335:, a game can belong to more than one genre, and can have more than one release date as well (in different countries). Fredrik's changes describe the most likely values in each field, which looks less cluttered indeed. I don't think it would affect flexibility, since "Developer: Konami, Nintendo" doesn't sound worse than "Developer(s): Konami, Nintendo". They aren't full sentences, so not using plurals doesn't affect readability. --

I'm a gamer, and wikipedia user, and would want to know if i could join this project. So far, i've only made one game-related article, but i've greatly contributed to some others. Also want to know where i could get more specific info on this project - like when the weekly meetings are for editing an

I'm pushing precision and exactness, not readability. By all means, they're both easily understood but grammatically one is more correct than the other. The question is; is it worth sacrificing grammar for what little you gain in aesthetics? Unfortunetly these days the answer is often yes, but that's
370:
Is there any consensus on what to call the list of games made by a particular person/company? Authors have bibliographies; do game developers have gameographies? This word seems well-established according to google, but the less common "ludography" seems to be more accurate, etymologically speaking.
304:
Personally, I've never minded the "(s)" and I think it provides a much higher degree of flexibility in the infobox. For instance; many games have different publishers for each country they are released in, and some have only one playing mode and platform. I feel that how it is currently, makes for a
403:
Is ludography even a word or is it just a coined term? For dev pages, I've always done (probably copied from someone else) "Game developed by ____." I really have no preference on this, although I am afraid that if we go with ludography that no one will know what it means. As it is theres only 2000
617:
There are no requirements. Just goto the project page and add your name. There aren't any meetings either. This is just a project to give editors that occasionally edit on game articles direction and focus (for lack of a better description - see the mission statement). Also look into participating

The Game Boy Micro is nothing more than a redesign of the Game Boy
Advance SP. Its the same thing so it belongs in the same gen as GBA and GBA SP. Its very debatable which gen the DS is apart of, but PSP is normally considered 7th. There is no indicator as to when the 7th generation began or will
464:
There seems to be a great deal of confusion over where handhelds belong in the 6th & 7th gen. The GB micro is 6th, despite being unreleased, whilst the PSP & DS are 7th and are on the market. This makes no sense to me. IMHO the 7th gen starts when the first 7th gen console is released,
468:
The Game boy advance has been on the market for years now. As the Micro adds no new hardware, it's just a cosmetic change. There's no need to put it in a separate category from the Game Boy
Advance, any more than there is to put the GBA SP in a different category.
690:, and found it a bit of a pain in the ass to put up with all the random movie screenshots etc. It'd be nice if we could put them into their own sub-category, using something like Template:game-screenshot, with the same notice, different category. Thoughts?

begin when it comes to handhelds. For consoles its easy to say because there's only 3 and they all come out at about the same time. Handhelds have major redesigns, updates, offspring, numerous manufacturers etc. I think how we have things, see
119:. I also prefer the previous version and I think the copy/paste code in the infobox's discussion should also be considered for reversion, since its current state leaves room for the mistake of putting the info. on the wrong side of the pipe. ā
107:
Without any sort of discussion the infobox was recently changed. Personally I liked the previous version, but what does everyone else think? I was contemplating reverting this, but thought getting some discussion on this would be best.

I've noticed that the infobox looks different in
Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox (other than the color changes made recently). Specifically, the borders between cells don't show up in IE. I've taken screenshots:

Which appearance is intended to be the correct one? IMO, I think the lines look better, as they separate the contents. The coding needs to be altered to make the appearance consistent in both browsers.

Problem with that is sometimes there isn't just one developer or publisher, or mode (or sometimes just 1), etc etc etc. If theres enough support for a change though, I'll do it.
