Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals) section 27 "Wikipedia TCG". This is a proposal for fundraising which has been posted there and has recieved some interest from some users. This game is in developement and this is the project page dedicated to making it. ♠ TomasBat 02:33, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
I would keep everything in sections of the main page for now, and split them off into sub-pages as needed when they expand enough. It's easier to get people involved when they immediately see a main page of project details. Also helps keep discussions centralized. Equazcion •✗/ C • 02:56, 28 Feb 2009 (UTC)
I created one of the subpages before I saw this; I just removed it. As a side note, Pichoro at Magic Set Editor's forums, who happens to be one of the main template makers there, has indicated that he'd be willing to help template it for the program so long as we don't bombard him. This would make creating the cards much easier. - Jeremy ( v^_^v Dittobori) 03:04, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
I just want to say that I hope you guys get somewhere with this; I'm looking forward to templating me. And a note, even though I'm on here, the best way to contact me is still by posting in the thread for this at the MSE forums. Pichoro 22:54, 5 March 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pichoro ( talk • contribs) I prefer this design. YOWUZA Talk 2 me! 13:34, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
I mentioned over there that we were still discussing rules systems, and he told me that it's best if the card frame represents the rules accurately (my guess is that it will then be easier to create the cards). He told me that it's best if we backburner the cardframe debate until rules are decided on. - Jeremy ( v^_^v Cardmaker) 05:10, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
In an effort to keep this page manageable and readable, I've moved each of the long rules proposals off to the subpages linked below. Feedback and discussions can (and probably should) continue here. Equazcion •✗/ C • 23:01, 1 Mar 2009 (UTC)
just a quick, undeveloped thought: editor cards (and/or article cards in the second version) could come color-coded, where each player has a color that he's trying to develop (the amount of articles of your color that get developed adds into your article score). some cards will have single colors (single purpose editors or specialty articles), some will have multiple colors (meaning you have to cooperate with others to get them developed) and some articles might have grey or black color tags, meaning that they need to be removed from play somehow, or they'll count against a player. -- Ludwigs2 01:45, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
I have a question. What is this game's resourse? For Magic, it is mana. Pokemon uses Engery cards. Bleach uses spiritral stuff, and Yugioh uses your actual monsters. Without a real resource, many high-powered cards can be played very early. My suggestion is this: a variation of build points used in one of the Star wars TCG. Every turn, you get one unit or "resourse". That's it. If we want to use chose User cards (in a way similar to Heroes in the Warcraft TCG), different users can generate different amounts of "resource". -Kingofsouls, 2:`8 PM, March 3rd.
Note that these proposed ideas are based off of the variant of the rules I've suggested; I can change them to suit if need be. No cards; I'm not that good with Photoshop and thus would need the MSE template.

I deal with the world of academia on a daily basis and agree with those in the Justification section et al that "Too many people already think of Wikipedia as some sort of MMORPG". But as a lighthearted intrawiki concept similar to "Wikiholics" it's hilarious. You should include debates like this one in the form of Consensus Building that makes the player lose a turn or two (cf. Flagged Revisions debate) while the community bickers amongst itself and can't make up its mind one way or the other. :) Recognizance ( talk) 23:14, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

How about something simple? Something like "The official Wikipedia Trading Card Game". It's simple and straight forward.-Kingofsouls, 2:22 PM march 3rd.
Has the idea of connecting a commercial product to the non-profit wikipedia project been discussed somewhere?
My immediate reaction is that is is a bad idea. I generally dislike the concept of trading cards; the ones I know abaout are tasteless ways of getting money out of the pockets of kids (and indirectly their parents). I'm not saying they should be forbidden (after all, candy isn't!), but why involve Wikipedia in it? Will it attract or (as I believe) repluse editors?-- Noe ( talk) 21:05, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
According to the article on Magic:The Gathering, "A patent was granted to Wizards of the Coast in 1997 for "a novel method of game play and game components that in one embodiment are in the form of trading cards" that includes claims covering games whose rules include many of Magic's elements in combination, including concepts such as changing orientation of a game component to indicate use (referred to in the Magic and Vampire: The Eternal Struggle rules as "tapping").... In 2003, the patent was an element of a larger legal dispute between Wizards of the Coast and Nintendo, regarding trade secrets related to Nintendo's Pokémon Trading Card Game. The legal action was settled out of court, and its terms were not disclosed."
The "click" mechanic seems to be identical to tapping, and Wizards has proven very willing to go to court over this.. I'm not sure how this will effect development issues, but just keep that in mind. Litho derm 21:15, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

