The link is a valid news article and there are plenty others out there if you simply Google "Red Dead Redemption DLC bug". And, despite it having only been for a 36 hour period, I think it's significant to mention it alongside the DLC release article, as it is now notorious amongst the community and, I believe, in coversation (even 5 years from now), it will be shocking to see if a discussion of this problem is not used in the same breath as talk of the DLC. I think the glitches significantly impacted not just gameplay for that day, but also in the future, hence why I felt it neccessary to include it. - Vemnox
Hi ferret, sorry if the 'advert' tag was annoying - one learns something new everyday and today I have learnt to at least give the talk page a chance before slapping a gert big banner on it. I have made a few points on the talk page instead, hopefully these are taken constructively and lead to further improvements to the article.. Lee∴V (talk • contribs) 23:04, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi - Just curious as to why he Slime brand was removed from the Slime page - which includes various other pages. I wasn't meaning to step on any toes, so I apologize if I did that. I just assumed it was a great way to link to the Wiki I need to set up for the company since most people will probably search for "Slime" ...

Hi Ferret, I've declined your speedy deletion request on Xbox 720. This is not the same information as of 2007 and there are six reliable sources reporting about the thing which makes it notable. You might want to consider another Afd though. Regards, De728631 ( talk) 17:06, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
Why did you remove or undo the edit I made to the Steam page? You cited that what I added was already covered and it was not. There are privacy concerns and more that users complain about. Some of the criticism is due to Steam managing games that were purchased in a retail store and being forced to be logged into Steam to play them, even though nothing on the product purchased said anything about the need for an Internet connection. That and if it is a single-player game, and your Internet connection is not working or you do not have one, you cannot play your own games. Those are only a few of the criticisms. So why remove them from the page? -- Chris McElroy —Preceding undated comment added 09:16, 7 February 2012 (UTC).
I did ask the question on the article's talk page twice where no one responded to the question. I also added why there were no reference links and how I can easily add them. And the topic on those limitations is a softball at best. Seems to promote the product and go out of its' way to avoid the privacy concerns and the ramifications of this to music, movies and other things. What if you had to log into apple.com every time you wanted to listen to a song you already paid for? There is a lot more to it. Sorry if others have not addressed this properly. But it needs to be added to that page. So, a little help would be appreciated. I'm a new editor, but been around on the web a long time and I'm known for being a vocal critic when it comes to consumer protection. But I'm not slanting the topic in any direction, just wanting to add factual concerns about Steam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.78.119.101 ( talk) 18:41, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
Hey, I just wanted to say that I am very pleased with how you, Izno and myself have unified all the action RTS pages into a well-formed system including the main page, categories and templates. It seems like that after all this time, there is finally a unified consensus and sturdy base to work off of, unlike what we had before. I hope we can continue this progress by building up the action RTS page and its components to a higher standard. It just really seems like having the page called "Dota (genre)" was messing up the inspiration and unity of the Wikipedia community. DarthBotto talk• cont 00:42, 08 February 2012 (UTC)

As long as it has a handful of reviews from reliable sources like Gamespot and others (see [[WP:VG/S for a comprehensive list) it should be okay for an article. And as long as you are careful in adding the information in an unbiased way, there's no real COI issue. Case in point, the guy behind Blendo Games is a member of a forum board I'm on. I've asked him for information informally as a friend on the forum to make that article and his game articles. But the only bias is the fact I can add free pictures that he's licensed out appropriately - never a bad thing. WP:COI doesn't prevent someone directly involved from adding information, just that we expect them to add it unbiasedly.
If you want, you can create the article in your userspace and then ask again if you want someone to confirm if its notable or not. You can't yet add images there, but at least you can write out most of the work there. -- MASEM ( t) 00:30, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
If there's original research happening, it's pretending that Herzog Zwei had an important role in the Action-RTS genre. It's not even remotely similar to Aeon of Strife or DotA- it's a traditional real time strategy game, which is all specified in the link given. If it belongs on wiki, it belongs in the article for that genre, not this one. I'd like you to remove your reversion.

Hello! World at War may not have the Black Ops subtitle, but it is no doubt in the same continuity as Black Ops, and it is stated on the Black Ops page that BO is a sequel to World at War - they are undoubtedly within the same sub-series.

