User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon/@comment-38288735-20190125173637/@comment-5918438-20190516061246 I suppose infoboxes do also have a variable for main enemy. I can think of a (small enough but notable) number of examples in infoboxes -- such as they currently exist -- in which a species is listed under Featuring because they're not actually an enemy in the story.

I do think there's some use in listing Fendahl for Night of the Fendahl on Big Finish Torchwood series, or listing Wirrn on UNIT: The New Series, to use two recent examples.

That said, these tables should not generally contain as much information as is given in the infoboxes, and there will always be more information to be found by clicking the link to the story page.

The featuring section in these tables is useful for series where the cast switches up regularly (like monthly Torchwood), or to pinpoint "the one with X recurring character in it" to find the story you're looking for. My question is: Does adding Kate, Osgood and Josh to every line at UNIT: The New Series actually add anything valuable to the page?

EDIT: Ah, I see this is your (OP) #4, that characters who appear in just about every story should not be included.
