There has recently been many changes concerning this infobox to bring it in line with new CVG standards, so I thought i'd address some of them.
Nothing is wrong with having articles included about specific things, the new conventions beign discussed favour unbrella articles over specific ones, but we don't HAVE lists and umbrella articles, so this suffices. Plus, the proposals are just that, proposals. Not Wikipolicy yet. Firestorm 21:12, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
What was the reasoning behind reverting the edit I made? Other sections with infoboxes will include links to the pages devoted to major characters, notably The Lord of the Rings, a former featured article. The DMC infobox wasn't bloated by adding those links, and it saves the user a click if they start at a game page and then want to see the Dante article for instance. And yes, the Dante article is linked near the top of just about all the DMC pages, but I don't see it as being more redundant than having links to the three other games and the characters page. -- Boradis 23:29, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Based on the fact that the Devil May Cry series is expanding beyond the realm of video games, I thought it might be time to reflect that. Below is my proposal for a new navbox to replace the current one.
Video Games | Devil May Cry • Devil May Cry 2 • Devil May Cry 3 • Devil May Cry 4 • Characters |
---|---|
Other Media | Soundtracks: 1 • 2 • 3 • Manga |
The Other Media section is not well-represented in the current Devil May Cry series of articles, and I feel that it's preferable to have the navbox reflect all of the articles and be functional than just look pretty. It's not an especially large navbox either, so that should take care of most complaints regarding it. Cheers, Lankybugger○ speak○ see○ 18:26, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm totally fine with the added content and tweaked layout. -- Boradis 19:50, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
I think this Navbox is quite good, but it could also be better, and here are some possible solutions for some of the problems.
About the size, well, it could be surely smaller, specially if we don't put the whole tittles of the games but rather something like: " Devil May Cry • 2 • 3 • 4
And about the OSTs link, well, I think that the best solution would be to make only ONE article about all DMC's OST, dividing it into sections for the games. That could solve us the problem as, being for all the games, the link would be relevant. Don't ya think? ^^U
Oh, well, hope that this helped a bit. ( Alexlayer 02:37, 23 March 2007 (UTC))
Something more. I believe it is good for this Navbox to have an Other Media section, since it can help us not only with the OSTs and the Manga, but with any other kind of media related to DMC that's not a videogame, like, for example, the "Raising the Devil" DVD and the others.

Support although Alexlayer's comments are not unfounded. If you add the content mentioned, then it will be full support Quatreryukami 03:07, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Conditional Support if you have the title in the template be Devil May Cry media, rather than Devil May Cry video games. Peace, -- The Hyb rid 04:22, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

This one is much more compact. The Soundtracks article is something I'm about to dive into right now. Cheers, Lankybugger ○ speak ○ see ○ 18:47, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I would separate DmC from the previous games if it had sequels but currently it has nothing so the reboot section seems kind of empty. What are your thoughts? Tintor2 ( talk) 23:08, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
Per the uploader's description of the file used as the logo, it's a fan creation, not an official one from Capcom. Recommending that it should be replaced with namely this

Amending that it's apparently mimicking DMC3's logo just without the "3." - 23.241.11.196 ( talk) 08:35, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
