message: All right.  has been blanking sections of the article and made a few test edits. Before this gets into an edit war here, I am taking this discussion here to see if other editors can get involved. Any thoughts or opinions on this matter? Thanks, Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 22:48, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  We've got a bit of a serious problem here... 

message: This should be listed as a spin-off.
The game is an arcade style top-down viewpoint hack and slash / shooter.
Gameplay will be nothing like previous Silent Hill games.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.40.213.200 (talk) 06:43, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The section's name was changed from "Main video games" to "Installments" for reasons explained in the accompanying edit summary. Labeling games without the labels being supported by reliable sources would constitute original research, which contravenes Wikipedia's rule on verifiability. Currently, no source in the article uses these terms for Book of Memories. You are welcome to find one or multiple reliable sources which support these and add them to the article or to this talk page for someone else to add them to the article. The only characterization given to the game is "non-canonical" by source No 12 of the article. Hula Hup (talk) 09:43, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

text: The phrase "it is outside of the main canon" means that it is non-canonical. The term "spin-off" should not be added if not used by reliable sources. Hula Hup (talk) 20:45, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Book of Memories is NOT a "Main Game"! 

message: Silent Hill's 1-4 do not ever take place in alternate realities, ever, which is mentioned quite clearly in the games.  Why IGN is quoted as a source for this is also ridiculous.  One has to only look to all games made after 4 to realise that the majority of people outside Team Silent have no idea what their talking about.
The quote from Harry Mason is also misinterpreted. "This whole town is being invaded" means that the nightmare is coming into our reality, it's not taking place in another dimension at all.

thread_title:  It's NOT alternate dimensions 

message: An anonymous user has been updating the scores without updating the "accessdate" attribute. Since the user seems incapable of understanding what that involves, I suggest that someone check _all_ the scores as they are right now, correct them if necessary and update the accessdate. I'll do it myself unless a nice person (hint: that means you!) does it before I get around to do it myself. Please leave a note as an answer to this comment so we don't repeat the effort.

replies: text: You mean in this article or in other Silent Hill articles? This article has correct ratings for Downpour currently, but I don't remember when they had been last changed, you are welcome to clean-up the access dates. Hula Hup (talk) 16:59, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: In this article, by the IP that starts with 217. They were changed around June 19, and if you have checked them since then, it is sufficient to change the accessdate to any time between June 19 and whenever you checked (if you don't recall the exact date). I don't need to check them again myself if you say they're currently accurate. Nczempin (talk) 17:16, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Taken care of, they were updated on June 19 indeed. Thank you for notifying me of the matter, as I hadn't noticed it at all. Hula Hup (talk) 21:52, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: In the past few weeks many game sites and others have been reporting on some recent silent hill developments by Konami. Apparently there’s a soft reboot coming and a telltale game in the spirit of silent hill coming. Chris P Bacon77 (talk) 21:58, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: If you can provide a reliable source on this (check out this handy list of accepted reliable sources), I'd be more than happy to add it. Best, Rapunzel-bellflower (talk) 23:47, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

text: This is the talk page for the Silent Hill article. I don't see the links on a quick glance. Could you try posting the sources under my post (this one)? You can make an indented post by beginning your post with an ":". Rapunzel-bellflower (talk) 00:36, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

text: Could you try single brackets, e.g. [www.ign.com]? Or posting them to my talkpage? I'm not entirely sure why the links aren't showing. This hasn't happened before. Rapunzel-bellflower (talk) 00:57, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, so I checked guidelines about adding stuff about speculation about the future/rumors, and it seems that it's frowned upon, at least until the info can be verified. Which is unfortunate, but guidelines are guidelines. Sorry about that. I, for one, am hoping the rumors are true. Rapunzel-bellflower (talk) 01:15, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  I was going to add some recent developments but the page is locked 

message: There's no mention of the 3 "Silent Hill: Orphan" mobile games ("Silent Hill Mobile" in Europe), they should be under "Other games". There's an actual wiki page for the 3 games (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Hill:_Orphan) but despite the fact they were released globally and actually published by Konami, they aren't mentioned here. Someone should get to adding them (someone who isn't me).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:CB10:296:CA00:9862:DA8E:33FE:273E (talk) 20:40, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Silent Hill: Orphan 

message: Since I added the "Missing Information" template to the cancelled section, I figured it would only be fair to provide some background information/sources for whoever wants to add it. Some of this would also be useful to expanding the development section in Silent Hill: Homecoming.

thread_title:  Cancelled games 

message: Not only that but listing it under Other media doesn´t sit right with me. Even Play Novel: Silent Hill is filed in the Other games section and it has less gameplay. Ascension features "puzzles", avatar creation, needs to be installed, etc. Metacritic files it under the game category and the IGN reviewed episode 1 as such.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:1F:8701:A401:E4A0:AAF:F02F:F18C (talk) 19:51, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