We could use a list of sites to gather ideas from. I'll start with Dvorak, which defines a basic framework for CCG-like card decks and provides plenty of examples using it. I'm not clear how GFDL-compliant the site is, but there seems to be plenty there we can use without breaching any copyrights it may claim. Certes ( talk) 19:18, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

I was looking through the card proposals, and I felt like something was missing. I hope that I'm not repeating an idea anyone else came up with. I was thinking about an 'IP' card that was sort of like a wild. A few things could happen. For example the player could have the choice to make the IP vandalize a single article (though not effectively) or edit (again not effectively). There could also be a 'Create Account' card which could turn the IP into an Editor or a Vandal (Depending on the card). Just a suggestion. Marx01 ( talk) 00:14, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
I think your idea is great, but please express your card suggestions a but more...-- Ratón Bat Talk 2 me!! 23:11, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
As their hasn't been much activity recently, which means that the project seems to be going nowhere... We seriously need to reach consensus on what ruleset to base the cardgame, so that we can start working on everything else and hopefully finish this game someday... Any chance of !voting or something...? (If anybody is watchlisting this page or sees this thread, please comment) ♠ TomasBat 23:14, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
I suggest we keep working on this project so it doesn't fall down. I know that it's creator quited wikipedia, but we should still work in this project but I don't know how. I suggest advertising it but I don't know if that's sorta of an illegal thing or something which tries to be avoided. So can someone help me with this? Thanks!-- Ratón Bat Talk 2 me!! 21:47, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
I'm presenting a third design prototype card. It was fairly simple to make using PowerPoint and three images off the Commons. If you'd like to see more like this, I can do that, just let me know. And for the record, I'm okay with the Wikipedia-style card design as well, so long as it has round corners like a normal playing card and is the same size :) Bob the Wikipedian ( talk • contribs) 08:08, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

