How do I create a new Wikiproject for Strategy Computer games? | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 21:43, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Arguments for / against its reliability? My use of it in Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon is part of an oppose vote. I like to bring things to the consensus of the WikiProject to encourage discussion and elaboration, so if anyone feels strongly on whether Chudah's corner is okay to use or not okay (in the same vein as VGCharts), please speak. If we decide it isn't, then as a matter of principle I will remove every instance of it being cited in CVG articles.
Also, can someone please help copyedit that article. I had four people from my site help, but they aren't hardened Wikipedians with predisposition to encyclopedic writing. Other than that, the entire thing's is 95% my effort, and for a month now I've had no success in finding someone here to help copyedit it. There's one last objection in the FAC, so please help WP:CVG get one more featured article. -- Zeality 22:51, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
I've moved my draft CVG navbox guidelines here, incorporating the results of the previous discussion and the creation of Dispenser's {{ CVG Navigation}}. Further input would be appreciated. - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 00:00, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

FYI: A well sourced article on this unusual game is available under de:Painstation in German. It features several sources in English (including external 3D animations, Videos, mp3s and blogs).Since I myself don't have the time (RL takes its toll ;-) to transfer it, maybe some of you guys are interested. I really believe its worth the effort. -- Nemissimo II 10:07, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi there, I had an issue with an article I have just written about a relatively new MMORPG game ( Regnum Online). In fact the game has been in development for more than 4 year, and has been available to the public for more than a year now. But a couple of hours after I wrote the article, User:Pan Dan requested it's speedy deletion, asserting it is about "web content", which is not true. He also says the article is not "notable" and is inappropriate. If you could help us settle this matter I will be most grateful.
I am now adding more sources that talk about the game.
Thanks in advance Jcpetruzza 15:35, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Should this article not be written more in a fictional biography style? It seems to contain information the games themselves such as them being remade or "The NES port of Metal Gear was an unexpected million-seller when it was released in North America.[1] The sequel, Snake's Revenge, was developed without the involvement of the first game's director, Hideo Kojima. It only saw release in North America and Europe". Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like if it is the Solid Snake article it should act more as a history of the character like the comic character articles currently do. Darkwarriorblake 20:33, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
I put a cleanup tag on it before, but no changes seem to have been made. A better table needs to be put into the article for the characters. As of now... it's just huge lists for characters and series' that are represented in the game. In my opinion, the whole "original appearance" section of the current table doesn't need to be listed. It's a video game article, not an anime guide. RobJ1981 22:48, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
I attempted to clean up the article. I hope I made it better instead of worse. I would check to see if I made errors because I was just trying to categorize based on what I felt the statement meant. guitarhero777777 05:20, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
I have set up new part of Wikipedia Project which is right here --> Wikipedia:WikiProject_Computer_and_video_games/Konami. I would like to use this to unite not only Konami-based games like Metal Gears and Castlevania, I think it's also interesting to put these games deserve its own sections because they are big part of the Video game industry. Any comment and opinions? Dooly00000 ( talk · contribs · count) (Whatever time it is; UTC)
I'm wondering if we could get some editors over to the Medieval II: Total War article and provide assistance with a minor dispute.
Short story: one editor put in a paragraph in the Criticisms section about a review of the game from a noted Swedish historian; another editor (myself) condensed it into a single sentence (with links). Editor 1 insists that the historian deserves a full paragraph; Editor 2 thinks the shorter version is better. More can be read in the talk page for Medieval II.
Thanks in advance -- DarthBinky 15:31, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
The early history of Game Producer is wrong.
The first company to use "game producers" was Activision. This took place in 1981 when Activision realized they were in the entertainment business and that the term "project manager" just didn't fit the reality of the job. Brad Fregger was chosen to be the first "game producer," making him the first game producer in the world. The entire story is told in his book, Lucky That Way. Electronic Arts made the same decision after finding out that Activision had created the title of "Producer" for computer and video games. Remember, at that time, Electronic Arts ( San Mateo) and Activision ( Mountain View) were both San Franciso Bay Area companies, very competitive and closely related. The source for this information is Kenneth L. Coleman--bio: here -- Bradfregger 17:29, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Seriously. The editors here actually know how to tell cruft from useful information. Look at Template:Cosmic_Era_mobile_weapons. 80 pages on a bunch of useless robots. I put it on Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/CAT1-X_Hyperion_Gundam_series and CLEARLY pointed out the policy violations. It wasn't going bad, until the anime project kiddies came over and took a steaming s*** on it, voting "Keep all" for no good reason. This is why I hate Wikipedia. People voting to keep absolute crap for no relevant reason - and you know what? It'll be consensus to "keep all" or "no consensus" because those children just have to vote to keep them. Yeah, let's forget about the clear policy violations and listen to the 12 year olds just because there's a lot of them. Man, am I glad I hate anime, otherwise there'd be no way I'd ever edit Wikipedia. -- TheEmulatorGuy 00:01, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Massive AFDs never work. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Warcraft character articles, which dissolved into a fistfight of personal attacks. This massive AFD will also be ruled no consensus simply because there are too many opinions on all the different articles; some will say delete on this article, keep others, it's all very confusing. I tried prodding a bunch of Power Rangers episodes articles, but this failed, so I simply redireced them all into a "list of Power Rangers: xxx episodes" article. If the AFD results in a no consensus, I'd suggest merging them all. Hbdragon88 22:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I propose a standard for article titles of computer and video games in a series e.g. Final Fantasy, Mario Kart, The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, Metal Gear, etc. Article names like these should all be handled consistantly, for example, they should all either link to the disambiguation page (e.g. Metal Gear), the series page (e.g. Mario Kart), or the page of the game of that name (e.g. The Legend of Zelda). Does anyone have any opinions on this? Jecowa 03:38, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Proposal — For computer and video games that are a series use the ambiguous form of the title, "Title," of a video game series for the disambiguation page while using "Title (series)" for the article over the series and "Title (video game)" for the article over the video game with the same name as the series, such as is currently done with Metal Gear, Metal Gear (series), and Metal Gear (video game). This poll is intended to create a consistant naming convention for computer and video game sharing a title due to existing in a series.
The template should have an image caption field. Especially if a cover has been tagged as replaceable or for deletion. -- ReyBrujo 12:47, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
:It does, you'll find |caption= just below |image=. Oh, I sort of overlooked the header and thought this was about {{
Infobox VG}}, nevermind.

