I was part of the spoiler debate years ago and I thought it had been decided major character spoilers would not be revealed in the cast section. I specifically talked about female characters and if they married in the series. But I think it can and should apply here also. Having a 'character reveal' in the cast section is awful. Unwarranted. It makes me upset that still, we are having this problem. Why does a huge spoiler need to be RIGHT THERE? Here, especially. Helly's other name certainly SHOULD NOT be revealed in the cast section nor Cobel's. Her reveal is the big OMG moment of episode one... why ruin it? That's what I just don't get. It's the cast section. A reader should be free to come across the start of an article without huge spoilers. Wikipedia really needs to get a handle on this. The internet sometimes culls info from wikipedia and a person can be spoiled unintentionally. I think it's safe to say if enough people are editing out information, there may be a reason why.

In no way should any change be made to writing to “protect” people that deliberately go to an encyclopaedia article about any subject and don’t want spoilers. That’s ridiculous.
Want to know more about the actor? Google the actor, read the wiki page on the actor, don’t read an article about the character. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.61.233.178 ( talk) 23:04, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
“Enjoyed company perks” literally doesn’t make sense: every employee-that is, most of the cast-employed company perks. Lack of edit summary is also not helpful. Please respond here Rat2. ProcrastinatingReader ( talk) 16:51, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
Instead of rebelling like Helly, he would rather focus on the perks that he receives as a competent worker. His numerous “erasers and finger traps” are a source of pride for him, only because – like his colleagues – he has nothing else of value to hold onto.
Before Natalie (Ms. Cobel’s secractary) tackles her to the ground, Helly tells everyone in the room that the severed employees are tortured at Lumon.
I'd like to add, to the see also section, the movie Cypher as a similar concept of memory erasure, in the work place. It also deals with a character, who has had his memory erased and is actually another person, who is in a mysterious workplace. He eventually learns of his other "self" at the end of the movie. Very similiar theme. You should note the novel "Paycheck," "explores a theme of erasing memory of the time spent on a contract" was also added.... both paycheck and Cypher cover memory erasure.

Ok. It may not have anything to do with the plot. Wouldnt it be funny if we linked the insurrection? No harm done. The reader learns of a historical coincidence that happened when production started. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jkdrako ( talk • contribs) 03:23, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
The text on this page is all bunched together in a narrow colmun, in the middle of the window. There's tons of white space on either side. 2601:189:8202:14C0:1017:CE05:5CA9:6A5B ( talk) 06:40, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
Hey - nothing on this yet, i'd love to write it up, but not sure which section to put it in. Let me know for any ideas. https://books.apple.com/us/book/severance/id1613220757 Ezeva ( talk) 14:30, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