I am skilled in graphic design, and I will be glad to help with the designing of these cards. Just leave me a message on my talk page if you have any requests, or want to discuss a design proposal. writers-block-14♠( talk) 23:05, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
Result: disaster style. Please proceed to Wikipedia:Trading card game/Action plan/Phase 1:Rules/Rules approval.
Bob the Wikipedian ( talk • contribs) 18:10, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
The ruleset has been completely constructed approved by the committee. If you would like to propose an amendment to the rules, do so on the talk page for the rules.
We are moving forward with phase 2, Wikipedia:Trading card game/Action plan/Phase 2:Cards, where we need your input on the design of the cards. Bob the Wikipedian ( talk • contribs) 23:14, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
There Should be about 9 cards a player, and there could be a Draw pile with a discard pile, with about 50 to 80 cards a deck. Ian ( talk) 00:28, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
"...all proceeds will go to the Wikimedia Foundation" - This is fine, as long as Wikimedia is able to provide funding for the trading card game. We might be better off by saying that a certain percentage (50%, maybe more) goes to Wikimedia, and the rest goes toward production. After all, trading cards aren't free to print, cut, and distribute in foil wrappers. Unless, of course, someone wants to donate their card-cutting, printing, and wrapping services... Bob the Wikipedian ( talk • contribs) 02:23, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
My choice for the card back would actually be a Wikipedia Globe with a White background, and there should be an "IP user" card, an Autoconfirmed, Admin, The whatever the B- part is, Rollbacker, and there should be the barnstars as some cards. Tell me if it's a good thing @ my talk. Ian.bjorn ( talk · contribs) 00:28, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
Well, I think the no barnstar card thing is a bad thing. IMHO. I.P. ( talk) 23:00, 30 October 2010 (UTC) We should do it. It increases the power possibilities. You guys can decide what they do, but I think it's a good idea. I mean, doesn't it make sense to play a game with stuff like that?
... Look at what I made! ~~ Hi878 (Come shout at me!) 03:33, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
I've done a little research, and we'll need to figure out how to contact Miss Kessler in order to gain permission to use the Wikipedia logo in various places (i.e. the reverse face of the card, and most likely on the face of most cards). I'm not sure yet what other legal stuff will be involved. If we can find avoid using the Wikipedia logo as often as possible, that might reduce complications that might arise from using the logo.
I passed an email along to the NYC chapter of Wikimedia, and I've asked they do what they can to route it to her. Bob the Wikipedian ( talk • contribs) 02:24, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
Jimbo seems to like this. :) See here. Hi878 isn't home. (Can I take a message?) 16:24, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi and I found this necessary this afternoon. Feel free to join in, though I can't guarantee anyone will be online. Bob the WikipediaN ( talk • contribs) 01:57, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
Hey! I haven't visited this project for ages, but checked out what you were up to after Bob left a message on my talk page - I designed the original article-style card layout.
I saw the hassle you've gone to with hosting card images on Wikia and suchlike, and have a solution! Wikipedia:Trading card game/Template:Card will enable you to set up a card preview to appear pretty much like your current design. There are a few concessions - the image cropping isn't configurable, no fades or backgrounds, and the text size is slightly off so as to fit on screen, but it's enough to give a rough clue.
This should help you guys keep working on the game wiki-style. Hope you find this useful! Best, — Pretzels Hii! 02:18, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Yes I believe so, too. I think because of inactivity, we should definitely restart the project, and make it faster. Any way to do this? Vinethemonkey ( talk) 17:50, 5 December 2014 (UTC)Vinethemonkey
We can restart this by continuing to make the cards in phase two of the action plan. Billythekid314 ( talk) 05:04, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
I just joined this project. I notice there was an initial attempt to publish the game, which failed. However, we could still translate this project into the real world.
THE SUGGESTION: We could make a PDF file with everything you need to play the game, paper-wise. For example, the first few pages could contain the rules. Then, we could have the cards arrayed on the rest of the pages. It would be in color, but the user could print it out on black and white if they wanted to/had limitations on printing capabilities. The cards could even be printed on card stock, to make them more like real trading cards.
Thanks in advance for observing my suggestion! Urban Versis 32 ( talk) 23:51, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Hey, I was seeing the cards, when suddenly I thought: When people will get cards i'm sure they are gonna make some false ones, so what will we add to the cards so people dont make forgery?-- Ratón Bat Talk 2 me[[User:RatónBat/What can i do?| ! 10:59, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

I was looking through the card proposals, and I felt like something was missing. I hope that I'm not repeating an idea anyone else came up with. I was thinking about an 'IP' card that was sort of like a wild. A few things could happen. For example the player could have the choice to make the IP vandalize a single article (though not effectively) or edit (again not effectively). There could also be a 'Create Account' card which could turn the IP into an Editor or a Vandal (Depending on the card). Just a suggestion. Marx01 ( talk) 00:14, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
I think your idea is great, but please express your card suggestions a but more...-- Ratón Bat Talk 2 me!! 23:11, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
As their hasn't been much activity recently, which means that the project seems to be going nowhere... We seriously need to reach consensus on what ruleset to base the cardgame, so that we can start working on everything else and hopefully finish this game someday... Any chance of !voting or something...? (If anybody is watchlisting this page or sees this thread, please comment) ♠ TomasBat 23:14, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
I suggest we keep working on this project so it doesn't fall down. I know that it's creator quited wikipedia, but we should still work in this project but I don't know how. I suggest advertising it but I don't know if that's sorta of an illegal thing or something which tries to be avoided. So can someone help me with this? Thanks!-- Ratón Bat Talk 2 me!! 21:47, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
I'm presenting a third design prototype card. It was fairly simple to make using PowerPoint and three images off the Commons. If you'd like to see more like this, I can do that, just let me know. And for the record, I'm okay with the Wikipedia-style card design as well, so long as it has round corners like a normal playing card and is the same size :) Bob the Wikipedian ( talk • contribs) 08:08, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

I am skilled in graphic design, and I will be glad to help with the designing of these cards. Just leave me a message on my talk page if you have any requests, or want to discuss a design proposal. writers-block-14♠( talk) 23:05, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
Result: disaster style. Please proceed to Wikipedia:Trading card game/Action plan/Phase 1:Rules/Rules approval.

