The article makes it seem (at least to me) as if the games were censored in Germany because you kill nazis. In fact, they were censored because of the generous use of swastikas and other symbols forbidden in the Federal Republic. Just saying. 91.43.118.234 ( talk) 12:54, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Are they really part of the series? In the first game(Castle Wolfenstein) it says it was an inspiration for id to make Wolfenstein 3-D. I don't think they have anything to do with eachother beyond that. Anyone know anything about when something classifies as part of a certain series? 77.168.211.168 ( talk) 22:07, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

– As by far the most popular and well-known application of this word, it qualifies as the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. People around the world know about the Wolfenstein video games, while not many visit the pages of the couple of people with that name, or the rock. This goes beyond mere recentism, as the series has been a mainstay for decades. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 11:13, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
With regard to the removal of Gamerankings from reviews, this seems to be a bit of a pointy exercise. The IP editor claims that under WP:VGAGG his edits are correct, but "newer" is a very subjective term, and the initial removal also took out games which are unequivocally old - Wolfenstein 3D which started the whole franchise was released in 1981, and Return to Castle Wolfenstein was released in 2001 - making it 18 years old itself.
If you want justification to remove Gameranking, fine, but don't remove older ones when your own rationale supports inclusion, not removal.
Also, don't cast insults just because somebody disagrees with you - WP:NPA if you please.

Sorry it took a few days but I've continued to expand the history section; I've talked about id Software and Wolfenstein 3D and the impact the game had on the first-person shooter genre. I'm still hoping to continue to talk about how each new developer changed the Wolfenstein series and how they affected future Wolfenstein games. Huey117 ( talk) 08:16, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
When reading the section on the old blood, I was intrigued by the description as it being a loose remake of return to castle wolfenstein. However, this is primarily unsourced and the main article on the old blood says that it pays homage or makes reference to. Should the article be rephrased here? Because it may hold similarities since machinegames rebooted the series, but without a source or without proper evidence of the intention to be a loose remake i don’t know if it’s appropriate.
