What format should we use for the article – navboxes or sentence outlines ? — HELLKNOWZ ▎ TALK 09:42, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
First off, this is the strangest article I've come across on the 'pedia (and I've been around). It's almost impossible to navigate or digest. It also seems to be a poor copy of this article.
But aside from that, what is the "What type of thing is a video game?" section supposed to be for? What type of information is it supposed to convey? Not only is it horribly named, but it just links to topics that don't even answer the question or have anything to do directly with video games. I realize it might be in a state of flux, so what is the plan with this section? Is it going to develop into something logical or can we just nix it? — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 17:01, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
Well, I feel silly. I must have been in a rush. I'll delete the eponymous section. — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 02:38, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
" Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:12, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
Could we replace the current list of video game genres with Template:Video game genre, and further link to List of video game genres? It seems like genres are sufficiently covered and shouldn't be manually listed multiple times. ~ Mable ( chat) 17:02, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
