Talk:List of video game publishers

message: The VG industry box is significantly reducing the list width. Basically, the table cannot go in whitespace under the box because the table cannot "extend" its rows at the top. I have a 16:10 with always open Firefox bookmark panel and the table is very cramped. I am not sure how this can be countered. I can only imagine either adding about 15 line breaks or removing the box. Any thoughts? —  H3llkn0wz  ▎talk  20:56, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, I saw that one when I was reading the archives. Not sure whether I do or do not agree about it. Current box is certainly too large. I might stir up some discussions about some later day.—  H3llkn0wz  ▎talk  21:37, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  VG industry box 

message: This would apply to developer list in particular. How many notable games is enough for a typical entry? This would not limit exceptionally notable games/series, such as Warcraft, Starcraft, where we should list more than 3. And what would determine which games to include? Rating? —  H3llkn0wz  ▎talk  21:37, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, clutter vs. informative is a very tricky balancing act.  As soon as you add a few, some fanboy will come along and add all his favorite games, whether they're notable or not.  I would say 3 is a good number as a max.  If they have fewer that are really notable, don't clutter it up with their obscure titles.  And use "series" where possible, so we don't have to list, for example, WarCraft I, WarCraft II, World of WarCraft, etc.  That's just my $.02... — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 22:09, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh well, there goes my hope for listing every FF title... Anyhow, I have been adding 4 rows per entry for now without dates. I suppose it could be trimmed further. Fanboy issue is an issue; but then again—it is always an issue for any selective listing. I will just keep this on watchlist and trim stuff whenever someone pops up with his favourite Meteor Strikes Back XIV: Revenge of the Asteroid. Besides, given the time it will be needed to fill this in, random editors will often pop in with misc issue fixes, and the page will end up in their watchlist. That would be my own $.02... wait, I'm in UK — £.02 —  H3llkn0wz  ▎talk  22:36, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

text: I don't have any objection to 4 per company.  I just threw 3 out there as a suggestion. Yeah, listing every FF game would've been fun. : ) — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 17:58, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

text: Limit should be 6 but it shouldn't really go over 3 or 4 games unless the game is really a key game for the company.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.184.232.247 (talk) 05:28, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There should not be a limit for when it is not necessary. If Blizzard published 10 more franchises that crushed all sales; then Blizzard entry would have 13 games. Because that is what is notable. "Regular" companies can have 3 entries. 4 does sound like an overkill as I did not realize that every second company here would have developed games. After all this is a list of publishers.—  H3llkn0wz  ▎talk  13:03, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I do urge you to be slightly more pedantic in the future about checking the edits. Several cities, games, and many of the sort keys have broken values. Nevertheless, thank you a lot for taking your time.—  H3llkn0wz  ▎talk  13:34, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Can you guys help me edit the Theatrical Film Production Company page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_theatrical_film_production_companies to follow the same format as the distributors page, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Theatrical_Film_Companies ,  It is a lot of work and I would appreciate your help. It is also similar in style to the this page and the video game devlopers page.
