Also, the old form of the infobox didn't have two tiers; it was just {{{featuring}}}, which left someone like Vera in a weird place.  Now that we can do both main and featuring characters, it's a bit easier.

If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.

Vera Juarez appears in half of Torchwood: Miracle Day in a prominent role. She's not top billed for any of those five episodes, so does that make her a main character or a "featuring"? Or is it possible she only technically counts as main because of her joining Torchwood momentarily? Also, is there a reason why the infoboxes only make note of her in her first and final appearances? -- Tybort (talk page) 01:22, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

Well, to be honest, I detected a strong drop-off in editor interest in Miracle Day episodes that was probably consonant with viewer dissatisfaction in the series. This is one of the reasons that there's a Torchwood television stories editing track — we needed to do something to get people editing these pages again. Therefore, the fact that you don't find the infobox listings satisfying has nothing to do with policy. It's just that they kinda got left unfinished.
Also, the old form of the infobox didn't have two tiers; it was just {{{featuring}}}, which left someone like Vera in a weird place. Now that we can do both main and featuring characters, it's a bit easier.
So I've gone through all 10 eps of Miracle Day and adjusted them for use with the new infobox. As you seem more interested in Torchwood than me, you may want to double-check the work. But I think I've got all the recurring characters in {{{featuring}}}, now. The tricky bit, which I'm not quite sure I did right, was {{{main character}}}. Dunno if I got rid of Rhys, Oswald and Jilly in all the episodes where they were wholly absent. I think so, but I'm not positive.