I'm planning a series of pages on video gaming attitudes and production in individual countries, and would like to send out a request for assistance in this. I've already started on the Video gaming in Germany article - use this to express opinions or as a template for future articles on other countries. Particularly interesting I think would be articles on the US, Japan, UK, South Korea, China, France and Arabic countries. Jamyskis Whisper, Contribs 14:52, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
I might be able to help with the U.S. (where I'm from) and maybe the U.K. (I read a British gaming magazine) or Japan. However, those are so broad (especially the U.S and Japan) that I would be a ble to contribute a very small amount. guitarhero777777 18:19, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
I'd noticed that there are no articles at all in said category. Looking around, I discovered that games like Postal 3 and The World Online are not there because someone (whom I'll not name since I'm not sure if it's proper) got the idea that since the games already have the Upcoming Games template that they and a few other games should not be in the category. And whenever I tried to add the category, this person took it away again. Any ideas on what to do about this? N. Harmonik 16:31, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon's FAC has been restarted as too confusing, so if you participated in the previous one, or even if you didn't, come on by! -- PresN 16:21, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
I realize this template is part of the ongoing attempt to reduce talk headers' sizes, but it doesn't have bot functionality. Could, by chance, someone who knows what's going on do something about it? It's presently on the PS3 talk page. Nifboy 21:42, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Calm down. Yes, it was simply an effort to reduce the header size, it was getting quite out of proportion. I don't think it's so important to say that one article is more important than another. I think the peer reviewing was much more important. Discussing the faults of the article, instead of providing a "rating" (which, in my opinion, due to its numerical aspects, gives a false impression of accuracy and non-subjectiveness) is much more relevant. -- gatoatigrado 05:20, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
The cvgproj header can already be made small, infobox-size. Just add a small=yes
paramater to it.

Hi, could a couple of people please take a look at List of Call of Duty mods and List of Battlefield 1942 mods? I've marked the pair of them as Unencyclopedic per WP:NOT, and want to put them up for AfD, but the Battlefield list has had a No Consensus twice, whilst still remaining an awful to look at article full of indiscriminate information, and I'm not 100% about the Call of Duty list, which is why I would welcome a second opinion.

