Huh. Interesting. For me it would be on-page appearances vs. mentions, so "waitress dropping off another drink" would feel more substantial and ping my 'another character is in the fic' whereas "protagonists talking about their brother" would not feel like the extra character was actively in the fic. If it was in a movie, the waitress would be credited, the brother would not, and that's how I handle it with fic too.

For an actual DNW, I might ask through the mods if mentions are okay if the prompt called for the type of fic that needs or is significantly improved by that mention.