Hey, Ferret. I thought I'd stop by and confide with you and gather your opinion for simply the sake of knowledge over a subject that you and I have both dealt with. As you know, the extent of the articles Dotaveteran edits are merely action RTS articles and he makes them seldomly; he'll contribute to a bunch of pages and not log in or give feedback for months at a time. Well, as it so happens, his most recent array of edits seem to have been targeting me. I admit, a couple article references on the Dota 2 page were written by me as a journalist for SK Gaming, which is a reputable source. He took the liberty of removing articles written by SK Gaming and replacing them with first-party articles written by Valve, while leaving a hostile message to me in the change log, without even contacting me directly.
I do admit, those references should not have been added by me, but I suppose I added them as early placeholders for when more reputable, third-party references would be available. Third-party is the key phrase, take note, as articles built around subjective first-party references don't hold up well. Therefore, his edits were wrong in one of two regards. The first being that he was removing references strictly pertaining to me, which is vandalism and harassment. The second being that he was replacing the references with first-party content, which is an excellent way to bump an article's quality rating down.
I'm writing to you because I'd like your input. Is it just me, or just this editor really have no regard for learning about Wikipedia and improving upon his contributions? I mean, he doesn't respond to talk page discussions, he reverts edits that contradict the "Dota genre", he replaces "see also" with the "Dota genre", which shows an incessant need for page ownership. His complaints against me seem hypocritical in light of such behavior and it irritates me that he really does not seem to take any heed while editing.
What are your thoughts on what he does? His contributions are so seldom that he could hardly be considered a threat to Wikipedia, but he also doesn't seem to be helping. I admit I've been wrong in the past; hell, I've pretty much done a 180 in my knowledge and work with Wikipedia. So, I'm not asking for support with confronting him or anything, since I'm not planning on such an over-zealous action, but I would like some input on the matter.

Hi Ferret. You re-edited information that actually needed to be edited. I'm inclined to believe you know little or nothing about the gaming community and existing tensions within several of them simply due to the term MOBA. For starters the history is somewhat incorrect - it labels DotA as a MOBA... that isn't the case. DotA is DotA ; it's the reason the so called genre even exists. DotA still has over 34 million players in CHINA alone. Everyone in the HoN (Heroes of Newerth) DotA (Defense of the Ancients) Dota2 and even Starcraft/Starcraft2 (they're a big brother community to DotA) find the term MOBA being applied to ANYTHING else but League of Legends EXTREMELY offensive. You're welcome to ask the larger websites (playdota.com - teamliquid.com - joindota.com - prodota.ru etc) what they think... But MOBA is a term that is to be applied ONLY to league of legends.

Please stop incorrectly labeling DotA2 as a 'moba' game. Valve Cooperation has stated officialy what the genre of their game is. And by extension, the creater and handler of the game Icefrog, who is currently working with Valve, has also stated his game is an ARTS game.

The same way that Neil deGrasse Tyson has a say in his religious views as displayed on wikipedia, Valve has a say in the genre name of their ARTS game, which not only pioneered the genre, but is still the bases of many games within the genre. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doglicker9912 ( talk • contribs) 18:24, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
I am not comparing it with religion, I am comparing it with the way someone VIEWS their own property. NDT has a right to have his property labeled accordingly, in the same way that Valve has the right to label their property accordingly. It does not matter what other people use, DotA is the original and it is in the hands by Valve. They have every right to call it what they wish, because it is their own. Doglicker9912
Hey Ferret. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.
We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.
Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) 21:32, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
If the upcoming community warfare feature belongs in the gameplay section, so does the history of how well the developer has tracked their delivery timelines.

I undid your reversion because, while your reversion was correct at the time, it is no longer correct as I finished posting the discussion to the talk page (I had forgotten to submit it earlier).

