[edit] Unreleased mods?

Is is O.K. to post unrelease mods? Danm36 16:18, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

No. --InShaneee 14:59, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other mods..

So I take it once a mod is released retail it's not considered a mod anymore? -- Kflorence 04:25, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I guess so Danm36 16:17, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

It's a mod if it can't run standalone. If it can run standalone, then it's a game.

With Steam this is difficult to decide. You can for example purchase Counter-Strike without buying Half-Life. Steam will then download Half-Life (the game on which CS is based), but it won't allow you to play HL, only CS. This is because Steam has a content management system, controlling which software the user has access to. --Pizzahut2 19:30, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

There is still a strong concept of mods in Steam. The cited example of Counter-Strike has been stand-alone for a long time and I would not consider it to be a mod any more. However, I still think it should remain in the list due to it's origins as a mod and that it is probably one of the most significant, influential and popular mods. --AJanuary 10:35, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] To do list

• Adding the mods listed at Category:Half-Life mods.
• Somehow categorising the page, according to the current AfD discussion. (Any suggestions?)
• Writing a mod article for Sven Co-op.

--Pizzahut2 23:49, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

This might be good to know when editing the article: Wikipedia:List guideline#Purpose of lists --Pizzahut2 19:52, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I added the standard to-do list thing at the top. Hope that's OK --WikiSlasher 02:06, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ehhh

You people are getting rid of a lot of mod pages. Uber555 12:38, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia is very strict when it comes to notability, however deleting Sven Co-op was a bit over the top imho. --Pizzahut2 13:41, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What the!?!?

Your deleting some of the greatest single player mods for some unknown reason. POV and Azure sheep are excellent finished hl1 mods so why delete them? 88.104.45.235 18:07, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

The reason for a deletion is given in the deletion log, see the links above.

• Azure Sheep: The deletion is the result of a discussion amongst Wikipedia editors, which can be viewed here.
• Point of View was deleted because no one contested a proposed deletion. The reason for the proposal was "Fails WP:V, WP:RS, WP:OR."

--Pizzahut2 19:54, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Those were the reason to be deleted the page. Cant they just be listed? (without a page) --Snewerl 10:00, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Maybe, but wouldn't it be best to start adding mods everyone agrees with? That's the ones in the Category:Half-Life mods. --Pizzahut2 13:39, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Shouldnt the mods be added because of notability instead of agreing with? In Azure Sheep case, it was reviewed by the above sites and it was reviewed by a magazine also. Shouldnt that make for notability? Snewerl 20:27, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

They got removed from the list because someone thought they aren't notable enough. So instead of adding / removing / argueing, why not add the mods where everyone agrees they are notable first, and *then* add other mods or argue. --Pizzahut2 01:01, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Whatever. I gave up on trying to add/fix stuff in Wikipedia. It is wasted time. You try to do something and it is deleted just because some admin decides it. Waste of time. Snewerl 08:46, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gunman Chronicles?

Gunman Chronicles is listed in Category:Half-Life mods, however I don't think it was ever released as a mod, so not sure if it should be in the list of Half-Life mods. --Pizzahut2 13:44, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I would say it fits the wikipedia definition of a mod for all but made by the public, which I would contest with. Unless you can find another suitable name to give it (I'm sure there's one rattling about in the back of my head but I can't think of it) I would suggest it stays. --AJanuary 10:44, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Single player mod descriptions

I've added mods from the category and from the main article, anyone willing to add some descriptions? --Pizzahut2 13:57, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
