Template talk:Games

Again, are these templates really necessary? I know you seem to love making them, but can there be some justification? You're sticking them all over the place, and they're pretty drastic changes. There is no dire need for them, nor any at all, so why are you making so many of them? --Jase 21:04, 14 February 2007 (CST)

An addition
What do people think about adding the fan made games to this template? 10:03, 9 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I'd say no. But there could be one just for the fan games. 10:06, November 9, 2008 (UTC)


 * An idea. How about we split the current template into two? Nintendo made and other made. So the Nintendo made would include the actual series and spin offs, and placed on all those proper pages. The other one would include all the fan games mentioned, and then the Phillips Cd-i games. 07:53, 10 November 2008 (UTC)


 * An interesting idea, yes, but one I'm hesitant to implement. A lot of the non-canon games aren't particularly well-known by a lot of people (especially games like Tingle's Balloon Fight DS), and so splitting up the template would make it less likely that someone could find that article and learn from the information.
 * A separate fan game template might work, but... I might be a little biased there; I'm kind of against the fan game pages as it is as they seem to serve as little more than promotion for a person's own game. I don't think that a fan game article has ever been made by a third-party NOT involved in the game's creation. (I haven't done any direct research, mind you - I'm only speaking based off of the page histories I've looked at) I find it hard to justify NOT creating the template, though, when I'm supporting keeping the main games template as it is, so I certainly wouldn't out-right halt the creation of such a thing. 18:51, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