I am using the term that is the most neutral. The dota-like genre revolves around the fact that the games are similar to DotA. Because DotA is considered an ARTS by its current handler, icefrog, the whole genre is therefore an ARTS by transitivity. 'moba' is a buzzword that does not explain the dota-like genre, its origins, rather, its only use is mass-marketing and a slick off-the-tongue buzzword. It is not a game genre as every game is a multiplayer online battle in an arena if it has pvp/multiplayer. ARTS is a descriptions based on the nomenclature that a sub-genre should have its parent genre included in the name (e.g; political comedy). Please stop reverting my edits as I am using the genre which is most neutral by form of nomenclature and transitivity. Thank you. Correctingsomestuff. —Preceding undated comment added 00:52, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
Please do not change my edit on Valve's List of Games. You should not be allowed to decide what someone else names their child. Valve and Icefrog has already stated what they want their game to be called. ARTS is the most neutral term, as it followers the proper nomenclature for the naming of subgenre names, in which the parent genre name is located in the sub-genre name, e.g; political comedy. If you wish to change Valve's mind, you can try. However, in the same sense that we dont call DotA "DotI" we don't call DotA anything but an ARTS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fixerupper5555642 ( talk • contribs) 16:53, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

You reverted my inclusion of Battleborn on the list of MOBA games, citing notability. I referenced the Notability Guidelines and the point in question seemed to be "In general, notability is an attempt to assess whether the topic has 'gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time' as evidenced by significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the topic". While the Kotaku article I provided is considered a primary source, I feel that articles in Forbes: [1] Polygon: [2] and N3rdabl3: [3] are sufficient secondary sources to meet notability guidelines as much as any other game mentioned on this list, which usually only list a primary source. I've no doubt you have years of experience in video games and have a breadth of knowledge on the subject. However, I have been working in the VG field for the past 25 years and in MOBA games for the past 6 years (not for Gearbox), and I personally find it valuable to be able to see which games are in this genre as well as what's coming out. If you have some other criteria that you would like to cite for why you feel Battleborn should not be on the list of MOBA games, I would welcome a discussion. Otherwise, I'd ask that you please re-include this game on the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vaylen ( talk • contribs) 19:23, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I have undone your revert on the Source engine article. The sourcing while correct, strictly only apply to Respawn's highly modified licensed fork of Source.

You reverted my edit on the CoD AW page regarding the Day Zero release date. Can you please explain why you reverted it as the information on Wikipedia regarding the Day Zero release is incorrect. Further down the page it then explicitly states that there will be a Day Zero edition released in North America on 3rd November. Again this is wrong as I know first hand it is available in Europe and most likely other parts of the world.
I'm all for people reverting changes when someone has deliberately come along and vandalised it but reverting changes just because you don't agree with them is wrong and probably grounds for banning.

I think you are mixing two different issues together. The merge of generated-related templates and the transfer of content from Template:Video game consoles to Template:Home video game consoles are different issues. That list only lists home video game consoles, so it should be in Template:Home video game consoles instead of Template:Video game consoles. Whether we should merge generated-related templates to one single template is another issue, which you should not mix them with. I can put the merge issue aside for now, but handheld game consoles etc are obviously also game consoles. You should not use the term video game consoles just for home consoles. Thanks for understanding. -- Cartakes ( talk) 16:09, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

If a Wikipedia page has its own category, it is generally expected to be in this category too.

You can also check Handheld game console, which belongs to Category:Handheld game consoles and not Category:Video game consoles (but Category:Handheld game consoles in turn belongs to Category:Video game consoles). So it is already inconsistent by now. -- Cartakes ( talk) 15:23, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi. The article Home video game console is a duplicate of video game console lacking some improvements the latter received. I was thinking of redirecting Home video game console to video game console but wanted to make sure there wasn't any useful information that was added in the first one to extract first.
This is the reason I copy/pasted the second article into the first one to compare them as they seemed almost identical. I didn't find how to compare 2 different articles beetween themselves otherwise. Is there a way to do it ??? Thanks. (edit: you spoke of a "Show Changes" button ? Where would that button be, as I searched how to do the comparaison any other way before doing what I did ?)
And what do you think to not let 2 almost identical articles in 2 different places ? This really make sense to me as any modification will likely only be made to one and not to the other. But at the same time, to have a separate Home video game console was making some sense as there are separate articles for handheld game consoles and other type of console, but not if it's to have ... the same article.
Pretty complicated as there are many close articles on consoles: Beetween the "history" articles, the "list" articles, the "home" or "handheld" console articles and the console article itself... Mevo Wiki ( talk) 19:36, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