Linking to an online script of a game may improve game citation verifiability for the VGCite tag, but would this be precluded by scripts possibly being copyright violations? -- Zeality 00:44, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
All the games for the RPG maker series are either too short, just clutter or sloppy, and unsourced as well. All the Tony Hawk games are in need of cleanup as well: they are basically just bulleted lists and clutter. The full lists are here in these templates:

I can't seem to find the discussion where it says every game should be linked to MobyGames? Can someone help me out? Bgold4 02:33, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
No single website should have a link placed on every game article. Links (and for that matter, any content) should only be added when it is actually useful. Links should not be added just for completion's sake. Content on ALL gaming websites should be taken with a grain of salt, especially sites like MobyGames/IGN/GameSpot/GameFAQs which often care less about accuracy and more about just building huge databases of (sometimes inaccurate) information. --- RockMFR 23:22, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Besides List of King of Fighters: Maximum Impact characters (10 subsections, 59 items), I just found out that Sonic Riders has 6 subsections with 41 trivia items, plus 8 hidden in the Notes section. I believe the trivia in the WikiProject should be reworded to Trivia: Notable bugs, cameos, rumors, fan activity, and alike can be included as long as a reliable citation is given. Trivia items without citation are to be removed without discussion. This way we would be able to clean dozens of game articles with trivia that originates from message boards and forums. -- ReyBrujo 14:28, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey, can anybody help me out with cleaning up the King of Fighters article? I recently removed a bunch of fan site links from the article's external links section, but a user revert my edit, calling it vandalism and claiming that the links had "important information" and were "more than just fansites". Considering most of the sites are basically fansites with primary research about the games, I'm pretty sure that they don't belong in the article. I'm however too busy to continue in this conflict, so could somebody help out on this article.
On a related note, there really needs to be a group of users who are interested in improving the quality of the King of Fighters articles to Wiki standards, and not just adding fan observations, trivia and original research to them. Almost all of the KoF articles are in horrible shape, and KoF has a rabid enough fanbase that they'd revert any changes that take away the cruft they'd find important. NeoChaosX ( he shoots, he scores!) 01:40, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
While Template:Move to gaming wiki lists Encyclopedia Gamia, StrategyWiki, and GameInfo as places for more in-depth information, GameInfo has a policy against taking content from Wikipedia; for this reason, it seems inappropriate to keep their site in the existing template. Perhaps it can be modified to read something like :

Obvious question maybe, but I've just tidied up this article. It was previously rated stub class, so how do I get it re-assessed? Thanks for the help! Tbone762 23:46, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
How would people feel about a merchandise section in articles? The information can normally be referenced, it is a real-world impact, and it aides in comprehensiveness. I was thinking about creating a section like this in Final Fantasy VIII. It would contain information on things like demo discs (and other pre-release materials), limited edition box sets, art books, jewelery and (probably most importantly) action figures. Some editors seem to have the mindset of "YOU WILL DO THIS AND THIS ONLY" when it comes to video game articles, so I thought to ask. -- TheEmulatorGuy 05:37, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
I just updated Lemonade Tycoon's page. While I don't believe, with the additions I made, that it is a stub anymore. I removed the stub note at the bottom, but there is one on the discussion page refering to this WikiProject. Can someone who knows what they're doing change this for me? Holosoth 03:55, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
I'd like the guidelines for the nav boxes to be somewhat tweaked. Their purpose is there for one reason and one reason ONLY and that it to ease navigation. So if I'm on the Final Fantasy VII page and then easily wanna slip over to XIII I should, without a doubt, be able to. As things are now, this is not the case. And this is just bonkers.
Whether or not a game is released in English or not is completely irrelevant. The same goes for if the game is unreleased, that too is irrelevant. The only thing that matter is whether or not the game, or just article in general is noteworthy, which generally can be determined through the fact whether or not the subject has or hasn't a wikipedia entry.

