Referring to the Novel "List of Characters" Page[edit]

I altered the link to the novel's "List of Characters" page (which was using the "Main" template) to label it instead a list of the characters in the original novel. It's an important distinction as characters appear in one but not the other, as well as there being substantial changes (such as gender-swapping) to characters from one to the other. The list of novel characters is most definitely not "the main page" for the list of characters in the mini-series, but I was not convinced it shouldn't be referred to at all. However, I look at other novel-to-TV transitions (The_Expanse_(TV_series)#Cast_and_characters, Bridgerton#Cast_and_characters) and see that they omit such entries completely. It appears that the style consensus (via other entries) is that the link is just wholly irrelevant and should be omitted entirely. Any thoughts from others?

Hearing no response, I'm going to go ahead and make this edit. DBalling (talk) 08:20, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
