Talk:List of minor universes/Archive 1

Before I throw any more time at this page: would people generally find this useful as a page? It would replace the wall of text I'm basing it on from the bottom of the universe page, and sections would be linked to by a minor universe template analogous to {{uv}}.

Well, I'm all for it. There are a lot of these little representations that leave you wondering, "What kind of game is that?", and right now I think the wiki doesn't have much in the way of satisfactory answers to such questions, likely for lack of suitable places to put such information. So this definitely serves a purpose, and I already learned a few things reading it. I could contribute a bit to it later, too. Zyrac (talk) 08:13, 25 February 2015 (EST)

Yeah, I mean the text of the sections is rather sloppy and ripped verbatim from the universe page, as I mentioned. I was mostly setting up the infoboxes as a means of consistency and page formation, with the idea that the text would be more easily improved later. Miles (talk) 16:02, 25 February 2015 (EST)

I think this is a good idea. We need to see if we can do anything with the table of contents though. Toomai Glittershine Da Bomb 21:47, 25 February 2015 (EST)

I agree that 60 is a bit unwieldy, but I'm not quite sure what would be an alternative. Removing it altogether seems unwise... Miles (talk) 23:17, 25 February 2015 (EST)

Also a couple of clarifications for consistency:

1. Should minor Namco universes be referenced on this page or on a separate page like "List of Namco universes"? Their representation varies widely from Dig Dug (enemy, music excerpt, Namco Roulette) to King & Balloon (Namco Roulette in one version of SSB4 only), and it'd be a little weird to reference such a minor thing on a page that's already kind of unwieldy.
2. In terms of item-origin universes, which I recently implemented pages for, would the more ambiguous cases of Meteos, GoldenEye 007, or Super Scope also warrant universe pages? And depending on the previous answer about Namco, how about Galaga or Rally-X?
3. Do we care about documenting Marvel vs. Capcom anywhere given that it is officially referenced?

I know I'm probably way overthinking these but I would like some consistency. Comments are appreciated. Miles (talk) 13:00, 26 February 2015 (EST)
