So, for stories without the Doctor (and some exceptions) we have the Main Character field in the story infobox. However, I can't seem to find any policy on what a main character actually is and its scope seems to vary depending on which page you're on. | So, for stories without the Doctor (and some exceptions) we have the Main Character field in the story infobox.

So, for stories without the Doctor (and some exceptions) we have the Main Character field in the story infobox. However, I can't seem to find any policy on what a main character actually is and its scope seems to vary depending on which page you're on.
For the Torchwood television stories, the whole team is almost always listed as Main regardless of their involvement in the story. For example, Tosh is listed as a Main Character in Out of Time when she has only four lines - with one of them being her name - but, for the Story Continues stories, the fields seem to be stricter. Ng and Orr aren't Main Characters in See No Evil, nor is anybody but Tyler in Hostile Environment despite Ng and Mr Colchester being more involved in the plot than Ianto was in Adrift.
I wonder if we have a policy on this.
