	If a character is deceased, do we label them as such on the portals for all seasons, or only those they were dead in? Also, where was the discussion about how we label characters (minor vs recurring vs main)? I thought it was something like 3 episodes to become a recurring, but don't remember where the rules were laid out. As it stands, it seems strange to have Arthur as recurring in Season 3 and Maya as main. --[[User:Stevehim\|Stevehim]] 13:12, 28 November 2008 (EST)		If a character is deceased, do we label them as such on the portals for all seasons, or only those they were dead in?