I've proposed a change so that titles are italicized by default but non-italicized text can also be added. Since there are more links without italicized text than with it, editors shouldn't be forced to have to manually italicize every title. Any thoughts? OriginalJunglist 05:54, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Ok, so the current events page isn't such a success. However, the "In the news" template is linked to from the CVG Portal. It would be great if more active users kept an eye on that page and would be willing to add major events to the list. The CVG portal is linked to from thousands of talk pages and as such has a high visibility. I guess this is my last attempt to make this work... I'm tempted to delete the whole thing so I don't have to worry about it being unmaintained. jaco♫ plane 18:08, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I have a problem over at RPG Maker (series), and I'm hoping you CVG folks could help me with some issues regarding it. The article currently has a section taking about the illegal translations of the PC RPG Makers, but it was recently removed by anon for the reason that we shouldn't be promoting the illegal downloading of coprighted works. However, one user, Dynamo ace ( talk · contribs) put back the paragraph, claiming it was "POV" and "biased" to remove the paragraph. I agree with the anon, since Wikipedia should not be linking to illegal content, but Dynamo is pretty set in his view that removing the section is somehow "POV". So I ask you, CVG users - what should be done about this section? NeoChaosX ( talk, walk) 20:35, 22 December 2006 (UTC)\

I requested (and got) a full page protection to stop the edit warring. I also filed 3RR reports against both warring parties. Also, I agree with Rock - the history pages are also named like so (first and second gen) instead of 8-bit, 16-bit, so forth. Hbdragon88 04:35, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
So, what's the upshot on Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer and video games/Navboxes? I've revised the advice on unreleased games to give better guidance (generally no if it doesn't have a definite release date, definitely no if it doesn't have a release title or has never been shown in playable form), and done some other tweaks.
Does it have consensus? The only protests lately have been over when to include or exclude upcoming games, or the color (which can be tweaked by changing Template:CVG navigation anyway). - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 08:49, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Centrx recently removed a lot of the functionality from the talk page template, like the ability to show a GCOTW nomination, whether an article is selected, etc. I doubt that there is consensus for this change, so I've reinstated the old version. jaco♫ plane 16:56, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
Well, I guess i'm personally in this as well, as my original proposal for inttergrating the WikiProject banners led to the merger of these templates. These need to be kept. It's how we were able to get rid of {{ Selected CVG}} and other templates, which were cluttering the top of the talk page. Anyway, {{ WPBiography}} uses these quite a bit, especially considering the number of work groups that fall under that WikiProject. If these paramaters are a problem, they should all be removed, which would require a discussion that's far beyond the scope of this CVG project. Hbdragon88 22:51, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

In what circumstances are readers going to need to read the article for a character who has less than a dozen lines anywhere but not be able to find the links in the body of the article or on the list of characters or in the article's category?

Now that Metal Gear Solid is a Good Article, I'm trying to get it to Featured Article. Sadly, references have been pretty much dried up. The Audio and Development section needs some work, but I don't have any references to expand it on. If you'll click my profile, you'll see the references that I used in the article (some of them I didn't use). If you can pick out some additional information from them, that'd be just as helpful as finding new references.

I would like to propose moving back to using flag icons instead of superscripted abbreviations for release dates in the infobox. The flags are more clean and simple than the superscript. It seems that there are only three slight reasons to use the superscript:
To me, the biggest hassle about the superscript is that it's impossible for me to memorize and type it. I have to copy and paste it every time, as the amount of text to enter is over twice as long. Just look at it:
Another reason to go back to flags is that we seem to be the only Wikiproject supporting this format. Both WikiProject Films and WikiProject Anime and Manga use flags for release dates in their infoboxes.
So anyways, this is a proposal to change the project's official policy to reflect using flags in infoboxes. Do I have support? -- SeizureDog 11:39, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors.

How do I create a new Wikiproject for Strategy Computer games? | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 21:43, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Arguments for / against its reliability? My use of it in Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon is part of an oppose vote. I like to bring things to the consensus of the WikiProject to encourage discussion and elaboration, so if anyone feels strongly on whether Chudah's corner is okay to use or not okay (in the same vein as VGCharts), please speak. If we decide it isn't, then as a matter of principle I will remove every instance of it being cited in CVG articles.
Also, can someone please help copyedit that article. I had four people from my site help, but they aren't hardened Wikipedians with predisposition to encyclopedic writing. Other than that, the entire thing's is 95% my effort, and for a month now I've had no success in finding someone here to help copyedit it. There's one last objection in the FAC, so please help WP:CVG get one more featured article. -- Zeality 22:51, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

