Wikipedia is not a strategy guide or instruction manual. Wikipedia articles should focus on the games themselves, not on how to play them; they should not contain tips, tricks, or cheat codes. That information is available elsewhere, in printed guides and online, and does not belong in an encyclopedia entry. Please do not add your own hints or opinions of the game. Verifiable content about the history, design, and overall description of the game is welcome. If you have questions about whether specific information should be added, ask here first. |

[edit] Is it worth mentioning?
is it worth mentioning that the title sounds strangely like another game called Yoshis Story? Tnu1138 01:26, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Yoda Stories.jpg
Image:Yoda Stories.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Abandonware status
Ok, let's settle this here before it turns into a revert war. "Abandonware" means nothing, legally speaking, especially when it isn't officially declared by the copyright holder (LucasArts, in this case). U.S. copyright law still applies to this game, even though it is no longer being maintained. I DID look up the term, right here on WP, and the current page supports my argument. I don't know if there's an official policy against linking to sites that illegaly host old, copyright-encumbered software for download without compensation to the copyright holder, but I'm gonna play it self and remove the link.
So, you can call it Abandonware, if you want. Just don't post any links to illegal download sites. — EagleOne\Talk 02:28, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- I think this is the most relevant passage from the abandonware article: Those who do not own a copyright cannot merely claim the copyright abandoned and start using it without permission of the copyright holder, who would then have a legal remedy. Even though we're not hosting the game here, I still don't think that its a good idea to link to abandonware sites, for the reasons given above. — EagleOne\Talk 02:40, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
