MOS:CHARACTERS
[edit]Hi RCraig09. Re my removal of the 'Characters' section in the Warlight article, I believe MOS:CHARACTERS is clear: "In most cases, no specific section on characters is needed."
The exception "...if a finely crafted plot summary cannot capture this aspect of a story, a Characters section may be warranted" doesn't apply, since the plot summary gives good enough info about the characters. What are your thoughts? — Itzcuauhtli11 (talk) 20:16, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

- @Itzcuauhtli11: A /*Characters*/ section provides a concise summary. A detailed plot summary spreads out characterizations, making it harder for readers to quickly extract who characters are or how they relate. I can't claim it's "needed" but a concise description ("a sentence or two about each") is definitely a time-saver. And in Warlight the characters are definitely unique. —RCraig09 (talk) 20:55, 31 July 2026 (UTC)