FYI: A well sourced article on this unusual game is available under de:Painstation in German. It features several sources in English (including external 3D animations, Videos, mp3s and blogs).Since I myself don't have the time (RL takes its toll ;-) to transfer it, maybe some of you guys are interested. I really believe its worth the effort. -- Nemissimo II 10:07, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi there, I had an issue with an article I have just written about a relatively new MMORPG game ( Regnum Online). In fact the game has been in development for more than 4 year, and has been available to the public for more than a year now. But a couple of hours after I wrote the article, User:Pan Dan requested it's speedy deletion, asserting it is about "web content", which is not true. He also says the article is not "notable" and is inappropriate. If you could help us settle this matter I will be most grateful.
I am now adding more sources that talk about the game.
Thanks in advance Jcpetruzza 15:35, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Should this article not be written more in a fictional biography style? It seems to contain information the games themselves such as them being remade or "The NES port of Metal Gear was an unexpected million-seller when it was released in North America.[1] The sequel, Snake's Revenge, was developed without the involvement of the first game's director, Hideo Kojima. It only saw release in North America and Europe". Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like if it is the Solid Snake article it should act more as a history of the character like the comic character articles currently do. Darkwarriorblake 20:33, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
I put a cleanup tag on it before, but no changes seem to have been made. A better table needs to be put into the article for the characters. As of now... it's just huge lists for characters and series' that are represented in the game. In my opinion, the whole "original appearance" section of the current table doesn't need to be listed. It's a video game article, not an anime guide. RobJ1981 22:48, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
I attempted to clean up the article. I hope I made it better instead of worse. I would check to see if I made errors because I was just trying to categorize based on what I felt the statement meant. guitarhero777777 05:20, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
I have set up new part of Wikipedia Project which is right here --> Wikipedia:WikiProject_Computer_and_video_games/Konami.

I'm wondering if we could get some editors over to the Medieval II: Total War article and provide assistance with a minor dispute.
Short story: one editor put in a paragraph in the Criticisms section about a review of the game from a noted Swedish historian; another editor (myself) condensed it into a single sentence (with links). Editor 1 insists that the historian deserves a full paragraph; Editor 2 thinks the shorter version is better. More can be read in the talk page for Medieval II.
Thanks in advance -- DarthBinky 15:31, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
The early history of Game Producer is wrong.
The first company to use "game producers" was Activision. This took place in 1981 when Activision realized they were in the entertainment business and that the term "project manager" just didn't fit the reality of the job. Brad Fregger was chosen to be the first "game producer," making him the first game producer in the world. The entire story is told in his book, Lucky That Way. Electronic Arts made the same decision after finding out that Activision had created the title of "Producer" for computer and video games. Remember, at that time, Electronic Arts ( San Mateo) and Activision ( Mountain View) were both San Franciso Bay Area companies, very competitive and closely related. The source for this information is Kenneth L. Coleman--bio: here -- Bradfregger 17:29, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Seriously. The editors here actually know how to tell cruft from useful information. Look at Template:Cosmic_Era_mobile_weapons. 80 pages on a bunch of useless robots. I put it on Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/CAT1-X_Hyperion_Gundam_series and CLEARLY pointed out the policy violations. It wasn't going bad, until the anime project kiddies came over and took a steaming s*** on it, voting "Keep all" for no good reason. This is why I hate Wikipedia. People voting to keep absolute crap for no relevant reason - and you know what? It'll be consensus to "keep all" or "no consensus" because those children just have to vote to keep them. Yeah, let's forget about the clear policy violations and listen to the 12 year olds just because there's a lot of them. Man, am I glad I hate anime, otherwise there'd be no way I'd ever edit Wikipedia. -- TheEmulatorGuy 00:01, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Massive AFDs never work. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Warcraft character articles, which dissolved into a fistfight of personal attacks. This massive AFD will also be ruled no consensus simply because there are too many opinions on all the different articles; some will say delete on this article, keep others, it's all very confusing. I tried prodding a bunch of Power Rangers episodes articles, but this failed, so I simply redireced them all into a "list of Power Rangers: xxx episodes" article. If the AFD results in a no consensus, I'd suggest merging them all. Hbdragon88 22:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I propose a standard for article titles of computer and video games in a series e.g. Final Fantasy, Mario Kart, The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, Metal Gear, etc. Article names like these should all be handled consistantly, for example, they should all either link to the disambiguation page (e.g. Metal Gear), the series page (e.g. Mario Kart), or the page of the game of that name (e.g. The Legend of Zelda). Does anyone have any opinions on this? Jecowa 03:38, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Proposal — For computer and video games that are a series use the ambiguous form of the title, "Title," of a video game series for the disambiguation page while using "Title (series)" for the article over the series and "Title (video game)" for the article over the video game with the same name as the series, such as is currently done with Metal Gear, Metal Gear (series), and Metal Gear (video game). This poll is intended to create a consistant naming convention for computer and video game sharing a title due to existing in a series.
The template should have an image caption field. Especially if a cover has been tagged as replaceable or for deletion. -- ReyBrujo 12:47, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
:It does, you'll find |caption= just below |image=. Oh, I sort of overlooked the header and thought this was about {{

