Title
Shouldn't the title be "MECH-X4"? That's how it is credited on the Disney XD site. http://disneyxd.disney.com/mech-x4 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.57.130.38 (talk) 08:16, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
- No. I can't seem to find the exact guideline on this, but WP:TITLETM is close:
"Items in full or partial uppercase (such as Invader ZIM) should have standard capitalization (Invader Zim)..."

Cast/Cast and characters format vs. Characters format
Rtkat3 recently made a WP:BOLD edit to add character descriptions, something that's been needed, and also changed the format from "Cast and characters" to "Characters." I did not have any problems with that edit and left it alone; however, IJBall did and reverted.
According to WP:TVCAST, both the "Cast/Cast and characters" and "Characters" formats are perfectly valid to use; while there is no prose on which one to use when, logically, one format is best suited for one thing and the other format is best suited for another thing.
When there are no character descriptions, the "Cast/Cast and characters" format is the best choice:
Nathaniel Potvin as Ryan Walker
However, when you add character descriptions, you get: Nathaniel Potvin as Ryan Walker, a technopath who serves as the pilot for Mech-X4. In that case, it makes much more sense to change the format to a "Characters" format as the following sounds much better and has a better sentence flow:
Ryan Walker (Nathaniel Potvin) is a technopath who serves as the pilot for Mech-X4.
Likewise, a "Characters" format doesn't work as well if there are no character descriptions, as you get the following, which doesn't read as good: Ryan Walker (Nathaniel Potvin)
In short, "Cast/Cast and characters" works best when there are no character descriptions and "Characters" works best when there are character descriptions. Amaury (talk | contribs) 01:04, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
