thread_title:  Expansion 

message: 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)

thread_title: Why this edition?

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)

replies: text:  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)
thread_title:  Stop 

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)
thread_title:  New template 

message: 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. RobJ1981 07:58, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: This template should be split into two

message: 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.

replies: text: 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)

message: Some people are moving REUC to the side games. Masachika Kawata (the producer of the game) said that it's a true Resident Evil game, which it's story is canon...http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=75436

:RE: UC should remain part of the main series. I have reverted it; let's keep it that way. HeroOfVirtue 14:37, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The story can remain cannon while the game is apart from the main series. The game is mostly a revisit to the locals in the RE series. ScienceApe (talk) 17:59, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That whole sentence with the "true Resident Evil game" comment talks about the playing style of the game and its "horrific atmosphere", not about the story - but either way, it doesn't matter. The new storyline segments of The Umbrella Chronicles, such as the 2003 scenario are canon, just as much as other spin-offs like Resident Evil Survivor, which was acknowledged in the opening of Resident Evil Zero. The Umbrella Chronicles is part of the storyline, but the Chronicles titles are spin-offs with completely different gameplay compared to the classic and the over-the-shoulder Resident Evil styles, that's why they really shouldn't be included in the main series.

message: What about the Soundtracks? Well by that i mean the actual ones (ie. "Biohazard 2 Origonal Soundtrack") coms some of them are Orphaned as well!OsirisV (talk) 19:39, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Soundtracks

message: Please do not shorten the links when doing so misrepresents the original title. For example: When Biohazard 4D-Executer and Resident Evil: Degeneration sit together, do not shorten the second link into Degeneration. Doing so causes the surfer to mistakenly think either the title of the original title of the first movie is "Resident Evil: Biohazard 4D-Executer" or the title of the second movie is "Degeneration".

thread_title:  Shortening the links 

message: Why is Survivor 2 not added to the list? Is there any policy at all that says only those entries which have articles can be added to a template.l? If there is no such policy then I think Survivor 2 should be re-added to the template. Also I think Dino Stalker should be listed under the related section. Even though it's not a Resident Evil game it is the third entry in the Survivor video game series. KahnJohn27 (talk) 19:02, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Survivor 2 has been constantly added; removed and re-added. The reason for the constant removals was the argument that it's just a re-port of CODE: Veronica and only appears on Wikipedia as a subsection of the CODE: Veronica article. However, I would like to point out that The Typing of the Dead is comparable to Survivor 2 - both are games created independently, but based on an earlier entry (and so aren't re-ports). TotD, however, has its own article.-- OsirisV (talk) 21:18, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Survivor 2 is not a re-port at all. The original CODE Veronica has your character completely visible while on the other hand Survivor 2 is a first-person arcade shooter just like the original Resident Evil Survivor. It's gameplay is completely different than the original Code Veronica. Not only that it's story line is much different than the original Code Veronica. The only similarity is that the characters are the same. I've played and completed the original CODE Veronica and Survivor 2 myself many years ago and both are much different than each other. In a re-port game play and storyline are always same. That's All the gaming review websites classify Survivor 2 as a separate game. So I don't understand how are some users making the decision to remove Survivor 2 and calling it a re-port. Also if there is no policy that prohibits from entries without articles from.being added to a template then there is no problem with adding it. Instead of removing it again and again the involved users should start a discussion and follow the Wiki policies instead of deciding on their own what to do. I am readding it keeping in view the Wikipedia policies. Instead of removing it again without a proper reason users should discuss about it. However I think if users would have already discussed this dispute earlier then it would have already been resolved. KahnJohn27 (talk) 06:45, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
