Game Ideas Wiki:Community Portal

This section is heavy in detail for the goings-on of the wiki. New users need not concern themselves with this section yet.

In efforts to make this page more current, some community activities that are not being used often enough are now available through our Long Term expansion plans page. They may return when the listed requirements are met.

Adoptions
None at the moment.

Miscellaneous

 * add categories to businesses, real and fake. One for the real ones: eg Nintendo. And for the not-yet-real: eg Design companies of ours.
 * add them to games in the same way

Category Improvements
I recently reorganized the current categories we have into subcategories to add some consistency. Something most of the categories lack.

So, as a work in progress, we are adding categories that describe ideas (video game idea category), the console it's for (Wii games, DS games, even invented consoles like the GameCom and the V.T. Volcano) and the other things listed below.


 * 1) The company who makes them
 * 2) What console they are for
 * 3) What series they are from (or if they're Category:Stand-alone games)
 * 4) What genre they're of.

One thing I saw recently is on another wiki, they organize pages under Wii and other categories, then the category pages explain them. So, at the moment, so do the Mario Kart Super Smash Bros., and Pokemon categories. I'd love to expand the many categories we have into such pages.

I do realize that there is a lot of categories written different ways, so we need to figure out how to make them consistent. If all of our categories lacked "games" after them, I think that would fit better.

We add these to our pages to describe them, and to further connect similar articles for your enjoyment. Help would be appreciated by anyone.

Categories may be listed here for further reference. User:Geniusguy445/tabviewer|Hey!
 * Category:PC_games
 * Category:3DS_games
 * Category:DS games
 * Category:GigaCom
 * Category:Flash_Games

Assorted

 * Backgrounds. The guideline is to keep any game logos for the tiled background less than 100 pixels wide. Otherwise, users aren't able to see the logos. And there is a possibility that the background will be made transparent in the future. Keep that in mind when selecting logos. Thanks, admins.