I'm planning a series of pages on video gaming attitudes and production in individual countries, and would like to send out a request for assistance in this. I've already started on the Video gaming in Germany article - use this to express opinions or as a template for future articles on other countries. Particularly interesting I think would be articles on the US, Japan, UK, South Korea, China, France and Arabic countries. Jamyskis Whisper, Contribs 14:52, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
I might be able to help with the U.S. (where I'm from) and maybe the U.K. (I read a British gaming magazine) or Japan. However, those are so broad (especially the U.S and Japan) that I would be a ble to contribute a very small amount. guitarhero777777 18:19, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
I'd noticed that there are no articles at all in said category. Looking around, I discovered that games like Postal 3 and The World Online are not there because someone (whom I'll not name since I'm not sure if it's proper) got the idea that since the games already have the Upcoming Games template that they and a few other games should not be in the category. And whenever I tried to add the category, this person took it away again. Any ideas on what to do about this? N. Harmonik 16:31, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I realize this template is part of the ongoing attempt to reduce talk headers' sizes, but it doesn't have bot functionality. Could, by chance, someone who knows what's going on do something about it? It's presently on the PS3 talk page. Nifboy 21:42, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Calm down. Yes, it was simply an effort to reduce the header size, it was getting quite out of proportion. I don't think it's so important to say that one article is more important than another. I think the peer reviewing was much more important. Discussing the faults of the article, instead of providing a "rating" (which, in my opinion, due to its numerical aspects, gives a false impression of accuracy and non-subjectiveness) is much more relevant. -- gatoatigrado 05:20, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
The cvgproj header can already be made small, infobox-size. Just add a small=yes

I can't seem to find the discussion where it says every game should be linked to MobyGames? Can someone help me out? Bgold4 02:33, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
No single website should have a link placed on every game article. Links (and for that matter, any content) should only be added when it is actually useful. Links should not be added just for completion's sake. Content on ALL gaming websites should be taken with a grain of salt, especially sites like MobyGames/IGN/GameSpot/GameFAQs which often care less about accuracy and more about just building huge databases of (sometimes inaccurate) information. --- RockMFR 23:22, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Besides List of King of Fighters: Maximum Impact characters (10 subsections, 59 items), I just found out that Sonic Riders has 6 subsections with 41 trivia items, plus 8 hidden in the Notes section. I believe the trivia in the WikiProject should be reworded to Trivia: Notable bugs, cameos, rumors, fan activity, and alike can be included as long as a reliable citation is given. Trivia items without citation are to be removed without discussion. This way we would be able to clean dozens of game articles with trivia that originates from message boards and forums. -- ReyBrujo 14:28, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey, can anybody help me out with cleaning up the King of Fighters article? I recently removed a bunch of fan site links from the article's external links section, but a user revert my edit, calling it vandalism and claiming that the links had "important information" and were "more than just fansites". Considering most of the sites are basically fansites with primary research about the games, I'm pretty sure that they don't belong in the article. I'm however too busy to continue in this conflict, so could somebody help out on this article.
On a related note, there really needs to be a group of users who are interested in improving the quality of the King of Fighters articles to Wiki standards, and not just adding fan observations, trivia and original research to them. Almost all of the KoF articles are in horrible shape, and KoF has a rabid enough fanbase that they'd revert any changes that take away the cruft they'd find important. NeoChaosX ( he shoots, he scores!) 01:40, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
While Template:Move to gaming wiki lists Encyclopedia Gamia, StrategyWiki, and GameInfo as places for more in-depth information, GameInfo has a policy against taking content from Wikipedia; for this reason, it seems inappropriate to keep their site in the existing template. Perhaps it can be modified to read something like :

