Forum:CT Archive/"Characters" or "Dramatis personae"?

Wookieepedia &gt; Consensus track &gt; 

Most of our articles on books, films, television episodes, etc. include lists of the characters featured. Sometimes, our articles call this list "Characters", but other times, "Dramatis personae" is used. Recently, Adamwankenobi and I had a little back and forth on the issue at "The Cries of the Trees", so we decided to call this CT to see what others thought.

Should these lists of charactrers be called "Characters", "Dramatis personae", or something else? — SavageBob 19:03, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I realize that many of the Star Wars novels are using dramatis personae nowadays, but it sounds snobbish and pedantic to me. Wikipedia should be accessible to as many readers as possible, and that means not using fancy language for the sake of using fancy language. — SavageBob 19:03, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
