I figure I should mention this, but as of now, we don't know if the film is a sequel or reboot. That's why the article simply says that it's the "eighth installment of the franchise". Obviously, it will be eventually announced whether or not the film is a sequel to Saw 3D, so please do not add "sequel" without a citation to a reliable source.

This page has Gregg Hoffman listed as one of the producers. However, his Wikipedia page states he died in 2005. Has there been a mistake on this page or his page? Helper201 ( talk) 01:02, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Gregg Hoffman did in fact die in 2005, but has posthumously credited as producer on every Saw sequel, including this one — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.177.240.37 ( talk) 19:39, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
Any more proof for the changed name? -- 88.65.121.110 ( talk) 16:06, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
I've been told to "find a reliable source or stop edit warring". By that logic, shouldn't the entire plot summary be removed as well? There's no reliable source for that either. But because it's what actually happens on-screen, no one is objecting to it. Why doesn't that apply here?
The film itself is the source. Unless I'm expected to find an article or interview that specifically mentions the fact that Tobin Bell gets an on-screen credit, which isn't going to happen because in what circumstances would such a thing exist to begin with. If Variety released an article tomorrow saying that Donald Trump was part of the cast, would that be added too? What's in the actual film should trump (no pun intended) any pre-release sources where these things are A. subject to change B. possibly intentional misdirection from the filmmakers. This very example may well be a case of B. - stating that Bell is uncredited makes it more of a surprise when he actually appears in person. If he were just in the movie as a voiceover role then it would be more believable that he would not be credited.
When does this end? When do we stop including wrong information in the article? The Blu-ray release? Do we need to wait for the most stringent editors of this page to see the movie and read the damn credits themselves? I'm sure once the likes of the user I've quoted above actually does so there will be no need for any of this "reliable source" pantomime - they'll just go ahead and edit accordingly.
This might come across as a little aggressive, but what the hey. There's only so many times I can accept getting penalised for removing false info. TR-BT ( talk) 01:36, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

I would remove "appears to die" from the sentence that talks about the 5 people and the buzz saw trap, since that tends to let the reader know that they really aren't dead, and ruins the twist of the film. I would change it to "and is pulled into the buzz saws." Kippermand ( talk) 13:45, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
Somebody keeps adding in that this movie had the lowest debut in the franchise which is factually wrong, Saw 6 had the lowest opening debut with 14.1 Million. Check the Saw 6 wiki page itself for citation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fliesrule ( talk • contribs) 07:07, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

In every cast list for each Saw film, there is a link to each article for each character within the cast list. I am unable to link Ryan (from Jigsaw) to the Jigsaw cast list under List of Saw characters because of Ryan (from Saw 3D). Could someone fix this issue (on the main page for Jigsaw) and correctly link Ryan (from Jigsaw) to the correct place in List of Saw characters?
Hello,
I recently made a change to the plot section. The last usage of "reveal" was changed to "divulged" so as to broaden the vocabulary of the plot section and steer it away from using "reveal" as often. This change hopefully fits well, though I understand the original usage of "reveal" as it is easily understood. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cadden Communications ( talk • contribs) 22:17, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
