:: I support {{u|IJBall}}'s suggestion of "Actor as character, character description". the opening title cards list by the actor's names as consistent with many live-action shows.

::If "Cast/Cast and characters," then a comma looks the least bad: {{tq|Nathaniel Potvin as Ryan Walker, a technopath who serves as the pilot for Mech-X4.}} Another option would be {{tq|Nathaniel Potvin as Ryan Walker. Ryan Walker is a technopath who serves as the pilot for Mech-X4.}} However, I tried that approach at ''[[I Am Frankie]]'' and Nyu thought it was too wordy. I guess I'm just not that picky and don't personally understand why you hate the "Characters" format so much. {{smilie}} However, if "Cast/Cast and characters" is the outcome here, then the other live-action series articles that are using the "Characters" format should probably follow suit. If I recall, I changed them all. Also: {{tq|1) when the characters are very well-known in their own right (generally, this probably only applies to the "superhero" TV shows...)}} Like ''[[The Thundermans]]'' and ''[[Henry Danger]]''? Although I don't know why being a superhero series changes anything. Although those series aren't a problem since they have dedicated character list articles.

::: No – I mean, like, Bruce Wayne on ''Gotham'' or Oliver Queen on ''Arrow'' – those characters were well-known in their own right long before the current TV shows ever aired. In those cases, a 'Characters'-format section probably makes sense (though, ironically, most of the articles for these kinds of TV shows actually have a 'Cast and characters'-formatted section...). For most TV shows, ''[[The Thundermans]]'' and ''[[Henry Danger]]'' included, most readers care about the actors first, and the characters they portray second. I mean, here's an example – when people go to the ''[[Zoey 101]]'', do they
::::{{tq|...most readers '''character''' about the actors first... do they '''character''' about a character named "Lola..."}} IJBall, be honest. Are you drunk? [[User:Amaury|Amaury]] (<small>[[User talk:Amaury|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Amaury|contribs]]</small>) 03:31, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
::::: P.S. I fixed that! {{Smiley|tongue}} (But, yeah – my typos have been getting worse lately – I blame old age... {{Smiley|sad}} ) --[[User:IJBall|IJBall]] <small>([[Special:Contributions/IJBall|contribs]] • [[User talk:IJBall|talk]])</small> 03:35, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
::: One other thing – I would ''not'' change other TV show articles that have 'Character'-format listings to 'Cast and character'-format listings, at least not without a Talk page discussion first. What's done is done – if they were originally created with a 'Characters' listing, and it's been stable like that for a while, I would just leave them as they are. (There is no such thing as "consistency" across Wikipedia articles, and it's not worth the effort to even try for that!) --[[User:IJBall|IJBall]] <small>([[Special:Contributions/IJBall|contribs]] • [[User talk:IJBall|talk]])</small> 03:35, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
If I may get a word in, I'd like to let you know that this show's page used to have a character section which I had tried to restore due to lack on their descriptions including my description for Traeger. In other words, I had planned to add more info to it like I did with Davage and Mastermind. I had originally planned to list some of the named monsters like the Clawboon that Kim Grey can now change at will into, but changed my mind just in case it wasn't allowed. If the section is to be renamed, perhaps it can be listed as a character section like some other shows that are on this website. Did I leave anything out? --[[User:Rtkat3|Rtkat3]] ([[User talk:Rtkat3|talk]]) 02:36, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
: You're right – it was until about May of last year. But it's been pretty stable in the 'Cast and characters'-format for about a year now, and as this thread shows, there does seem to be some preference for keeping it that way. On my end, I've explained above why I don't think a 'Characters'-format listing is right for this article... But a 'Cast and characters' heading means that short character descriptions (after the actor's name) is A-OK, so the short descriptions can be added back (as outlined above...). --[[User:IJBall|IJBall]] <small>([[Special:Contributions/IJBall|contribs]] • [[User talk:IJBall|talk]])</small> 03:28, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
:: So we can re-add the short descriptions at some point including the one for Traeger. --[[User:Rtkat3|Rtkat3]] ([[User talk:Rtkat3|talk]]) 16:01, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
::: {{Re|Rtkat3}} I would say, yes – this discussion demonstrates clear consensus to include the short character descriptions. Just don't change from the current 'Cast' (actor-first) format to 'Characters' format when you add the character synopses. --[[User:IJBall|IJBall]] <small>([[Special:Contributions/IJBall|contribs]] • [[User talk:IJBall|talk]])</small> 16:08, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
== Season two and/or series finale? ==
Disney XD's verified Twitter tweeted [https://twitter.com/DisneyXD/status/1031690675111256064 this] earlier. However, it's not clear whether they're referring to the season two finale, series finale, both, or neither, and I'm not sure if this tweet can be included. This is even more confusing than when Brec Bassinger tweeted about the ''Bella and the Bulldogs'' finale, as discussed here: [[Talk:Bella and the Bulldogs#Potential series finale]]. I'm probably also going to need more attention on the episode list as IPs are ignoring the notes.

: Will there be a season 3 of Mech x4? [[User:Basketballplayersplay|Basketballplayersplay]] ([[User talk:Basketballplayersplay|talk]]) 01:55, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
:: Likely not. But because Disney never officially (or clearly) announced that the show has ended, we have to leave it as "present" until one year has passed since the last new episode aired. --[[User:IJBall|IJBall]] <small>([[Special:Contributions/IJBall|contribs]] • [[User talk:IJBall|talk]])</small> 04:26, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
