message: I think the infobox design at Total Annihilation looks pretty good. Maybe that could be used instead of the current design.. (I'm just talking about the design, not the content.) What do you think? --Conti|✉ 16:20, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Infobox design 

message: Couple of naming issues I want to bring up:
* Modification vs. mod article title (see Talk:Modification)
* If disambiguating something about games or gaming, should it be "X (games)" or "X (gaming)" (ignoring video/computer issue)?  (See :Category:Computer and video game terminology for example.)
* :Category:Role-playing computer games is growing, but should be :Category:Computer role-playing games.  Anyone want to help migrate?

replies: text: Modification/mod resolved, article was moved to mod (computer gaming).  :Category:Role-playing computer games listed on Wikipedia:Categories for deletion to get it renamed. --Mrwojo 04:03, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mod vs. modification and other naming 

message: Since Wikipedia is not a dictionary, :Category:Computer and video game terminology should only include articles that are actually about terminology, not articles about things which have names that are part of c&vg terminology. This category appears to function mostly as a category dump for random c&vg-related articles. Fredrik | talk 23:36, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  Other topics use a singularly-named higher level category to separate X-related things from Xs (such as :Category:Opera and :Category:Operas).  We can do something similar by placing JAMMA, :Category:Video game characters, etc. under a :Category:Computer and video gaming topic. --Mrwojo 21:39, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Terminology category

message: I was wondering if anyone would like to participate? Right now we've just started off. Also, if it gets off the ground, I was wondering if we could become the superproject of your own? Only to show hierachy, of course, certainly we wouldn't get in your way! If there are objections that's OK. - Ta bu shi da yu 14:09, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: I am open to suggestions for revisions to this project manifesto. The infobox could probably use a few more categories, too. If you have any suggestions relating to this project, please let me know here. -- Grunt 18:37, 2004 Jun 15 (UTC)

I have manuals for several games, but hardly any boxes.  I am not sure how/if to include them in the infobox.  See X-COM: UFO Defense, where I put an image of the cover a bit down the article. --Yath 07:50, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
