[edit] Purpose of list?

This list appears to be here for editorial purposes -- should it be in the Wikipedia: namespace? It also lists image pages, a self-reference etc. --Eloquence 03:50 25 May 2003 (UTC)

yep .. the related changes function is here quite useful to see the development of the game articles. --Ebricca 19:18, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject

The newly started WikiProject Games is looking for participation in establishing what a game article should look like. Any participation is appriciated. Thanks, Gentgeen 01:19, 8 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Should specific games be listed on this page? Some are, most aren't. I can see the case for including influential and archetypal games, but quite a few of the games listed don't fit either descriptor. Ditto for publishers. -Sean 07:24, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Lists are always incomplete, anyway. The usual argument is to make lists as complete as possible, so that clicking RelatedChanges brings up a more inclusive list that people filter for themselves. The other argument is that listing things is a type of recognition for pages, topics and so on. I think that's better done by producing specialised lists: list of chess topics and so on. I'm for having this an inclusive list.

[edit] How 'bout we change H games to Hentai games?

I was skimming through this list and came across "H Games". Curious, I clicked it, wanting to know what that meant. Now, "List of Hentai Games" can easily be seen in my browser's history, and as luck as it my family seems to check it quite a bit - and they'll know if I delete it or not! So, could you, or should I, change it? --Bentendo24 00:22, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

WP:BOLD. If you're trying to appeal doing such an edit, though, you need a better reason than your personal agenda...—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 00:35, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move to List of topics

The article "List of fictional things" was deleted for being listcruft. The same may happen to this article at some point. Consider merging it into a section at List of topics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.28.175.4 (talk) 02:27, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
