Izaya's introduction in the novel involved two women who planned to go through suicide with him. It was a lot like his encounter with Rio and, like in the anime, it was a way to introduce him as an antagonist so that we'd have an understanding of his character before he interacted with the protagonists. So while the encounter with Rio didn't happen in the novel, a situation a lot like it did.

The idea of a separate page for plot differences didn't appeal to me at first, but when you mention going through it arc-by-arc, it sounds clear, more so than having the information on each character page. Would we title it something like "light novel and anime differences" and break it up by arc, then? That sounds like the neatest way to do it.

On anime exclusive events, it's harmless to leave those, isn't it? For example, Shiri's introduction to the story and Mikado and Masaomi's interactions with Ryo. To my knowledge, they don't interrupt or contradict any of the canon events.