The ruleset has been completely constructed approved by the committee. If you would like to propose an amendment to the rules, do so on the talk page for the rules.
We are moving forward with phase 2, Wikipedia:Trading card game/Action plan/Phase 2:Cards, where we need your input on the design of the cards. Bob the Wikipedian ( talk • contribs) 23:14, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
There Should be about 9 cards a player, and there could be a Draw pile with a discard pile, with about 50 to 80 cards a deck. Ian ( talk) 00:28, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
"...all proceeds will go to the Wikimedia Foundation" - This is fine, as long as Wikimedia is able to provide funding for the trading card game. We might be better off by saying that a certain percentage (50%, maybe more) goes to Wikimedia, and the rest goes toward production. After all, trading cards aren't free to print, cut, and distribute in foil wrappers. Unless, of course, someone wants to donate their card-cutting, printing, and wrapping services...

My choice for the card back would actually be a Wikipedia Globe with a White background, and there should be an "IP user" card, an Autoconfirmed, Admin, The whatever the B- part is, Rollbacker, and there should be the barnstars as some cards. Tell me if it's a good thing @ my talk. Ian.bjorn ( talk · contribs) 00:28, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
Well, I think the no barnstar card thing is a bad thing. IMHO. I.P. ( talk) 23:00, 30 October 2010 (UTC) We should do it. It increases the power possibilities. You guys can decide what they do, but I think it's a good idea. I mean, doesn't it make sense to play a game with stuff like that?
... Look at what I made! ~~ Hi878 (Come shout at me!) 03:33, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
I've done a little research, and we'll need to figure out how to contact Miss Kessler in order to gain permission to use the Wikipedia logo in various places (i.e. the reverse face of the card, and most likely on the face of most cards). I'm not sure yet what other legal stuff will be involved. If we can find avoid using the Wikipedia logo as often as possible, that might reduce complications that might arise from using the logo.
I passed an email along to the NYC chapter of Wikimedia, and I've asked they do what they can to route it to her. Bob the Wikipedian ( talk • contribs) 02:24, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey! I haven't visited this project for ages, but checked out what you were up to after Bob left a message on my talk page - I designed the original article-style card layout.
I saw the hassle you've gone to with hosting card images on Wikia and suchlike, and have a solution! Wikipedia:Trading card game/Template:Card will enable you to set up a card preview to appear pretty much like your current design. There are a few concessions - the image cropping isn't configurable, no fades or backgrounds, and the text size is slightly off so as to fit on screen, but it's enough to give a rough clue.
This should help you guys keep working on the game wiki-style. Hope you find this useful! Best, — Pretzels Hii! 02:18, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

I think the title is pretty self-explanatory. If it isn't then I think it should restart. User Talk:W.D. 20:07, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
Yes I believe so, too. I think because of inactivity, we should definitely restart the project, and make it faster. Any way to do this? Vinethemonkey ( talk) 17:50, 5 December 2014 (UTC)Vinethemonkey
We can restart this by continuing to make the cards in phase two of the action plan. Billythekid314 ( talk) 05:04, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
I just joined this project. I notice there was an initial attempt to publish the game, which failed. However, we could still translate this project into the real world.
THE SUGGESTION: We could make a PDF file with everything you need to play the game, paper-wise. For example, the first few pages could contain the rules. Then, we could have the cards arrayed on the rest of the pages. It would be in color, but the user could print it out on black and white if they wanted to/had limitations on printing capabilities. The cards could even be printed on card stock, to make them more like real trading cards.
Thanks in advance for observing my suggestion! Urban Versis 32 ( talk) 23:51, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
