How do you Classify a Guest Star?

From the stats I'm getting, it's clear that people want a list of the Star Cast / Guest Stars. Here's the problem : If a "star" is a member of the regular cast (IE Kaito Nakamura, Mr. Linderman,) can you classify them as "guest stars"?

This is a tough one as in the regular cast you have the primary cast and secondary cast.

My knee jerk reaction is someone that makes an appearance after episode one that you know will be in less than six episodes all season and will likely die or vanish at the end of the season.

How about a Star Cast list as you originally proposed? —hartnell

Drop off the word Guest…sounds alot easier. I'm good with that

Ok. This will be on my to-do list for my first edits here tomorrow. Good wiki-instinct btw. :) That was your first suggestion / edits, wasn't it? —hartnell

Thanks. That's what makes a wiki so cool is that you can change on a dime. Kinda like natural evolution where nothing is forced we just evolve to the solution.

Hmm… "evolve to the solution". Sounds like a book title to me. :) —hartnell

I know, the first thing I was going to do was create the "Star cast list". But I got to thinking, what are we going to do with it? Do you think we should separate the cast list like I have the characters? —hartnell

Your call on that one as you are seeing the raw search data.

If folks are constantly searching for a common string then we should probably break it out so the search creates a result to a page. It doesn't necessarily mean I agree or disagree but simply that I wish to move the site where the users want it to be.

What search data? :) Raw site stats. Ok, give me time to think about it. I'll come back here after I'm done with the GDN bomb for the day. —hartnell

Well, there's "compiled search engine data", which is looked down upon and there's "site stats", which is yours and is fair game. On a professional level, there's a stigma difference. —hartnell
