Template talk:Resident Evil series

It feels like this template needs a bit more expanding! Empty2005 09:05, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Why this edition?
I don't know why someone reduced this article so much, but it's just plain wrong, specially for the deletion of the Characters's links, which were undoubtly used a lot, probably even more than the game's tittles. I'm gonna revert it, and if someone's gonna edit it, you might better give a worthy reason.
- WT:CVG#Navboxes yet again was linked in the edit summary. Short version: this template is too large and cluttered to be useful. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 08:21, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- At risk of being in problems, those rules suck! Alexlayer 20:08, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Upcoming games
Why doesn't this template include them? I don't see much reason not to. 199.126.137.209 03:55, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- I added 5 and Wii to the set. if no one likes it they can change it. Jareth 19:51 14 November 2006 (UTC)

- They are officially announced games. There is no reason to delete them, it's not like they are in question.
- Or would you suggest we also remove Phantom Hourglass from {{Template:Zelda games}}?
- Rather then this edit war, you're an admin for goodness sakes..., discuss your point here and let's try to get consensus. JackSparrow Ninja 17:49, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Navboxes. The bar isn't some vaguely-defined "official"-ness; it's whether the games have been shown in playable form and whether they have a release date. RE5 and RE:UC have neither; they exist in trailer and hype form only. They may be important once they're released, but right now they're too far away and too nebulous to go on a template with core topics. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 17:55, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- It is your own written article, and a guideline. It doesn't seem this has been discussed, or challenged yet, so I'd say it makes a good time to do so, rather then just posting your guideline as a policy.

- I think both should be included now, rather than later. I don't see the harm it does. I've read comments from AMIB (here, and on other talk pages), but I certainly still strongly feel they should be listed. "Playable form" shouldn't decide templates (all the time at least). What about films? If they aren't seen by anyone or whatever, are they off the template? I don't think so (maybe that is the case? I wouldn't know, I don't regulary edit movie templates). It's not a completely exact comparision: but both do get announced. Both have trailers to preview them and so on. But back to the topic at hand: if the games don't become important (which I doubt), they can always be removed from the template later. Navigation to future games is important too.

[edit] Stop
If you don't like the template, just go ahead and create a better and smaller template, but don't use that little template...It's useless...The template doesn't help and it's too disordered...I think the actual is much better and helpful for everyone.Armando (talk|ImgTalk|contribs) 16:17, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- We've been over this at length. A three-screen-long template with every single link isn't useful. If there are smaller series of interlinked, strongly-related articles, make similarly-small navboxes for those article series, but don't cram every single link in Category:Resident Evil and its subcats into this template. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 05:28, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

- Yeah, It's time to move on from the generic CVG template as this series has crossed over into other media like Mortal Kombat and Batman. --Ra1d3n 02:09, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New template
Well, I've just made a new template. It's as small as the prior one, it looks good and I think there's no problem with it, so we can use it from now on. Armando.O (talk|contribs) 22:42, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- It's one quarter totally useless metadata, it's not standard appearance, it links to articles composed only of speculation/promotional material, and it links to a goofy movie that isn't even notable in Japan. These reasons are why the standard appearance is standard. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 05:58, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
OK, then I'm deleting the useless content but the structure of my template is better and clear. Actually, it's based on your template...but now it's just more clear.Armando.O (talk|contribs) 15:23, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] This template should be split into two
2 templates are needed: one for films, one for games. Just a generic "series" template is clutter. Why must movies and games be stuck together as series? Otherwise clear sections need to be decided. I see nothing wrong with "games", "movies" and "other" for section names. Just throwing them all together (and even with the film by the movies) isn't very organized.

[edit] Deleting Links
I don't understand why things like RE4's creatures, RE5, or Umbrella Chronicles should not be included. RE5 especially - yes, it's not out yet. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's being developed, it's part of the core series, and is just as important and relative as any other part. Also, why do the other RE games get their creatures linked, but RE4 does not? Umbrella Chronicles is kind of understandable, since it's in a sense a "spinoff"... but surely the other two deserve links (unless someone integrates RE4's creatures with the others?) I understand the need for keeping the templates small, but this is surely going a bit too far. Please reconsider. SouperAwesome 09:46, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well, i agree with the RE4 creatures at least. As people DO NOT WANT TO GO AROUND AND TRY TO FIND THE INFORMATION THEY WANT. If there is not a Direct link to it, and as there are enough creatures to make it almost about the size as the other page, it should be their because, yeah the game has been released, and has been out for a while. I am going to change it back. Lord GaleVII 19:02, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
