To expand, the attitude taken in analyzing this comic for the purposes of this wiki should be that this is a brand new venue for the Doctor, full of '''significant''' and '''insignificant''' details. Do people have real lines and actions that advance the story, or are they present just to mutter "Rhubarb, rhubarb" and sort of indicate that, you know, there are other people around here and this particular frame is composed a bit better with someone standing over there? In the former case, yes, they need a mention here. In the latter, no. They don't matter to us. I don't expect, for example, that the [[zigzag plotter]] will receive an entry over at the ST wiki, even if it shows up in a panel or three, because it doesn't matter to ST.

:That sounds reasonable. What about the category issue? —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] <sup>[[User talk:Josiah Rowe|talk to me]]</sup> 13:28, June 28, 2012 (UTC) (didn't realize I was signed out) | :That sounds reasonable. What about the category issue? Before this issue came out, CzechOut was removing [[:Category:24th century individuals]] from the pages of the Trek-related characters, on the grounds that we didn't yet know it was the 24th century. It seems a fairly arbitrary line to draw, if we can say that we know Riker is William Riker (even though his first name hasn't been used yet), but we can't know that he's a human from the 24th century for purposes of categorization. —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] <sup>[[User talk:Josiah Rowe|talk to me]]</sup> 13:28, June 28, 2012 (UTC) (didn't realize I was signed out) | ||
