[edit] Read First: How-To Guide
Updating this list may appear complicated, but it is not. The following instructions are very step by step and thus is longer.
Step 1: A Developer/Publisher (ex. Konami) Announces they are Making a Wii Game (ex. Adventure Game)
List "Adventure Game" and Whatever Known Details on the List of Untitled Wii Projects. Include your source and use the right arrow found in the edit box where it says 'Insert:'. For example, [http://website.com/Announcment →].
Step 2: The Developer/Publisher Announces It will be out sometime in 2007.
Add {{TBA|2007}} in the column that says 'Est. Release Date'.
Step 3: The Dev/Pub. Announces that they are Aiming for a Fall Release Date
Update the TBA to {{TBA|2007|Q4}}.
- Q1 (Quarter 1) refers to the months Jan-March, and is also known as "early next year", "beginning of next year", and "sometime before April".
- Q2(April-June) and Q3(July-Sept) can both be used to mean 'Summer', but in siding with caution it is preferred to list it as {{TBA|2007|Q3}} when it is announced for a summer release date
- Q4 is 'Fall', as it covers the months Oct-Dec.
Step 4: The Dev/Pub Announces a Title for the Project
Delete the Entry from List of Untitled Wii Projects and Add it to the List of Wii games. Add it in Alphabetical order, as the default sort is by name. Include your source and use the right arrow found in the edit box where it says 'Insert:' Update whatever Details are Known. If possible, create the article, or at least a stub, for this title.
Notes:
- Do not leave any entries blank. This makes sorting less effective. If any piece of information is unknown put TBA in that spot.
- If a title is not expected to come out for a particular region, 'Unreleased' is used instead of 'TBA'.
- Use the 'span style="display:none"' tag to have games that start with 'The' to sort properly. If you don't know what I am talking about, look at the code for The Godfather Blackhand Edition or The Bigs entries
- Do not add Virtual Console (downloadable) titles to this list. They belong on the Virtual Console list.
- Keep this list current.

[edit] Frequently Asked Questions
1. Must the reference be free and online?
- Online sources are preferred as they can be easily accessed for reference. If a game has been confirmed in a magazine, chances are a reliable online source will have the information as well.
2. I heard that X Developer is working on the Wii. Can I add it?
- The general inclusion guideline states: The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. This means that we only publish material that is verifiable with reference to reliable, published sources. And more specifically: One of the keys to writing good encyclopedia articles is to understand that they should refer only to facts, assertions, theories, ideas, claims, opinions, and arguments that have already been published by reputable publishers. In other words, as long as you can verify it with reliable sources, you may add it.
3. Define a 'Reliable Source'.
- This is a tricky subject, as even the most prominent gaming magazines and sites contain much speculation of upcoming games. Here is a general breakdown of reliable sources:
- Highest Reliability: Press Releases, Developer's/Publisher's Website, Wii.com
- High Reliability: Famitsu, IGN, GameSpot
- Good Reliability: GoNintendo, CodeName Revolution, Joystiq, Kotaku
- Low Reliability: Other Nintendo/Gaming blogs and sites
- No Reliability: Forums
- This list, of course, is not conclusive. If a headline starts with the word 'Rumor', do not add it onto this list until the headline reads 'Confirmed'. Please use your best judgment when adding titles to this list.
4. I've noticed you're missing this game/this date/this detail...
