Story pages

As confirmed by forum discussion, cast lists shall give the name of the character, as listed in the credits seen on first transmission of an episode.

The character name shall be displayed exactly as in those credits, and in the order seen on original transmission. Thus, if characters are credited with only a first name, only that name should appear in the credits, linked by pipe trick to the full article name. For example, in the credits for The Hungry Earth, the character of Mo Northover shall be rendered thus:

[[Mo Northover|Mo]]

Any actors credited on subsequent transmission, or in home video releases, that were not originally credited shall be placed in a special subsection which alerts viewers to that fact.

For audio stories, cast lists should ideally be taken from the back cover of the casing, of the original physical release, again, exactly as listed.

Season/series pages

As confirmed in a forum discussion, cast lists on season and series pages can have a maximum two subsections. These subsections can only be called recurring and guest.

• Characters that appear in more than one story are "recurring". This includes characters that may have appeared in more than one story across different seasons/stories. For instance, Cassandra O'Brien.Δ17, who appeared in one story in each of series 1 and 2 of Doctor Who, is considered a "recurring" character.
• Characters that appear in only one story are "guest".
