I see your point, but keep in mind that there are users on the wiki who enjoy this kind of show. We don't do exactly the kind of show that Wiki Channel would - we focus a lot on the family dynamic (see: Life With Twins, G.I. Jennings), and we have shows about college (see: Jamie & Jackie, Becoming a Sendy). We even have had projects that focus on adult characters (see: DubStep Dad). Few shows rely on the random humor Disney Channel does, and the shows that do I believe still do it well.

Additionally, we're currently in discussion for changing that - no one's really fighting for it hard, but that's because (as the poll currently states), the split is pretty close to even on whether or not people want to change. For the users who want to change to try to force it on the users who don't would scare away our current userbase, which is just as bad as scaring away possible newcomers.

The actors thing, I don't really see why it's a huge deal. Adult actors still exist on the channel; they're just not our focus. Shows still feature adults in major roles (again, DubStep Dad. Jamie & Jackie is actually named after one of its adult characters and has had two episodes focusing on adults only, and all of the family shows, unsurprisingly, have parents). Teenage actors are more likely to pursue music careers or be seen on social media - since this is as important on our wiki as writing shows and movies, we focus on teenagers to make those portions of the wiki easier.

I have considered pitching a system for adult actors - it still would not be as detailed as child/teenage actors, but it would allow for more creativity with our adults. If you have ideas for how we could incorporate them, feel free to suggest - we have a suggestions and questions board for a reason.

I'm sorry our wiki isn't everything you hoped it would be. We're open to suggestions, but we function as a community, so there will have to be general community consensus to make any major changes.
