pictured, mentioned) is noted in the "sightings" section at the bottom.

4) On a more minor note: the wikia's formatting has it so that the parentheses are within the quotation marks with the name of the episode. So it looks like this: "Tourist Trapped (likeness)". That just a minor, odd thing, but not too important for this debate
