So the question here is how to read
WP:VG/DATE. We've got this: In the article lead, release dates should be summarized to be as general as possible, avoiding specific mention of platform and region releases unless significant. Whenever possible, the release dates in the lead should be summarized to the year of release, or month and year if further applicable.
To me, this seems to say that if a game is released on, say, July 1 in Japan, July 2 in North America, and July 3 in Europe, we would summarize it as "The game was released in July 2017" - generalizing what would otherwise be a lot of specific information in what should be a summary of the article. When there's just one single release, writing "July 2017" instead of "July 1, 2017" doesn't save any meaningful amount of space and isn't helpful to the reader.-- IDV talk 07:57, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
Should the article for the original Splatoon or this article be made to match, by either adding a plot section to the original, or editing the plot in this article into gameplay, as in the original? I'm sorry if this is confusing. SnowGolem1238 ( talk) 23:53, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
Yesterday, I added the latest sales numbers from Nintendo, so the first two quarters of numbers were individually detailed. Dissident93 removed the sentence on the first quarter's sales on the basis that the new numbers made the old irrelevant. I believe that info should be restored so the reader can compare the launch sales to lifetime sales and get a better understanding of the game's performance over time. What should be done?

Should we mention the upcoming Off the Hook concert at Polymanga 2018, and also the Octo Expansion? Visokor ( talk) 10:52, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
@ L ke: I'm thinking if we must have a square tile for the lead image, we might as well use the icon displayed on the Nintendo Switch home menu, rather than an alternative version of the physical packaging artwork. It would be recognizable to both digital and physical game owners, rather than to only one of the aforementioned groups. – PhilipTerryGraham ( talk · articles · reviews) 15:34, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
There seem to be a number of problems in this article. I would appreciate it if someone could scan through it and make fixes. Thanks! Hockeycatcat ( talk) 07:54, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
