; {{tlx|Infobox video game}}
: Infobox VG is in articles about video games that have been or will be released for single or multiple platforms. The image used should be game box art and no other [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|non-free]] images should be present.
: Never list a computer game as a "PC" game—list the applicable [[operating system]]s instead.
: The fields for director, producer, designer, programmer, artist, writer, and composer should be used to list people who played key roles in the development of a game. However, their inclusion should be carefully measured not to make the infobox overly long.

[[File:TowerFall unlucky.gif|right|frameless|100px]] Hey WikiProject Video games—thanks for [[Special:Contributions/WikiProject Video games|your recent contributions]]. I noticed your interest in Wikipedia's video game content and thought you might be interested in the [[WP:VG|video games WikiProject]]. We've done some great work ([[Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Featured content|over 200]] pieces of [[File:Cscr-featured.svg|12px|link=]] Featured content and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Good content|over 600]] [[File:Symbol support vote.svg|12px|link=]] Good articles), but there is plenty more [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games/to do|to do]]. Come say hello on [[WT:VG|our talk page]], participate in our [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games/to do|current events]], or let me know if I can help with anything. Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia and I hope I'll see you around! <span style='font:1.1em"Avenir";padding:1px 3px;border:1px solid #909;color:#909'>czar&nbsp;[[User:Czar|<span style="color:#909;">♔</span>]]</span> 01:47, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
