[edit] Removing controls

The game controls shouldn't be on the page. Wikipedia is not an Instruction manual. See WP:NOT. --Zeno McDohl 18:25, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

That is ridiculous. Wikipedia is to be informative, and when it comes to video games, you can describe the game play. It has been done on countless other video game pages. Even if that is their policy, you can't ignore the blasphemousness of it all. I am reverting back, regardless of their policy, and I will not agree with them until they can convince me why they have made such a redundent policy.--SwordKirby537 04:46, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

I came here for the RfC. I believe the discussion of controls on this page is borderline: while more detailed than most video game articles, and skirting the edge of becoming a video game guide (which I a gree Wikipedia should avoid) I do think it adds some needed detail to the article and is not necessarily over the line. Now, if it was expanded to add, for example, a list of special moves for each character and how to execute them I would agree that it firmly is something that does WP:NOT belong here, but in Wikibooks instead.

  • I'm going to have to agree with Zeno that the article doesn't need the controls. While Kit is right that it is on the boarder, I think it IS just crossing that 'video game guide' line. I'd argue that the individual controls are a trivial detail, especially since most games these days let you remap them, anyway. Therefore, it's info more suited to an instruction manual than an encyclopedia. --InShaneee 20:14, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
Well we're back on an even amount of opinions. I'd still like more comments about this, but I already did a RfC. Hm. Requested a Third Opinion. --Zeno McDohl 03:49, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
  • The article doesn't need the controls. Wikipedia is not a game guide. Nandesuka 13:29, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
  • I think describing gameplay and controls is certainly not outside the scope of a Wikipedia article, if the length and focus of the said description matches their notability and uniqueness. In this case, I think it makes sense to note that the gameplay includes ranged attacks and weapons, chakra meter, and Kawarimi no Jutsu, and maybe describe each of them with one or two sentences. A list of controls is in my opinion unnecessary and possibly distracting. Aapo Laitinen 15:10, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Pshh you guys are ignorant. It dosn't make anysense not to list the basic controls. I don't understand how you guys can't see that. Its not like I am giving any tips; this is far from being a game guide. I may be behind in votes, but we'll see who's right over time.--SwordKirby537 00:19, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
I've left a comment on your user discussion. Something I believe you should read. --Zeno McDohl 00:29, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
As the Wikipedia policy states, no personal attacks. Calling a group of users ignorant falls under this. Please refrain from doing so. Also, just because you do not agree with a policy (ex: WP:NOT) does not mean you can just ignore it. --Zeno McDohl 00:28, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
Last time I checked, "ignorant" just means an absence of knowledge. I was not using it as a medium of attacking.--SwordKirby537 01:25, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
Quote "uneducated in general" for the definition. Besides that, you have no right to judge others intelligence by a few lines, therefor it was a personal attack. And also, this should not be continued here at all, but left on user talk. --Zeno McDohl 02:57, 16 November 2005 (UTC)


First off, I am definatley ignorant and uneducated, so feel free to call me that whenever you feel the need to- it won't even be an insult!

As for putting the controls in- the question is- why? Something that might be more fitting for Wikipedia would be a description of certain moves that as a player can do which are unique to this game

peace Sethie 01:36, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

this is getting ridiculous. no other articles i have seen has the controls; if you want to give the readers an idea of the gameplay, then write a couple of sentences on that, like does the game focus on and what elements are unique to it, and if evasion or blocking or countering or grappling and stuff like that is easy, heavily used, or important.Blueaster 00:33, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move