The link is a valid news article and there are plenty others out there if you simply Google "Red Dead Redemption DLC bug". And, despite it having only been for a 36 hour period, I think it's significant to mention it alongside the DLC release article, as it is now notorious amongst the community and, I believe, in coversation (even 5 years from now), it will be shocking to see if a discussion of this problem is not used in the same breath as talk of the DLC. I think the glitches significantly impacted not just gameplay for that day, but also in the future, hence why I felt it neccessary to include it. - Vemnox

Why did you remove or undo the edit I made to the Steam page? You cited that what I added was already covered and it was not. There are privacy concerns and more that users complain about. Some of the criticism is due to Steam managing games that were purchased in a retail store and being forced to be logged into Steam to play them, even though nothing on the product purchased said anything about the need for an Internet connection. That and if it is a single-player game, and your Internet connection is not working or you do not have one, you cannot play your own games. Those are only a few of the criticisms. So why remove them from the page? -- Chris McElroy —Preceding undated comment added 09:16, 7 February 2012 (UTC).
I did ask the question on the article's talk page twice where no one responded to the question. I also added why there were no reference links and how I can easily add them. And the topic on those limitations is a softball at best. Seems to promote the product and go out of its' way to avoid the privacy concerns and the ramifications of this to music, movies and other things. What if you had to log into apple.com every time you wanted to listen to a song you already paid for? There is a lot more to it. Sorry if others have not addressed this properly. But it needs to be added to that page. So, a little help would be appreciated. I'm a new editor, but been around on the web a long time and I'm known for being a vocal critic when it comes to consumer protection. But I'm not slanting the topic in any direction, just wanting to add factual concerns about Steam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.78.119.101 ( talk) 18:41, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
Hey, I just wanted to say that I am very pleased with how you, Izno and myself have unified all the action RTS pages into a well-formed system including the main page, categories and templates. It seems like that after all this time, there is finally a unified consensus and sturdy base to work off of, unlike what we had before. I hope we can continue this progress by building up the action RTS page and its components to a higher standard.

As long as it has a handful of reviews from reliable sources like Gamespot and others (see [[WP:VG/S for a comprehensive list) it should be okay for an article. And as long as you are careful in adding the information in an unbiased way, there's no real COI issue. Case in point, the guy behind Blendo Games is a member of a forum board I'm on. I've asked him for information informally as a friend on the forum to make that article and his game articles. But the only bias is the fact I can add free pictures that he's licensed out appropriately - never a bad thing. WP:COI doesn't prevent someone directly involved from adding information, just that we expect them to add it unbiasedly.
If you want, you can create the article in your userspace and then ask again if you want someone to confirm if its notable or not. You can't yet add images there, but at least you can write out most of the work there. -- MASEM ( t) 00:30, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
If there's original research happening, it's pretending that Herzog Zwei had an important role in the Action-RTS genre. It's not even remotely similar to Aeon of Strife or DotA- it's a traditional real time strategy game, which is all specified in the link given. If it belongs on wiki, it belongs in the article for that genre, not this one. I'd like you to remove your reversion.

Hey, Ferret. I thought I'd stop by and confide with you and gather your opinion for simply the sake of knowledge over a subject that you and I have both dealt with. As you know, the extent of the articles Dotaveteran edits are merely action RTS articles and he makes them seldomly; he'll contribute to a bunch of pages and not log in or give feedback for months at a time. Well, as it so happens, his most recent array of edits seem to have been targeting me. I admit, a couple article references on the Dota 2 page were written by me as a journalist for SK Gaming, which is a reputable source. He took the liberty of removing articles written by SK Gaming and replacing them with first-party articles written by Valve, while leaving a hostile message to me in the change log, without even contacting me directly.
I do admit, those references should not have been added by me, but I suppose I added them as early placeholders for when more reputable, third-party references would be available. Third-party is the key phrase, take note, as articles built around subjective first-party references don't hold up well. Therefore, his edits were wrong in one of two regards. The first being that he was removing references strictly pertaining to me, which is vandalism and harassment. The second being that he was replacing the references with first-party content, which is an excellent way to bump an article's quality rating down.
I'm writing to you because I'd like your input. Is it just me, or just this editor really have no regard for learning about Wikipedia and improving upon his contributions? I mean, he doesn't respond to talk page discussions, he reverts edits that contradict the "Dota genre", he replaces "see also" with the "Dota genre", which shows an incessant need for page ownership. His complaints against me seem hypocritical in light of such behavior and it irritates me that he really does not seem to take any heed while editing.
What are your thoughts on what he does? His contributions are so seldom that he could hardly be considered a threat to Wikipedia, but he also doesn't seem to be helping. I admit I've been wrong in the past; hell, I've pretty much done a 180 in my knowledge and work with Wikipedia. So, I'm not asking for support with confronting him or anything, since I'm not planning on such an over-zealous action, but I would like some input on the matter.