Obvious question maybe, but I've just tidied up this article. It was previously rated stub class, so how do I get it re-assessed? Thanks for the help! Tbone762 23:46, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
How would people feel about a merchandise section in articles? The information can normally be referenced, it is a real-world impact, and it aides in comprehensiveness. I was thinking about creating a section like this in Final Fantasy VIII. It would contain information on things like demo discs (and other pre-release materials), limited edition box sets, art books, jewelery and (probably most importantly) action figures. Some editors seem to have the mindset of "YOU WILL DO THIS AND THIS ONLY" when it comes to video game articles, so I thought to ask. -- TheEmulatorGuy 05:37, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
I just updated Lemonade Tycoon's page. While I don't believe, with the additions I made, that it is a stub anymore. I removed the stub note at the bottom, but there is one on the discussion page refering to this WikiProject. Can someone who knows what they're doing change this for me? Holosoth 03:55, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
I'd like the guidelines for the nav boxes to be somewhat tweaked. Their purpose is there for one reason and one reason ONLY and that it to ease navigation. So if I'm on the Final Fantasy VII page and then easily wanna slip over to XIII I should, without a doubt, be able to. As things are now, this is not the case. And this is just bonkers.
Whether or not a game is released in English or not is completely irrelevant. The same goes for if the game is unreleased, that too is irrelevant. The only thing that matter is whether or not the game, or just article in general is noteworthy, which generally can be determined through the fact whether or not the subject has or hasn't a wikipedia entry.

I've proposed a change so that titles are italicized by default but non-italicized text can also be added.

Ok, so the current events page isn't such a success. However, the "In the news" template is linked to from the CVG Portal. It would be great if more active users kept an eye on that page and would be willing to add major events to the list.

The article currently has a section taking about the illegal translations of the PC RPG Makers, but it was recently removed by anon for the reason that we shouldn't be promoting the illegal downloading of coprighted works. However, one user, Dynamo ace ( talk · contribs) put back the paragraph, claiming it was "POV" and "biased" to remove the paragraph. I agree with the anon, since Wikipedia should not be linking to illegal content, but Dynamo is pretty set in his view that removing the section is somehow "POV".

So, what's the upshot on Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer and video games/Navboxes? I've revised the advice on unreleased games to give better guidance (generally no if it doesn't have a definite release date, definitely no if it doesn't have a release title or has never been shown in playable form), and done some other tweaks.
Does it have consensus? The only protests lately have been over when to include or exclude upcoming games, or the color (which can be tweaked by changing Template:CVG navigation anyway). - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 08:49, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, I guess i'm personally in this as well, as my original proposal for inttergrating the WikiProject banners led to the merger of these templates. These need to be kept. It's how we were able to get rid of {{ Selected CVG}} and other templates, which were cluttering the top of the talk page. Anyway, {{ WPBiography}} uses these quite a bit, especially considering the number of work groups that fall under that WikiProject. If these paramaters are a problem, they should all be removed, which would require a discussion that's far beyond the scope of this CVG project. Hbdragon88 22:51, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

I would like to propose moving back to using flag icons instead of superscripted abbreviations for release dates in the infobox. The flags are more clean and simple than the superscript. It seems that there are only three slight reasons to use the superscript:
To me, the biggest hassle about the superscript is that it's impossible for me to memorize and type it. I have to copy and paste it every time, as the amount of text to enter is over twice as long. Just look at it:
Another reason to go back to flags is that we seem to be the only Wikiproject supporting this format. Both WikiProject Films and WikiProject Anime and Manga use flags for release dates in their infoboxes.
So anyways, this is a proposal to change the project's official policy to reflect using flags in infoboxes. Do I have support? -- SeizureDog 11:39, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors.

A little while ago I removed the external links as they all seemed be self-promotions that failed WP:EL, but today I had an angry message from a new user who represents one of those linked sites. Can I ask someone to review those external links and double-check to see if they pass WP:EL? Thanks. Marasmusine 18:52, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm still having problems here from several people who don't seem to want to read WP:EL. Marasmusine 13:22, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

It isn't automatically classed - only uses classify the articles. If it's no longer a stub, feel free to change it. Hbdragon88 23:29, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
