On a large wiki like Wikipedia and other websites with discussions and reviews, it is common to identify a character as a protagonist, antagonist, etc., but doing so in cast lists is to be avoided since each person may interpret those roles differently and may not always agree. Since the DreamWorks Wiki is a more informal wiki, these definitions are not useful and are actually more complicated than what we need.

  • On a large wiki like Wikipedia and other websites with discussions and reviews, it is common to identify a character as a protagonist, antagonist, etc., but doing so in cast lists is to be avoided since each person may interpret those roles differently and may not always agree. Since the DreamWorks Wiki is a more informal wiki, these definitions are not useful and are actually more complicated than what we need. When writing an article or including a cast list, simpler terms should be used like main character, hero/heroine, supporting characters or villain. Avoid using words like protagonist, antagonist or deuteragonist. By using the simpler terms, the characters' roles are easily understood without having to look up a definition. Another reason for using the simpler terms is that once you look at the definitions of the formal words, many of them do not apply to a character. When they are repeatedly added, it becomes a case of "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
