Housekeeping

we have lots of articles in the Video Game Category all for the same things but most of them seem a bit random and lack any kind of real article. {eg Crescent Hawks Inception and its sub-articles Crescent Hawks Inception/Hacking Guide, Crescent Hawks Inception/Strategy Guide 1 & Crescent Hawks Inception/Strategy Guide 2. I propose that each Video game gets proper article just like any other article and a section at the bottom called RESOURCES much like we do now but instead of a list of links and downloads we have a wikilink to an article containing all the downloads, strategy guides and other more OOC technical stuff (eg Cresent Hawks Inception/Resources). This way each game would have a simple two pages rather than the multiple pages some have. --Dmon 17:40, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Ideally, each should be one article with maybe a "for more, see other article". So yeah, I agree with you. Someone just needs to step up and take charge, if that is where their interest is. You might also be interested in reading this recent convo. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 18:31, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Right now I am on shift at work (five consecutive night shifts... oh the joy) but after I am finished I intend to polish up as many unit articles as I can. if after my next work cycle (so about two weeks) nobody has stepped up I will give it a crack. (EDIT) also by that point MekTek should of released the MW4 games for download hopefully so I believe that could generate a bit of extra traffic ;-)--Dmon 18:45, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Call me cynical, but I imagine we'll be waiting a bit longer than your backfilling for the the re-release of MWIV. (Though, I am sorta considering getting a new PC for just that reason...) Absolutely agree with you that we could see more traffic, and I'd rather have Editors who know what they're doing 'fix' the article(s) so that a clear framework is evident. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 18:58, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

The official line is still mid August as far as I know, for MW4M and the MechPaks at least. I am also wondering if we should have something on MekTek and their expansion packs as I believe they are to be intergrated into the re-release. --Dmon 19:04, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

No reason there shouldn't be, IMO. --Revanche ^{(talk|contribs)} 19:53, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Any ideas on how to handle the MekTek content? --Dmon 19:56, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
