So, who was the author of dilogy? Was it David Hagberg or Aaron Allston?

The Cast section for this artical appears to be missing some vital characters from the various Terminator films. Tarrisa Dyson from Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Star from Terminator Genisys. I will be adding these characters to the cast list at my next oportunity. If anybody has any objections to this, feel free to reply to this section or leave a message on my talk page at Zucat ( talk) 02:28, 21 December 2014 (UTC). Thank You :)

Despite what MovieWeb and DreadCentral claim — WP:FRINGE views completely unsupported by Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, the Los Angeles times or any other RS source — a name in a piece of promotional material doesn't necessarily mean the official title. The promo can be referring to the franchise or may be shorthand because "Untitled Terminator sequel" looks awful in a promo. Lets wait until an unquestionably RS source report this.-- Tenebrae ( talk) 22:07, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

It also appears that Terminator is the name being used for the film. Given the policy for films is that films only get articles once they officially enter production, should we be giving this film an article now? Gistech ( talk) 14:46, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
Shouldn't the T-800/850 Model 101 (Arnie) be included in the Cast and crew table for Terminator 3 ? QuintusPetillius ( talk) 11:02, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
An IP editor and myself recently had some disagreements regarding changes in the cast table. A discussion was underway at the editor's talk page, but they haven't responded back, and I'm curious to hear other opinions. These are the areas of disagreement:
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? AJFU ( talk) 19:38, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
@ MacCready: Can you explain why you reverted some of the changes I proposed above? Also, the info regarding O'Brien in the first film has been reverted multiple times. AJFU ( talk) 15:35, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
It took me quite a while to determine which characters corresponded with which actors from the original The Terinator film with regards the identification of O'Brien.This sounds like original research to me. As far as I can tell, no sources have bothered to make the connection between O'Brien and the unnamed cops in The Terminator. Wikipedia only states what has already been published in reliable sources. If sources don't mention it, neither does Wikipedia. Plus, Harrison is uncredited, and it's still not clear (at least to me) which of those cops is supposedly O'Brien. This seems like trivia that would be on a fansite. And aside from the two initial reverts from other editors, I have also reverted this twice. I'm not sure that it should have been restored again while the discussion is ongoing.
I didn't link to human augmentation because that is a character element, not a character link.It was not presented as a character link. "Augmented human" was listed below the character's name. I doubt anyone reading "augmented human" would mistake that for her name. The point of the T-800's note was to prevent clutter. "Terminator (Model 101) T-800 / T-850 / Pops / Carl" is needlessly long. The common names should be sufficient. See also here regarding "(Model 101)".
As this is a Terminator franchise page, not merely for the films, official tie-in material names can and should be used (for example, with regards the title and first name of Sergeant Hal Vukovich)It is a franchise page, but the cast section is specifically for the films. And where is it stated that Vukovich's first name is Hal and that he's a sergeant? AJFU ( talk) 17:50, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
Additionally, one’s opinion doesn’t matter in this case.I assume this was in response to the punks. Isn't it your opinion that the punks should be included? Or is their inclusion here based on a Wikipedia guideline that says recurring characters should be included?
The space below character’s names are restricted for aliases, titles, and alternate names, and are not to be separately linked to non-character pages.Is there a guideline that expressly forbids cast tables from linking to non-character pages? That seems incredibly specific, and I can't imagine why it would be prohibited. Also, do you have any further comment regarding the O'Brien issue? AJFU ( talk) 21:48, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
