Talk: V/'s Recommended Games Wiki

Use this page to discuss design and content changes to the main page.

Wikia would rather we use Community Portal or Forums for talking about the wiki in general... but whatever.

Older Discussion

As this wiki gets on in years, this page gets uncomfortably big with old conversations. They've been moved to sub-pages.

Admins

Magma Dragoon said we could use more admins, since Mozai seems to be the only one around these days.

I've put in a formal request to adpot the site, since Kotep is long gone. -- Mozai (talk) 00:25, June 1, 2017 (UTC)

Changes to frontpage

Acorn Electron - computer - 1983 - 1985

--LYRIC-Stormwatch (talk) 06:27, January 12, 2017 (UTC)

Speaking of which, WiiU should be moved to the discontinued section. Welcome to your doom! 16:45, January 12, 2017 (UTC)

Caught up. -Mozai (talk) 02:26, January 17, 2017 (UTC)

Wii U isn't discontinued yet that I am aware of. It is still marked as "active" on Nintendo's website with a price listed, full FAQ and technical support. It is supposed to be discontinued in March 2018, not this year. --Kitsuneae (talk) 02:08, January 18, 2017 (UTC)

Derp, I should check facts. and while I was checking the WiiU I found out Xbox360 stopped production April 2016. --Mozai (talk) 03:13, January 18, 2017 (UTC)

As of February 2017, the Wii U has been discontinued globally. So yeah, now it should be moved to the discontinued section. -Nesther (talk) 15:16, February 1, 2017 (UTC)

Source links on ending global production? As best as I can see it has only ended in Japan. Yes, that link was the "source" on the Kotaku article that claimed global production was over even though another article they posted said that Nintendo didn't plan on changing production status with the release of the switch. The US news page doesn't say anything about the Wii U being discontinued.

A lot of sites have been on the "Wii U is dead!" train for years now. Until official sources back it up I feel it shouldn't be considered dead. --Kitsuneae (talk) 01:52, February 2, 2017 (UTC)

Kimishima at the investors meeting this week. http://www.news1130.com/2017/02/01/nintendo-promises-more-smartphone-games-at-2-to-3-a-year/

It's dead, Jim. - Nesther (talk) 03:44, February 2, 2017 (UTC)

Very interesting! Also a sudden reversal of what Nintendo had been saying up until apparently this week. Thanks for the more reliable source. --Kitsuneae (talk) 04:02, February 2, 2017 (UTC)

So the Switch is current now. But is it a console or a handheld? --LYRIC-Stormwatch (talk) 15:47, March 6, 2017 (UTC)

Another discontinuation:

Ubuntu Touch - mobile - 2013 - 2017

--LYRIC-Stormwatch (talk) 21:57, April 7, 2017 (UTC)

Another discontinuation, PS3 is a goner. [1] --LYRIC-Stormwatch (talk) 23:33, May 30, 2017 (UTC)

You should remove the WiiU, DS and PSP as well, they've been discontinued for quite some time already. Welcome to your doom! 19:38, May 31, 2017 (UTC)

Alphabetical order and articles

Some people arrange the games ignoring articles. For example, they put "The King of Fighters" on K for King, rather than T for The. Which, of course, is some fucking retarded bullshit. Stop doing that, people! --LYRIC-Stormwatch (talk) 22:00, March 1, 2017 (UTC)

... that's actually a way to properly handle alphabetical order: you ignore all cases of "A" or "The" and skip to the next word. Otherwise every single "The" game would be crammed together! You see libraries arrange books like that for a reason. --Kitsuneae (talk) 01:10, March 2, 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, they get crammed together -- that's what is supposed to happen when their names start with the same word. --LYRIC-Stormwatch (talk) 15:46, March 6, 2017 (UTC)

Gameplay videos?

I noticed a couple instances where game descriptions had links to gameplay (video) examples. Should/could that be something for every game, or will screenshots suffice? Video snapshots [2] are pretty easy to come by for most games.
