[edit] Crediting Automatons

I just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts on exactly what the correct practice is for crediting the TFA automaton characters in the "Featured Characters" lists on the individual episode articles. There's a little bit of inconsistency at the minute; sometimes they have their own "Automaton" category, sometimes they're listed under "Other" and sometimes they get no credit at all. I'm also noticing that none of the ones listed in the lists tend to be included in the order of appearance numbering. Is this because we're not considering them to be real characters? In most cases (say, Sparkplug or the police drones) I'd agree, but I think there's a case to be made for the likes of Tutor Bot and News Bot, who do seem to have a level of personality, even if it is a pretty basic one...Muddtallica 01:28, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
