User:WolfenSilva/CVG series

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tests for a potential CVG series infobox or overview section. Styling should be discarded as wikicode for tables isn't exactly my strong.

[edit] using the CVG infobox as a basis for a new one

A new infobox, similar to {{Template:Infobox CVG}}, suggested by WolfenSilva:

  • + Better for series that remained unchanged through the years
  • + Provide a fast overview
  • + Suitable for games with frequent releases ...
  • - ... and unsuitable for spaced releases.
  • - over two changes in developer, publisher or genre ruin the whole layout completely
  • - Extended fields (such as the number of spinoff titles) might as well disrupt the table

  • + Better organized
  • + favours games with individual articles
  • + flexible template already exists
  • - unsuitable for long series (over 8 games)
  • - only a games list, no overview
