"Any class serving as a wrapper" - obvious SoP. I will add that this is my own definition, because the original one (suggesting that only primitive data types can be wrapped; see boxing) was incorrect. Suppose I had a complex class that handled sending e-mail, and I wanted to change part of its behaviour, so I wrote a second class encapsulating the first and changing part of its public interface; this wrapper of mine would certainly be a wrapper, and would certainly be a class, and would also be a "wrapper class".

• Delete. I agree with your change to the definition ("wrapper class" can refer to any class that is a wrapper, not just a boxed primitive), and I agree that this new, correct definition is SoP. —Caesura^(t) 01:10, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
• Delete obvious SoP, and I can tell who added it without bothering to look. SemperBlotto (talk) 07:26, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
• Redirect or revise definition and keep. This is often used a set term and it is likely people will look it up as such. --WikiTiki89 (talk) 09:00, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
