Thanks for placing it on the category. Once they are classified as recurring, with appearances they will be given pages, yes? I specify with appearances because if someone was minor but is only mentioned will they be given (or kept with a page). Partly just making reference for Cassidy but I gather he will be given special consideration because of (potential) page views; like that of Charles that doesn't appear but heavily viewed after his page was created. I believe Hiram was another because it was speculated that he'd appear eventually in S2, which he did.

Like said, relevancy can be either or against in various ways for various characters. I don't necessarily agree with picking and choosing because at the end of the day they are all still minor characters whether their role was relevant or not so I think defining it as such is vague. That's just my opinion. I've seen other communities do this, whereas like TVD only highlights that they appeared with a picture and their actor (and nothing beyond that). Minor Characters are meant to push along plot points. I can see that Young Serpent does that for the scenes he's in, that is obvious. I don't think his influence or appearance is relevant to the overall plot. That's normally the dividing line between main and guest characters over supporting.

I'm going to assume that all the listed ones on the S1 page is considered relevant, since they've not been removed. I'm not sure if I'd agree with that. Their roles are rather forgettable for me, let alone any of the other minor characters that did not recur and have their own pages. If you can identify more relevant minor characters from S1 that do not have their own page nor is currently listed, then I can assist. I can work on a couple of episodes every now and again. Or S2, it doesn't really matter to me. Minor characters don't typically have large amounts of info associated with them, so I can write them rather quickly, once they've been identified. I can exclude Woodhouse and McGinty since you've already started that elsewhere. Can I add Aunt Criket and Uncle Bedford to the S1 and S2 pages; they were relevant to those plot points? I've listed them on the family page, but I don't see why they couldn't be featured there as well.

I can write Ms. Weiss, if you'd like, once a format has been chosen. Or since edits is generally fluid, can write it and format it later. Though that just makes extra work. Whichever you'd like.

Guest stars subject to plot relevancy as well? I was under the assumption that it was how they were credited but that's not the case; just as you say, is a coincidence. Speaking of, would a guest star category be relevant of such cast? I notice that some categories were being changed, and that there wasn't a delineation with guest cast/character, just that they've been recurring.

Is there a general policy on article creation? I only know that Categories are with consultation and infobox templates are a big no, steaming from the episode template being altered and that generally most are protected. I've generally asked prior to creation but I wonder if that is cumbersome to you.

Hmm. This gives me pause to be more specific elsewhere. Thank you.

Speaking of specific. When you have the time, will you update the Manual of Style for a few things. I've noticed that on several episode pages the cast order varies between how Guest and minors are listed, i.e. some are placed under the main characters or both to the right. Then Minors are listed before Guest or vice versa. The recent episodes are more uniform and I was going to correct those that do not follow the format such as from Chapter Forty-One: Manhunter i.e.

Co-Starring
The manual doesn't specify the order, but I assume that the above is the desired format.

Additionally. Are we using Throughout Riverdale/Chilling Adventures of Sabrina or Throughout the Series. The policy states the latter, but I've seen the former used. Is the policy changing or is this too an oversight. If the latter, I will edit those to conform to the policy. But I wanted to check. I wasn't sure if it was going to be specific to their series or not because it changed after the announcement and pick up of Sabrina but I've seen other that still treat it as separate versus "the Series" and wanted clarification.

Also the top navigation does not link to "Riverdale Wiki:Policies and guidelines". It was deleted and moved twice from something else but wasn't corrected there. Just thought I'd let you know so it can be corrected.

Also I was wondering if a group section can be added to the policy. Their structure vary among pages some have certain sections while others don't. I.e. are there specific sections that all group pages must have, while other sections can be added or removed as needed based on what's needed for the page.

Okay sounds good. I might would add that last bit to a Article Creation section as I mentioned above for a general policy suggestion.

Thank you for indulging the questions and comments (as well as my opinions particularly with Minor Characters). It has been insightful.
