Template ((Castlist)) works as well (Cast listing or Castlist).Eschoryii (talk) 23:00, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
I saw a case of an editor changing from ((Cast listing)) to ((Cast list)) claiming in the edit summary that this somehow had an effect on how the page worked for mobile viewers? "(→Cast: So it works on all mobile devices)
" [1]
Is there a difference? If so why? (If there isn't then why an editor claim there was?) Seems very strange. -- 109.76.203.103 (talk) 14:39, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
I am not quite sure how to articulate this. There are certain pages where where you have the cast list side by side with a multiple image template box. However, when you decrease the size of your browser, the image box size remains the same, but the cast listing section gets smaller. Eventually, it is just squeezed to a very small portion of the browser screen and is virtually unreadable. Look at the "Cast" sections for El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie or Interstellar (film) as examples. Make your browser half the size horizontally to replicate the problem I am talking about.
These sections are fine on mobile, the cast listing seems to be "flexed" below the multiple image box. Is there a way to fix these on the browsers? — Flowerkiller1692 (talk) 07:32, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

, or to any floated element for that matter, by the way. The solution is not entirely satisfactory. It doesn't work on IE (which probably isn't a big deal nowadays as many things don't), but particularly, I don't like how a floated element makes the entire list wrap at the same position as the first item, thus taking up more space vertically, which doesn't happen when not using the template. It may be reasonable to discourage the use of the template (or anything similar) in tandem with a floated element in the first place. Nardog (talk) 08:07, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
@Nardog: I was pointed to this discussion by Flowerkiller1692 as I'm also seeing an issue with the cast list section on El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. I removed the multiple images template and placed the images in the next section as normal thumbs which worked for on my device, but was immediately reverted so that "cast memebers aren't elevated above one another", by Masem. I started a discussion here, before being directed here. Is there a solution that won't automatically be reverted for... reasons? Thanks - wolf 16:20, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
I don't see any use for it as it just fallbacks to param 1 in case it's not set and will override 1 if set. — DaxServer (talk to me) 09:25, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
