To clarify, would you call "major" character one that appears in multiple media? Example would be Categories for "Mulch" and "Bucket" but not the aforementioned "Skuld the Sorceress" and "Scribbler".

Any thoughts on the Categories such as "Skrills" or "Whispering Death Dragons"? i.e. ones listing characters of that species, which are also listed in the infobox of that species page?

In terms of who would qualify as a major character, they'd have to appear in multiple media. Main Characters qualify, secondary characters, which are characters who appear in many episodes, more than a recurring character. A recurring character is a character that appears in some episodes, which means they appear in an episode every so often, and sometimes in back to back episodes. A minor character is one that only appears in an episode or two, but no more than that.

So yes, if they appear in more than a few episodes, and in multiple media, they technically aren't a minor character. Bucket and Mulch, are recurring characters, who appear every once in a while. Most of time they are in the episode and don't add much, so they can't be considered major characters.

But in the end, I'd think that characters who appear in only one media shouldn't have a category for themselves. In terms of the other character categories, I'd have to say that when I created categories I only had in mind in doing categories for the major characters. Others created categories for characters that I would have never created.

In terms of the categories like "Skrills", and "Whispering Deaths", based on the fact that the characters of specific dragon types are listed in the infobox, I'd say the categories like the ones above are not necessary

Lastly, the Wiki Chat Logs category, was not auto generated by the wiki, as Annabeth created that category. I don't know if there are any categories that are auto-generated by the Wikia, but I'd have to say that they probably aren't any categories auto generated by the Wikia.
