Game Ideas Wiki:Continue

''You've decided the continuing an article or series is the way to go? It's a good thing you already read our Tutorial.''

Hi. This area of the wiki is meant to get you up to speed at adding to series or game ideas. Our Tutorial covers editing these pages, but where do you go next?

Right here. This page covers places that should be monitored for little fixes, articles up for adoption, and a lot more. First up is inspiration from our best ideas and articles to date.

Inspiration
If you looked at the New game help page, you know where are inspiration comes from. Everywhere, really. And this is how we show it.

After switching roles of Mario, Peach and Bowser, we work to create epic games. Like the art to the right, we switch the roles of Mario and Peach. Or like in Epic Saga, we switch the roles of Bowser and Mario. Or we forget the Mario series and we go with Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, King of Fighters, Hotshots Tennis, Sonic, Mega Man, and Pokemon! And hey, who needs pre-made series when you can make your own! That's why you can find Epic Saga, Kross, and Double Paradox series. Feeling constrained by current consoles? We made the GameCom and the V.T. Volcano when some felt that way. And then we decided that all that was well and good, but made a bunch more stand alone articles for your enjoyment. And we're completely flexible enough to have your input on our games and series. So after you view our current articles, why not add your own sequals?

But before you go, take a look at some of the nearly completed ideas? (below)

How to help out

 * If you want to help but you're not sure where to start, try improving the various stub articles by adding content.
 * Another helpful activity would be to check the list of wanted pages for frequently linked-to articles that don't exist yet.
 * To follow the changes to this wiki, and to look out for new users and edits use recent changes.
 * You can find a list of useful templates on Category:Templates, some of which are documented on    :Templates.
 * If you need help editing, you could start with Help:Editing or the tutorial.

Things anyone can continue

 * Useful activities
 * Help expand some article stubs.
 * Locate and mark pages that need expanding as article stubs.
 * Create links to some orphaned pages.
 * Upload and add some images! Visit Special:Upload. Add them to a category too, like [[:Category:Images ]].
 * Write a new article that's on the wanted list!
 * Fix any double redirects by redirecting the first page to the third page.
 * Check for broken redirects and either mark them for deletion or find a more appropriate target.
 * Consider splitting up very long pages into different pages or subpages.
 * Create some links on dead end pages.
 * Add more...

Going on Complete
These articles are nearly done, but little additions may be beneficial. If you have any ideas, I'm sure the creators wouldn't mind a comment with your suggestion. As they are nearly done, it is recommended to make the change in the form of a comment bearing the suggestion, rather than just making the change. Such changes involve plot twists, new characters, cameos and other major changes. This does not cover spelling or grammar mistakes.

Check out Category:Going on Complete for articles in this category.

Near Perfect
These articles are basically complete games, and need very little help. Or so their author thinks. I bet someone like you could find a couple things that could improve the article even more. Despite these pages further along than the ones going on complete. Major changes are again left on the talk page, minor changes can be made. However, there will be something notifying you if the article is so perfect that the user doesn't check it anymore. If that's the case, All helpful changes are accepted.

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

For a list of desired categories, see User:Geniusguy445/Categorylist

Adoptions
None at the moment.

Ideas up for Grabs
Ideas the community has, but may not have the thought to deliver the rest of an article. Starting points that users aren't using. (E.g. A fighting game pitting Nintendo vs. GameCom)
 * 1) Metroid (maybe Prime) Sequel for the Wii U. The remote is used as a special visor (e.g. Scan visor that can be shone all around the room rather than moving the view on-screen).
 * 2) Based off of this amazing site, my idea is of a pokemon game. However, instead of just breeding two species that have to be similar, you can breed any pokemon together, and create your own unique pokemon and fight with them against other combos. The reason this isn't an article yet is I don't have the time, nor the knowledge of Pokemon necessary. So help is welcome.
 * 3) Speaks for it self.

The Rest
If you want to look for pages needing help for yourself, here are links to a random page, and all pages. Those should help you on your way.

''Thank you for reading all the way here. We hope you received inspiration and are rushing off to make an article. Looking for more information on you user account? That can be found here. Just follow the link!''
