This has been discussed before, but the cast list in the infobox is ridiculously long. I suggest that it be removed altogether and a note be added to see the cast section. As far as I can see, there is no fair way of judging who deserves to be in the infobox and who should be eliminated. The only option I see is to remove the list altogether. Any thoughts on this? --- The Old Jacobite The '45 15:21, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
I wanted to know the name of the actor who played Omar Little.
(1) I clicked on The Wire, then clicked on Main_cast, couldn't find what I wanted easily so clicked over to
(2) List of The Wire characters
If I were designing the "List of the Wire characters" page, I'd start with a ... [wait for it] ... List! But maybe that's just me. Still couldn't find what I wanted so clicked from there to
(3) Street-level_characters_of_The_Wire
then clicked to Omar's_crew; then to yet another page
(4) Omar Little and associates
By this time the click-click-click was getting amusing :-) But still no Omar. From there I clicked to
(5) Omar Little
Even there, the actor's name wasn't in the opening paragraph, where it should be IMO.
Yes, I see that there were ways to find cleverer, less obvious, places to click to short-circuit this chain somewhat. I see this sort of anal retentive re-directions a lot at Wikipedia lately. If all y'all don't see the problem, I'm afraid I can't edify y'all Jamesdowallen ( talk) 11:13, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: not moved. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Lennart97 ( talk) 08:42, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
The Wire → The Wire (TV series) – And the location "The Wire" be made a redirect to the Wire (disambiguation). The page was moved 13 years ago without much participation. Even then many users had opposed the move. (See Talk:The Wire/Archive 1) The TV series was broadcasted then. Since then many new articles were created on this location and I believe a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC should be reassessed after 14 years. For now it should be redirected to the Disambiguation page Wire (disambiguation). The Wire (India) may also be a candidate for the Primary Topic, but I have not checked all the contenders.
