+I'm going to warn you, your edits to ''[[The Forgotten Son]]'' were essentially vandalism at the last two marks. I could report you to an admin, but I will not this time.
-I'm going to warn you, your edits to ''[[The Forgotten Son]]'' were essentially vandalism at the last two marks. I could report you to an admin, but I will not this time.
+The reason that deleting links from the page is a ''very bad idea'' is that those links are some of the only on the wikia that indicate that the pages need to exist. Note that many of the characters that you so delicately vandalized ''are'' in the book, but are not mentioned more than once. Never the less, they are still characters in the book, as much as [[Scared man]] is in Series 4. Furthermore, the thin line between character being mentioned in prose and appearing is ''very'' thin, and even if he does not appear he needs to be noted so that people know that the page needs to be made. Because it does. Very much. If anything, you can put ''(mentioned)'' next to the name and move them to the bottom, but do not remove them.

+And to clarify, what qualifies as a mention is a ''character'' mentioning someone. When Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart says "You and your sister Isobel don't get along great" ''that's'' a mention. When the book says "Pastor Ted stood, with a worried look on his face, but then sat back down," ''that's an appearance, no matter how small.''
 And I must stress very clearly that putting your opinions on a page's layout on the page and not on a talk page is very, ''very'' not cool. If you have an issue bring it to a talk page. Don't vandalize pages. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]] ([[User Talk:OttselSpy25|talk to me, baby.]]) 20:13, September 2, 2015 (UTC)