Ok sorry maybe I got too emotional because I spent lots of time improving Wikipedia articles and then I get called a potential spammer, but on the other hand I shouldn't have referred to your edits as vandalism either haha since they were good faith too, so I apologize for that, anyway I am done with editing that template so I guess that's that.

Hello Ferret. I Was Told That It Was My Last Warning For Vandalizing A Wikipedia Page. Might I Just Add That My Ouya Section In Eighth Generation Consoles Should Be Included. I Am Just Trying To Be Helpful And My Important Section Keeps Getting Deleted. Can I Please Keep My Ouya Section In Eighth Generation Consoles, Because On The Ouya Wikipedia Page, It Clearly States That Ouya Is An Eighth Generation Console. There Is Proof That It Is, Indeed, An Eighth Generation Console.

Hi Ferret. You re-edited information that actually needed to be edited. I'm inclined to believe you know little or nothing about the gaming community and existing tensions within several of them simply due to the term MOBA. For starters the history is somewhat incorrect - it labels DotA as a MOBA... that isn't the case. DotA is DotA ; it's the reason the so called genre even exists. DotA still has over 34 million players in CHINA alone. Everyone in the HoN (Heroes of Newerth) DotA (Defense of the Ancients) Dota2 and even Starcraft/Starcraft2 (they're a big brother community to DotA) find the term MOBA being applied to ANYTHING else but League of Legends EXTREMELY offensive. You're welcome to ask the larger websites (playdota.com - teamliquid.com - joindota.com - prodota.ru etc) what they think... But MOBA is a term that is to be applied ONLY to league of legends.

Well, now we have a source... of sorts. My problem with it before was nobody was offering any kind of rationale as to why it was included, so for all I knew it was wishful thinking on behalf of the given editor. It didn't help that several anonymous IPs were responsible for adding it repeatedly after it was reverted, and that IPs usually have trouble leaving any kind of edit summary (these ones being no exception).

Please stop incorrectly labeling DotA2 as a 'moba' game. Valve Cooperation has stated officialy what the genre of their game is. And by extension, the creater and handler of the game Icefrog, who is currently working with Valve, has also stated his game is an ARTS game.

The same way that Neil deGrasse Tyson has a say in his religious views as displayed on wikipedia, Valve has a say in the genre name of their ARTS game, which not only pioneered the genre, but is still the bases of many games within the genre. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doglicker9912 ( talk • contribs) 18:24, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
I am not comparing it with religion, I am comparing it with the way someone VIEWS their own property. NDT has a right to have his property labeled accordingly, in the same way that Valve has the right to label their property accordingly. It does not matter what other people use, DotA is the original and it is in the hands by Valve. They have every right to call it what they wish, because it is their own. Doglicker9912
Hey Ferret. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.
We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.
Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) 21:32, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
If the upcoming community warfare feature belongs in the gameplay section, so does the history of how well the developer has tracked their delivery timelines.
If you insist on taking the context out of the gameplay section, I propose moving both the context and the mention of upcoming features down into the development section where they both might fit better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.246.42.158 ( talk) 13:18, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
I undid your reversion because, while your reversion was correct at the time, it is no longer correct as I finished posting the discussion to the talk page (I had forgotten to submit it earlier).

