Major Character Death Warning
This is sort of a M*A*S*H question but also an AO3-warnings question.
In a post-GFA story where Frank Burns never actually appears as a character but the reader finds out during the story that Burns is dead, do you have to tick the Major Character Death Warning tickbox? Technically yes because Burns is a major and so if he dies this is a Major Character Death. Technically no because he's not a major character in the story in which he dies. Which is it? Asking for a friend.
If Frank Burns is not a major character in the story in which his death is mentioned, is this a Warn For Major Character Death situation?
Yes, you can never have too many warnings
Yes, Frank Burns is a Major Character
No, Frank Burns is not a major character in the story, no warning
No, if you tick that warning people will feel misled
None of the above, I have another opinion and I will add it in the tags
I hate warnings I don't care what you do
