I think whoever speculated about the population of Wakefield is a bit wrongheaded. They write "assuming half are male", yet there is considerable evidence these days that suggests women did have acting roles. People seem to read Shakespeare and assume that some kind of social progress lead to women playing women in present days, as though Shakespeare couldn't have been a social dip. 96.55.112.12 ( talk) 21:59, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
I propose that the article on the Wakefield master be merged into the authorship section because no discussion of the cycle isn't complete without one about the Master, while the article about the Wakefield Master might not be able to stand alone very well.-- Cassmus 06:50, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
I'm proposing another merge here. This time I suggest that we merge the Wakefield Stanza article into this one because only that article links to this one, and a discussion about the stanza is not complete without an understanding of the cycle (just like the former article about the Wakefield Master).-- Cassmus 22:11, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

We have pages here for York Mystery Plays, Chester Mystery Plays, Coventry Mystery Plays and Wakefield Cycle. In the interests of consistency wouldn't it be better to call this one Wakefield Mystery Plays? That might also serve clarity, since it makes the subject a little more obvious. Alternatively, some might prefer Towneley Mystery Plays since it leaves the question of the Wakefield location open. -- Antiquary ( talk) 19:25, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

The two presentations of the stanza, with 4 long lines or 8 short ones, display almost identically on the screen of my smartphone, which is too narrow to display the long lines at full length; the resulting soft breaks happen to correspond almost exactly with the hard line breaks in the short-line version. I have fixed this by replacing blockquote tags and colons with {{ poem}} templates.
