Hi there!
Welcome to our wiki, and thank you for your contributions! There's a lot to do around here, so I hope you'll stay with us and make many more improvements.
- Read this first as it provides many great resources designed to help users get oriented with the wiki and become part of the community.
- Visit the recent changes to see what other people are editing right this minute, and where you can help.
- Questions? You can ask at the help desk or on the "discussion" page associated with each article, or post a message on my talk page!

I'm really happy to have you here, and look forward to working with you!
Game releases
It's a relatively minor point, but we treat the earliest release date of a game as its release date unless there is some major distinction we're making between the Japanese and international versions. Please try to adhere to this. Miles (talk) 20:57, 8 March 2015 (EDT)
We will just use the asterik, with a note showing its INT release for those which had their first release in Japan. Jskylinegtr (talk) 21:07, 8 March 2015 (EDT)
- That's extremely unnecessary and goes against long-standing wiki standards. Please refrain from doing so. Miles (talk) 21:42, 8 March 2015 (EDT)
Reminder of this. Game releases in infoboxes like that should be listed by the earliest release date. If people want more detail, they can click the interwiki link to find out more. Miles (talk) 02:16, 25 March 2015 (EDT)
Please just use an asterik, then hover the asterik to see the West release, while the default shown is JP release year. Jskylinegtr (talk) 05:38, 25 March 2015 (EDT)
- I don't think you understand what Miles is saying. He's saying we do things a certain way, and someone like you can't just go and change them whenever they feel like it.
