1076:", and this is consistent with the section name. The issue of listing characters has been discussed time and again, and the consensus is to list cast in credited order, as per the infobox, which is how the cast section was organised. I've restored the cast section accordingly. Unfortunately this has had the effect of reverting the valid changes that you had made but your changes prevented it being done any other way. I've removed the imdb refs, but I disagree with your assertion that too much content is provided on the characters. Coverage of the series consists only of this article and the episode list (which could probably be merged back here); there is no separate " 405: 378: 508: 415: 520: 300: 556: 718: 707: 696: 685: 674: 238: 646: 846: 207: 771: 580: 290: 269: 803: 590: 1095:

To the average person looking at this page, their reference will usually be the character by which they look up an entry is that enumeration (using the actor's name just confuses and makes that look-up more difficult). The section should probably follow the character-list format as outlined in the MOS section

While the statement that actor-as-character format is consistent with the section being titled "Cast" (notably, it is currently "Cast and characters"), the descriptions are all about the character, not the cast (which seems a bit inconsistent). In reality, the section is all about the characters, not

I've just come to look up the real life name of a cast member only to read that they are discovered as a double agent in the finale season finale. Very annoyed! I have removed that sentence as surely the case should be a description of who they are / job they do. Brief, non spoiler type info. It
1052:
The characters should be listed by their names in the series, not by the actors. Have already changed those for Main Cast. Also, recommend listing by alphabetical order, as there seems no reason for the listing as is. Too much content is provided on the characters; it should be identity, not a
1032:
I'm in favor of current spoiler policy, but there is a feasible argument to be made against including such plot information in a list of series characters. The common argument against spoiler warnings is that spoilers should be expected in an encyclopedic plot summary. Leaving crucial plot
961:
While either way is acceptable, consistency across Knowledge (XXG) would be a good thing. Google tells us that "cancelled" is the most common spelling, both within the Wiki and on the broader WWW. Some OCD editor should pursue and wipe out all instances of "canceled."

appears that more spoiler information has been entered for other cast members. Should this be removed too? I wanted to ask because I didn't want to perform a mass edit, and I don't particularly want to spoil anymore of the season by reading anything else :(

Surely Sanjeev has a given name and surname like all the other characters? He was in seven episodes and has no last name, a pity.

Would you please change "cancelled" to "canceled" for me? The reason for this is because "canceled" is spelled with only one "l".
