Main, major, starring, lead, whatever character - still all semantics. You may have your own personal definitions for each but they're not universal definitions. If this wiki wants to change 'major characters' to 'main characters', I don't object since both terms are inaccurate depending on what definitions are used. End of the day, pick a term and define it to mean 'characters played by starring role cast members'.

Recurring, guest, minor, whatever characters - another semantic mess. I disagree with using 'guest' character since that creates confusion with guest starring. Cast members are billed as starring, co-starring, or guest starring. Above, we define starring roles separately, but co-starring and guest starring roles are mixed together. Regardless of billing, some of these character have significant roles over many episodes (e.g. Harper, ALIE, etc.), other have minor roles over many episodes (e.g. David, Costa, etc.), and others appear in only one or two episodes (e.g. Shay, Adria, Cadogan, etc.). If we want to use recurring and minor, I'm fine with that, as long we define specific line for when to use each term.