I am using the term that is the most neutral. The dota-like genre revolves around the fact that the games are similar to DotA. Because DotA is considered an ARTS by its current handler, icefrog, the whole genre is therefore an ARTS by transitivity. 'moba' is a buzzword that does not explain the dota-like genre, its origins, rather, its only use is mass-marketing and a slick off-the-tongue buzzword. It is not a game genre as every game is a multiplayer online battle in an arena if it has pvp/multiplayer. ARTS is a descriptions based on the nomenclature that a sub-genre should have its parent genre included in the name (e.g; political comedy). Please stop reverting my edits as I am using the genre which is most neutral by form of nomenclature and transitivity. Thank you. Correctingsomestuff. —Preceding undated comment added 00:52, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
Please do not change my edit on Valve's List of Games. You should not be allowed to decide what someone else names their child. Valve and Icefrog has already stated what they want their game to be called. ARTS is the most neutral term, as it followers the proper nomenclature for the naming of subgenre names, in which the parent genre name is located in the sub-genre name, e.g; political comedy. If you wish to change Valve's mind, you can try. However, in the same sense that we dont call DotA "DotI" we don't call DotA anything but an ARTS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fixerupper5555642 ( talk • contribs) 16:53, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

You reverted my inclusion of Battleborn on the list of MOBA games, citing notability. I referenced the Notability Guidelines and the point in question seemed to be "In general, notability is an attempt to assess whether the topic has 'gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time' as evidenced by significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the topic". While the Kotaku article I provided is considered a primary source, I feel that articles in Forbes: [1] Polygon: [2] and N3rdabl3: [3] are sufficient secondary sources to meet notability guidelines as much as any other game mentioned on this list, which usually only list a primary source. I've no doubt you have years of experience in video games and have a breadth of knowledge on the subject. However, I have been working in the VG field for the past 25 years and in MOBA games for the past 6 years (not for Gearbox), and I personally find it valuable to be able to see which games are in this genre as well as what's coming out. If you have some other criteria that you would like to cite for why you feel Battleborn should not be on the list of MOBA games, I would welcome a discussion. Otherwise, I'd ask that you please re-include this game on the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vaylen ( talk • contribs) 19:23, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I have undone your revert on the Source engine article. The sourcing while correct, strictly only apply to Respawn's highly modified licensed fork of Source. Respawn's "Source" include an entirely new D3D11 renderer. A licensee of Source today would not gain access to these additions, and thus including them under this article is highly misleading. Please do not revert again without examining the issue in greater detail. Thanks. 80.43.50.91 ( talk) 08:06, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Further down the page it then explicitly states that there will be a Day Zero edition released in North America on 3rd November. Again this is wrong as I know first hand it is available in Europe and most likely other parts of the world.

I think you are mixing two different issues together. The merge of generated-related templates and the transfer of content from Template:Video game consoles to Template:Home video game consoles are different issues. That list only lists home video game consoles, so it should be in Template:Home video game consoles instead of Template:Video game consoles. Whether we should merge generated-related templates to one single template is another issue, which you should not mix them with. I can put the merge issue aside for now, but handheld game consoles etc are obviously also game consoles. You should not use the term video game consoles just for home consoles. Thanks for understanding. -- Cartakes ( talk) 16:09, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi. The article Home video game console is a duplicate of video game console lacking some improvements the latter received. I was thinking of redirecting Home video game console to video game console but wanted to make sure there wasn't any useful information that was added in the first one to extract first.
This is the reason I copy/pasted the second article into the first one to compare them as they seemed almost identical. I didn't find how to compare 2 different articles beetween themselves otherwise. Is there a way to do it ??? Thanks. (edit: you spoke of a "Show Changes" button ? Where would that button be, as I searched how to do the comparaison any other way before doing what I did ?)
And what do you think to not let 2 almost identical articles in 2 different places ? This really make sense to me as any modification will likely only be made to one and not to the other. But at the same time, to have a separate Home video game console was making some sense as there are separate articles for handheld game consoles and other type of console, but not if it's to have ... the same article.
Pretty complicated as there are many close articles on consoles: Beetween the "history" articles, the "list" articles, the "home" or "handheld" console articles and the console article itself... Mevo Wiki ( talk) 19:36, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
