Why does the English Wikipedia not know anything about Titus Makin Jr.
to say? He has a formative role in the series. The German Wikipedia is further ahead and has dedicated an entry to him - quite rightly.

MOS:TVCAST
gives clear guidelines of when to exclude. First its if its less than 3 seasons. Second it its minimal changes. Since this show has had over 50% of the show cast change and 5 seasons, it does not meet either criteria. The only reason given by

:
is in essence
Wikipedia:IDONTLIKEIT
which is not a valid excuse. Please give a policy based reason to exclude, as your revisions are against the style guide. -

- It's hardly a matter of
WP:IDONTLIKEIT
, which trivializes my concerns. The table is massive for such a small cast, and provides precious little information given its size. WP practice is to commit information to narrative, using a table only when that can't be accomplished. The changes to the cast are relatively few (percentage notwithstanding), and easy explained and understood with the cast descriptions. The table is simply unnecessary bulk that forces readers to scroll past it to get to the key information about the cast and characters.

- Clearly many people disagree with you since its been added multiple times by multiple people. Your comment "changes to the cast are relatively few (percentage notwithstanding)" doesn't really make sense to me. What are you measuring the changes in other than the percent of people? Again, please provide what guideline or style guide you are using to draw your conclusion, because what you are saying goes against the established guideline. -

- I'm trying to prevent further long term edit warring on this page. Per
WP:SILENTCONSENSUS
If an editor withdraws without comment the other editor should, before assuming consent, {{ping}} the silent editor and alert them that their silence will be construed as agreement.
@
Drmargi
:
, this is that notice. You have been silent for over a week now and further silence will be understood as a consensus. I didn't have an opinion on this initially, and probably would not have taken the time to add it myself, but with the number of cast changes this series has had, I believe that it's useful to provide a fast summary to our readers. Twelve main cast members is not a "small cast",
Reservation Dogs
is a small cast with four, or even the six over at
Magnum P.I.
. If the bulky size is your main issue, perhaps minimalizing to this would help:
- ^
Jackson West is played by an uncredited
stand-in
in the first episode of the fourth season, due to Titus Makin Jr. departing from the show after the third season.
- ^
Credited as a regular up to the sixteenth episode of the first season.
- ^
Credited as a regular starting from the tenth episode of the fourth season. Prior to this, she is credtited as "Guest Starring".
- I do believe the positions of the characters changing from one season to the next is rather trivial and could be constrained to the character descriptions or episode summaries, and it does cut the size of the table nearly in half.

- I am fine with the revised table, I only reinstated the previous table that had been put up -

Spoiler regarding Officer West in character bio saying he is killed in season 4 should not be in character bio but in episode recaps

- It's fine where it is. The episode ran a couple seasons ago, so West's death is hardly a spoiler this long afterward; spoilers are advance knowledge of episode events. Please see

As far as I know, the only season of this show released officially by ABC or eOne was season 1; seasons 2-5 are available on DVD from a few vendors on eBay, mostly shipping from China. If there's information about the latter seasons' official release on DVD, please cite the source.
