[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer and video games
I think it's time to come for the CVG community to have a discussion about our main project page. I think that while we have a lot of content on the page, to new users the page might be a little intimidating. Also, how do people feel the general organization of the project could be improved? There are some project like Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history and Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography that in my opinion are better organized than our WP. Please provide your input. jaco♫plane 19:14, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Considering that the Mil. Hist project is some 75% guidelines and WPBIO is some 13kb, we can start by clearing out the excess. My suggestions:
- Cut down on the info section and make it resemble the WPBIO page with links in the headers for each major subpage of the project and a short description: Collaboration, Review, Assessment, Magazine Project, workshop, etc, maybe even the talk page. We want these pages to be looked at.
- I'm not sure what the Goal section is for at all, the lead takes care of that.
- Organize all our templates into a single (small) table, with explanation/usage on the template itself. Roughly in order of importance: Infobox, CVGproj, image tags, external links, stub tags.
- The GAs have to go, and the FAs could reasonably be replaced with a link to the assessments. The real problem is that it's in the middle of the guidelines.
- I'm gonna start moving a few things around on the page to see if I can't get it to make a little more sense. Right now it's in Wiki Order: Earliest to Latest. Nifboy 04:18, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- How's This? The fact that several sections are actually transposed subpages makes this annoying. Nifboy 04:53, 8 December 2006 (UTC)|
- We could probably just use the GA-class CVG article's category instead of listing all of them (Category:GA-Class video game articles). Thunderbrand 15:38, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

- I was thinking it might be a good idea to split off the CVG guidelines to a separate article. I think that would go a long way to making the page more accessible. jaco♫plane 21:41, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- If you do that, maybe merge them with Wikipedia:Game guide. Andre (talk) 05:00, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
