Maybe think about it as 'what would happen if the character was removed'. If the answer is nothing, then is a background character. If the answer is something small, but present, then minor (for example, if Pacifica were removed from the episodes, there'd be some confusion as to why Mabel is at the Golf course at night, but overall, nothing would change)...Does that make sense? I'm assuming, since you're asking, that the wiki doesn't define them? If not, then yes, a minor character might be Pacifica Mini Golf Trainer (Serge) whereas Pacifica might a major character--not a protagonist or lead character, but an important charcter to a few episodes. Recurring would be less than minor, but twice ot more appearances, and anyone else would just be an extra, though I don;t know how categories work and whether or not we can add any :P I'm assuming not, but oh well.

Just now read the second paragraph. I understand what you're trying to say, although I think it would be really weird if Pacifica wasn't there. To that episode, she was definatley, a major character, but I'm not sure how to apply that to the rest of the show.
