Forum:Inclusion policy of unnameds

This was just a minor thing after the Forum:2_small_policy_ideas was implemented - but in copying the inclusion policy from the unnamed characters pages to the inclusion policy at Wiki_24:Policy, the wording has changed from "unnamed characters with spoken lines" to "any character with significant English dialogue". Now this is fine, it is a change I agree with, but it's brought up some questions on User talk:Blue Rook about what constitutes a line, what is significant dialogue, and whether or not this is a retroactive change or not.

My feeling is that if we do change the inclusion criteria, then we should retroactively apply it to existing entries, otherwise we get a situation where we're saying "characters with insignificant dialogue are ineligible, unless they were added to Wiki 24 before 24th March 2011, in which case they are eligible". This "insignificant dialogue" thing can lead to grey areas, and some of it is judgement calls, but I think we should at least be consistent regardless of when entries were made--Acer4666 17:58, April 13, 2011 (UTC)
