This also brings up how much information is required on a character before they get their own page. If we condense all the information on a character into a few sentences (as with the Minor Character page which is always locked), then how can it grow if we can't grow it. Obviously not every character is important, but as BenRG posted above their are different types of characters. The Shopkeep appears in numerous episodes but has no real impact on the plot. However the opposite is also true, with characters appearing in few (or even one) episode but having large impacts on the plot.

Just look at characters like Glynda. Sure she has an important role at Beacon and appears in a lot of episodes, but what has Glynda really done after the first episode? She stopped a food fight and reconstructed the broken subway entrance. Aside from that she just acts as Ozpin's assistant, not really impacting anything.
