Warnings[edit]

Do not use misleading edit summaries when making changes to Wikipedia articles. This behaviour is viewed as disruptive. To continue could result in loss of editing privileges.
Also, more importantly, Plagiarism. Blatant copy of BBC material is a breach of copyright and has been reported. Please read Wikipedia:Copyright violations. [1] Clearly copied 'n' pasted.
You cannot write a summary of a plot that is yet to be broadcast.

Supporting cast[edit]

It is missing the following: Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey as themselves. There's a 99.95% chance of this being correct, and the CPS are happy that the threshold has been met to add this info. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 11:45, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Aw, Mother of God, don't risk DCS Carmichael catching sight of this!
All Hell will be set loose.

I will only make mobile edits (on my burner phone), and make them to the letter of the law! Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 12:43, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

James Nesbitt[edit]

Several aggressive editors have inserted James Nesbitt into the cast list. Nesbitt did not appear in this series. He is not included in the on screen credits. His character was unseen, non speaking and was represented by two photographs of Nesbitt. This needs explaining if he is to be included, despite several aggressive editors removing the explanation multiple times. If he is to be included, the explanation is needed. I don't think he should be included at all. He did not appear in this series. Or any other series.50.200.89.170 (talk) 15:50, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Split proposal[edit]

There is no consensus on splitting the article. Felix QW (talk) 20:00, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Split Line of Duty (series 6) into articles for each individual episode. There has been extensive critical and press coverage of the 6th series of Line of Duty, which in my belief would be benefit individual articles for each episode. WP:WHENSPLIT and WP:Television episodes may be relevant. RoanokeVirginia (talk) 21:21, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose We don't split a seasonal article into indivdual episode articles. This doesn't preclude editors from writing individual episode articles in addition to the season article, which is what I would suggest be done. That said, not every episode is equally notable, and some may be redirected to the season article. ----Dr.Margi ✉ 21:58, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Further fragmentation would be a disaster. Pity the poor reader who has not yet watched the series.

Acronyms[edit]

I imagine this comment might apply to the pages for all of the series to date, but is it good form to ask a Wikipedia reader to do a web search to learn the meanings of acronyms such as DCI on their first usage in the page? Would it not be better on their first usage to spell out what they are and then provide the acronym in parens for later usage in the page? I do not know if the meaning of these acronyms is obvious to UK readers, but perhaps it would be better to assume they are not obvious in other parts of the world.
