I genuinely meant what I said. If you feel these issues are closed, I'm not going to pursue the issues further. My suggestion was made in good faith as I've said more than once. John Smith's (talk) 20:36, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not questioning the intention behind your messages, I personally am just trying to maintain the standards of the article as we come to a compromise over this wording. - adamstom97 (talk) 20:39, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well put it like this, I am finding the discussion quite tiring. If you have some further views, I'd be happy to read them. If you have any questions for me, do pose them. Otherwise I think I'll leave it for now and see if anyone else has some views. John Smith's (talk) 20:53, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

reply to your undoing of my edit, per Wikipedia guidelines Recurring is 3 episodes or more I've been told this many times by Wikipedia staff members! Star Trek should be no exception to to that. 2 episodes are simply a guest role. Sincerely a Star Trek Fan. –ACase0000 (talk) 05:06, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no guideline that defines recurring guests as appearing in 3 or more episodes. MOS:TVCAST is the relevant guideline here, and all it says is A cast member or character appearing in more than one episode, or in two or more consecutive episodes, does not necessarily mean that character has a "recurring" role. An actor or character may simply have a guest role across several episodes, rather than a recurring story arc throughout the show. If reliable sources cannot adequately distinguish between recurring or guest roles, then local consensus should determine their status. For a lot of articles, that local consensus is 3+ or 4+ episodes, but this will not always be the case. For Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4 there are a large number of guest stars who appear in only two episodes but they are part of the overarching storyline for the season rather than just making guest appearances in two episodes, including Ma'ah and the other ship captains/mutineers who are part of the ongoing mystery storyline. If there was a strict rule about 3+ episodes then they would be excluded from the cast list, but because we have the ability to form a different consensus where appropriate we are able to expand the list to include them. It is allowed because it fits the story. - adamstom97 (talk) 12:47, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
