Re: Comments
Wikipedia use to keep game related information such as in universe information such as characters, cheats, and storylines. Now they are reduced to very general and less detailed information. For example in RTS games wikipedia use to keep references to all the units the player can build, but they decided to delete it. This information can help people who play the game develop strategies and is significant to the game's storyline. Secondly they condensed down the pokemon pages which use to provid detail on statistics for the TCG and RPG. Things such as detailed character descriptions within a game universe were deleted yet for TV episodes they were kept. Also weapons and vehicles in a fps game such as Halo was deleted even though it is an essential part of the gameplay. This caused individuals to develop their own wikis. The wikis started with Gamerwiki, The Codex Gamicus, and Strategy wiki which takes game only info. Strategy wiki is working on walkthroughs and cheats, Gamerwiki is working on cataloging every game for each console (ie. Unreal Tournament 3 (PC) and Unreal Tournament 3 (PS3) would be 2 different pages ) and we are getting in game info, walkthroughs and game related items. For example you will not see articles like Electronic Gaming Monthly 2005 - 2006 or Duke Nukem 3D monsters in wikipedia. Hope this helps --Cs california 05:24, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Please do not do a MASSIVE reorganization without asking. Because there were lots of problems
 * 1) Sub pages do not need to be recategorized they are already linked by the infobox
 * 2) Most categories were redundant
 * 3) Making video games by years is a good idea but no one wants to write something like on every page! we do not have a bot to perform these tasks
 * 4) Do not merge tons sub pages of a walkthrough into a single page. It really really really Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaags and freezes the internet browser.
 * 5) Don't erase categories that already exist and make sure you get your shit straight before you recategorize things for example
 * 6) Microphones are NOT controllers
 * 7) Emulators are applications not consoles. They are not physical items but software.
 * 8) Applications are NOT all Computer applications. For example is safe disc on consoles and RPG maker is on the PS2.
 * 9) Please do not stub categories No one would write an article on a category.
 * 10) Video game history is significant. Pages such as the generations of consoles,video game crash, and the golden age of arcade games has yet to be added.
 * 11) Games can not be categorized by peripherals.
